When you hear the phrase Tibetan beads,Tibetan Beads  For Prayers and Meditation and Jewelry Articles the first thing that comes to your mind is a rosary or mala used by Tibetan Buddhists, Hindus and many other religions to count their mantras.  A mantra refers to the chants, meditations and prayers recited.  The number of Tibetan beads in a Buddhist rosary can be 108 in longer strands and worn around the neck, or 21 beads worn around the wrist. Whether the number is 108 or 21, the mala is used in a similar manner.

One Tibetan bead represents one mantra.  You start with the bead that is next to the guru bead.  Usually, the guru bead is a more decorative and also larger bead in the rosary.
