The mala is primarily used to count repeated mantras, serving the same purpose as a rosary.

Beads made from semi-precious stones, pearls, plant seeds, or Bodhi wood can serve various purposes, such as counting any type of mantra or other prayers, prostrations, circumambulations, and so on. The cord is the same for every mala and should be made of nine threads, symbolizing Vajradhara Buddha and the eight Bodhisattvas.

The largest bead at the end signifies wisdom and the realization of absolute emptiness, and the cylindrical bead above the largest bead symbolizes emptiness itself. Together, they symbolize triumph over all adversaries.

The Mala with 108 beads is used while reciting or chanting mantras. 108 is the ideal number for any purpose.

It is important that our thoughts are pure while we recite or chant the mantra. The mantra is the practical use of secret forces that can help us progress. A mantra is understood as a predetermined sequence of syllables. The effect is achieved by repeating the mantra over and over again; this becomes deeper as you continue to recite it. The sound produced while reciting it is essential.

This sound creates a unique spiritual imprint on the person who is reciting it. It is said that a mantra is like a human being; there are various stages to go through before reaching the final effect, which is the "Purification of mental impressions.” There are various mantras with an intrinsic potential; this can only be personally transferred from the Master to the initiate. These are the so-called "Siddha Mantras.” Some malas have two clips with images of the Vajra and Bell to keep count of the mantra rosaries recited.

In Buddhism, the symbolic meaning of these images is "method and wisdom, the male and female principles.” Animal bone represents the transitional state of all beings.

Physical benefits

It seems that agate not only protects against “curses” or other forms of negative energy sent toward the person who uses it. It actually serves as a protective layer that stabilizes and harmonizes every single organ and cell in the body.

It has a particularly protective action toward pregnant women. It is also indicated for conjunctivitis and gastrointestinal problems.

Psychic and mental benefits

At a mental level, this volcanic stone offers a sense of security and protection that you will find difficult to find in other stones. The role that has been attributed to it for centuries is precisely this, accompanied by the ability to make the person who uses it more confident in their abilities.

If rock crystal is also present within it—both belonging to the quartz family and united due to the particular creation process in volcanic rocks—agate will help you develop better memory. In crystal therapy, agate is also used with the aim of bringing memories of past lives to the surface.

Despite this, agate should not be taken as a stone that works purely on the abstract plane. Quite the opposite. It actually promotes the rational and practical part of the person who uses it, leading them to work toward the goals they have set. Like all stones belonging to the trigonal crystal system, agate quartz aims at the essential, to quickly untangle complicated situations.

Spiritual benefits

How many times do you find yourself undecided about what your real goal is, in the short or long term? And feeling frustrated and dissatisfied with what you have? Agate is an extraordinary stone because it can help you find the deepest meaning of yourself, simply by looking inside your spirit.

However, agate immediately seeks the bottom line and does not accept excuses. It will lead you to become aware of your faults and the mistakes you have made, but will make them points of reflection for self-improvement.
