Learn about a 108-bead mala and how it can support counting in practice.
A 108-bead mala is a strand of beads often used to mark each recitation. It can offer tactile structure, so you do not have to keep calculating while maintaining a practice rhythm.
如何修习
Hold the mala comfortably, move one bead after each phrase, and keep a slow pace. If counting takes all of your attention, set the number aside and simply follow the feeling of touch.
从小处开始，选择合适的节奏，并允许自己明天再回来。
- 选择一段较短的时间，例如五分钟。
- 需要时放慢速度，留意正在发生的事。
- 以一声钟响或一次有意识的呼吸结束。
温馨提醒
The number 108 has meaning in many traditions, but completing every bead is not required for a meaningful session.

Do I need to do it perfectly?
