Meaning and BENEFIT of beads in Buddhism



Dharma Discussion up.

Question: Bhante there is little question I am innocent of what the benefits of prayer beads? Does every grain of which included prayer beads could protect and bless us when he was taken out of the house? thank Bhante Sudhammacaro, please enlightenment.

Answer Bhante Sudhammacaro: More prayer beads used by the Mahayana and Vajrayana / Tibetan, the reason this genre aim to achieve the level of Buddha.So they could be likened to travel very far, and many temptations, obstacles, and exhausting. Mahayana Buddhism and Tibetan are also likely to develop Metta and Bodhicitta, then there is the Mantra: Om-Mani-Pedme-Hum, etc., whose words are short for easy and quick to remember when using prayer beads. 

While the flow Therawada; Rarely using beads, the reason their goals shorter just reach Arhat. The method is also simple: Sila, Samadhi and Panya. However, the flow Therawada does not mean there can not and do not use prayer beads, in India, Sri Lanka and Thailand some of them also use prayer beads in the behavior of meditation known as Bud - dho, etc.. When observed: Using more precise beads for people with super-active mind.

According to Bhante: Although rarely used Tasbih Threwada flow, but do not be fanatical about Tasbih objects, saying the other corner flow. Therefore, to achieve Arahanthood-was not easy, remember YA Ananda who can remember all the contents of the sermon the Buddha, and like to go wherever to go.
However, YAAnanda can not reach Arhat until the Buddha's death.This indicates that the person to reach Arhat does not mean to expert Dharma and memorize all the contents of the Tipitaka. Not only experts argue Dahrma, also not an expert sky-high Dharma theory, then that person can quickly reach Arhat.
Most importantly, we must try to be good and right according to the Dharma, it just was not too grandiose ambitions Arhat, but fanatical behavior even Hypocrisy is not commendable. There's advice: If you are not able to practice meditation high, it would be nice if it did not intend evil with thoughts, words, and do it to other people and all creatures.

Dharma is not a religion like Buddhism in general Dharma is not a religion like Buddhism in general. Dharma is the Science of life to achieve inner happiness is born today or the next life. The reason, does not teach the Dharma Adi Counsel asked the creature in all things, because that way there is never an accurate proof. Examples of people pray to the creature ate Adi's Counsel asked whether all of a sudden the food came directly from heaven? Similarly'm rich, get cured, have survived all Adi Counsel asked the creature, but the fact of the sick go to the doctor can be cured after taking medication, the business capital with persistent, tenacious, a whole new can be rich, not the results beg the Adi creature power. Instead of people pray for the Being Adi Authorization lest any accident and natural disaster, do not have war. But the evidence of natural disasters, calamities and wars still continue to occur even more exciting look at the war in Iraq, Pelestina-Israeli war, in the Moluccas, Ambon, in fact they are all devout and prayed to Adi Counsel asked for a peaceful creature. I just write the facts and reality to awaken people who want to get ahead in life. "
Sabbe satta bhawantu sukhitatta. May all live happily.

Greetings of peace and happiness from afar .. Bhikkhu Sudhammacaro
