Other folks may have a different take on this question.
My answer is that some people who meditate with beads, a Mala or other type of meditation/prayer beads believe that their beads can absorb a type of energy from the user (and their rituals). There is positive and not so positive energies in the world. If someone else handles the "beads", they can absorb energy when handled (sometimes less than positive energy).
Another way of looking at it is Just like keeping our hands clean by washing them (particularly after sneezing), we want to keep our "beads" clean of outside energy. Some people actually cleanse their beads (not done by traditional washing).
Yes. It can be used in private meditation (with rosary beads as accompaniment), or in a group.
Several religions use prayer beads similar to the rosary. In Buddhism, mala beads are used for counting recitations of mantras during meditation. Hinduism employs japa malas, which serve a similar purpose in repeating prayers and affirmations. Additionally, Sikhism utilizes a string of beads called a "mala" for reciting prayers and maintaining focus during meditation.
Rosary beads are primarily used by Catholics for reciting prayers, particularly the Rosary. They help keep track of the prayers being said, with each bead representing a specific prayer or meditation. Some devout Catholics also use rosary beads for meditation and reflection on the life of Jesus and the Virgin Mary.
Various religions use prayer beads, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. In Buddhism, mala beads are often used to count mantras during meditation. In Islam, misbaha or tasbih beads are used for dhikr, the remembrance of God. Additionally, in Christianity, rosaries are used to aid in prayer, particularly in Catholic traditions.
There is no requirement for Buddhists to wear beads. Some Buddhists use beads in a similar way way as Catholics use rosaries to keep track of the number of repetitions of mantras that they have said. Many buddhists use prayer beads (or malas) as a means of counting mantras, the chanting of the name Buddha, or the names of important Boddhisvattas -- which is often done in meditation. Today beads are mostly worn as an emblem of belief and dedication to Buddhism.
The symbol on wooden Chinese prayer beads, often referred to as "Bodhi beads," represents spiritual awakening and enlightenment in Buddhism. These beads are typically used in meditation practices, helping practitioners keep track of their chants or mantras. The wood itself, often from the Bodhi tree, is significant as it is believed that the Buddha attained enlightenment under this tree. Overall, the beads serve as a tool for mindfulness and connection to spiritual tradition.
