Ben GillamWhile you might first think of Catholicism when you hear the word “rosary”, it is also an important object in Tibetan Buddhism. The Buddhist rosary consists of 108 beads, each representing the various worldly desires and afflictions that humans experience. By rolling the beads in their fingers and moving from one bead to the next, it helps to focus the mind, deepen one's spiritual connection and cultivate mindfulness and peace.
