Buddhist Mala
Chenrezig ThangkaChenrezig is a form of Avalokiteshvara. Chenrezig is also known as the Buddha of Compassion or 4 armed Avalokiteshvara. Of all the deities in Mahayana Buddhism, the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, Chenrezig, is one of the most celebrated. He is the lord endowed with finish illumination, who refrains from entering the blissful state of nirvana to stay here under and save the creatures of the earth. This devotion to the salvation of others emphasizes the unfathomed compassionateness this bodhisattva represents. In the Tibetan Buddhist pantheon of enlightened beings, Chenrezig, Avalokiteshvara, is famous as the embodiment of the compassionateness of all the Buddhas, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Avalokiteshvara, Chenrezig, is visualized in galore forms, with respective numbers of faces and arms, and respective colors and ornaments. The radiant white Buddha form representing purity and power of the enlightened mind's loving graciousness and compassionateness is illustrated above and at the very top of this page. He sits on a lotus and the flat disc of the moon, with another moon disk behind him, reflecting his total purity. Two of his four arms are joined in the prayer position keeping the wish fulfilling gem. In his other left hand he holds a lotus flower and in his other right hand, a crystal mala (rosary), which he is using to count the repetitions of his mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, Hail to the Jewel in the Lotus, which liberates all beings from suffering. He wears the silks and embellishments of a Bodhisattva, representing all his particular qualities, and the soft skin of an antelope over his shoulder, symbolizing his finish freedom from violence. He smiles with deep understanding, love and compassionateness as his eyes look upon all beings. The four arms and hands signify the four immeasurable: immeasurable loving kindness, immeasurable compassion, immeasurable joy, and immeasurable equanimity. Chenrezig, the Bodhisattva of Boundless Compassion, is the very embodiment and realization of the four immeasurable. The four immeasurable are the vehicles through which Chenrezig gains beings. "The introductory two, the inner arms, have palms joined at the heart, keeping a sky-blue, and wish fulfilling jewel." This symbolizes that in whatsoever way Chenrezig manifests to gain beings, the quality of Chenrezig's mind is never distinguished from the all pervasive primordial wisdom. In the outer right hand, Chenrezig is keeping crystal beads and moving them the way we use a mala to count mantras. This symbolizes that there is not one moment when Chenrezig does not gain beings. Like the steady motion of counting the beads, Chenrezig is continuously benefiting sentient beings and turning the wheel of enlightened activity. In the outer left hand, Chenrezig holds a lotus flower. This symbolizes that in benefiting sentient beings, Chenrezig manifests in whatsoever forms are necessary in accordance with the mental capacities, circumstances, and aptitudes of sentient beings. Chenrezig may appear in any of the dissimilar realms, such as the hell realm or the hungry ghost realm. However Chenrezig may appear, he remains free from any of the samsaric stains of the respective realms, the way a lotus flower growing in a swamp appears free of the stain of the mud. The left hand of Chenrezig, keeping the flower, symbolizes that stainlessness. All the respective features of this effigy have significant connections to the fantasti calibers of Chenrezig, and by focusing on these details as we visualize the effigy in the meditation, we may gradually arouse our own cognizance of those same calibers in ourselves.

Buddhists: How Does The Process of Blessing Mala Beads Work? The reason I ask is because I found a establishment that offers handmade Mala beads, blessed and made by Buddhist Nuns. I'm unfamiliar with Buddhist customs and would like to know how Buddhists bless Mala beads. Thanks Tibetan Nuns Project http://tnp.org/ Thank you for yours answers. I've never heard of this. I suppose very spiritual nuns pray, meditate, for the beads to become spiritual? I don't genuinely know. I am a Buddhist, but I am very skeptical in regards to these beads. |
