Traditionally, there are 108 beads on a strand of Buddhist mala or
prayer beads. The origin of is the sacred number related astrologically to the
12 astrological houses, multiplied by the 9 planets in our solar system. This
number is the Buddhist mala or prayer beads significant because it represents
the number of mental conditions or sinful desires that one must overcome to
reach enlightenment or nirvana. Monks usually have mala or prayer beads with
108 beads, where as a lay person may have a strand numbering in 30 or 40 beads.

person's distance traveled on the path to enlightenment. Commercial sellers of
mala prayer beads have also suggested that individuals just beginning this
prayer ritual begin with a shorter strand of beads. Just as variety exists for
the number of beads, variety exists for the style, color, and material
composition. Differences in the popularity and use of mala beads also exist
cross-culturally. Typically, monks' mala prayer beads are made of wood from the
Bodhi tree. In Tibet, mala strands often contain parts of semi-precious stones.
In this culture, the most valued strands are made of bones of holy men or
lamas. Typically, there are 108 beads divided by 3 beads. The end pieces
on these strands are “dorje” (a thunderbolt) and “Drilbu” (the bell). These end
pieces represent the Three Jewels, or Buddha, the doctrine, and
