108 stone Tibetan Mala's 

Buddhist prayer beads or malas (Sanskritmālā "garland"[1]) are a traditional tool used to count the number of times a mantra is recited, breaths while meditating, counting prostrations, or the repetitions of a buddha's name. They are similar to other forms of prayer beads used in various world religions and therefore the term "Buddhist rosary" also appears.
Conventional Buddhist tradition counts the beads at 108, signifying the mortal desires of mankind. The number is attributed to the Mokugenji Sutra wherein Shakyamuni Buddha instructed King Virudhaka to make such beads and recite the Three Jewels of Buddhism. In later years, various Buddhist sects would either retain the number of beads, or divide them into consecutive twos, fours, for brevity or informality. A decorative tassel is sometimes attached to the beads, flanked by talismans or amulets depending on one's local tradition. Because prayer beads are often painted in pigment, various traditional schools attribute a consecration ritual by the Sangha to the beads, to "open the eyes" for the purpose of achieving Enlightenment unique to the Karma of each believer.

NEW STYLES!!! SHOP HERE!


Is it Really Time for the Holidays.....

It seems like only yesterday we were flat on our backs sucking up the suns rays and now I'm in the midst of planning for our Holiday Sales.  To be on the other end of the retail sale can be just as stressful as not missing out on those huge discounts you planned out for weeks prior to Black Friday.  Its the biggest digital sales day for B.Birdwatcher and I usually like to do justice by giving my shoppers a great thank you for their continued support during the year. So...I'm off to figure out this year's promotion....know this.... it will be EPIC
