a simple buddhist
does anyone else use a mala during meditation? i do and i believe that its helped me get into a deeper mode of meditation. i start by using a few chants, of course counting them with the mala beads, then i just sit in silence and either do the metta bhavana or another meditation.
so does anyone else use malas in a simular way or can anyone else suggest other ways of using it? i really love my mala, but i do know that my mala doesnt make me a buddhist, which was one thing that i used struggle with when i first got it.
how many people out there use malas and do u only wear it during meditation or do u wear it all day? i personally wear mine all day b/c its long and it moves with me and that tends to make me more mindful of the things that i am doing so i dont break it.
is there any special material that a mala should be made out of or not made out of? mine is tigers eye with a figure of buddha instead of a tassel. ive heard that H.H. the Dali Lama has a mala made from tigers eye, but i didnt find that out until after i bought it.
just a few questions for u guys. i really appreciate all the advice that all of you guys have given me over the past few months. cannot begin to describe how much all of you have helped me on my path. thank you all.
be well in peace
