LEARN MORE
1. Water Buffalo Bone
Tibetan nomadic life is hard, and in the cold, there is little to eat. Water buffalo is amain staple of the Tibetan diet and when an animal is used for food nothing is wasted.
2. Impermanence
Bone jewelry is usually worn to remind yourself of the impermanence of life. In Buddhism, it is believed that attachment is the root of suffering. And since nothing in life is permanent, being aware of the fact will reduce suffering.
3. Guru Bead
There is also a head bead, one that is larger than the others, and it is often called a “guru bead.” Some believe that this bead has a special significance, as representing one’s guru, for example, but very practically, this bead is the starting point for the mantras, and is not counted among the 108 total.
