Why do rosaries use 108 beads? Origin of the rosary It is not only Buddhism that refers to the rosary and instructs the use of it to gain values ​​on the path of practice. One can see that the Buddhist recitation of the rosary is very close to Brahmanism's method of reciting the rosary during prayer, a very popular way of praying for Brahmin. In addition, the Siva sect also used a type of seed called rudrāka to thread the rosary. Legend has it that, once this god looked at the world, seeing them living in extreme suffering and could not say all, so he had painfully dripped tears down, these tears grew into trees and produced crimson seeds. They were made into rosaries to pray in commemoration of the compassionate heart of Siva. That bead is the diamond that we still use today to make the rosary. In the Indian conception, immortality and rudrāka are both sacred seeds, capable of eliminating ghosts. This is probably partly due to their medicinal properties, such as deathless death, also known as bodhicitta, which is a heat treatment, phlegm, antiseptic ... However, in the Buddhist scriptures, the origins of the rosary and the recitation of the rosary when reciting the Buddha's name are mostly based on the Buddha's instruction to King Ba Luu Ly as recorded in the Suttas. Death. At one time, the Buddha and his congregation traveled in the Mount Ky Xa Quat (Grdhrakùta), the state of La Tue Ky (Ràjagrha), the king of that time was named Ba Luu Ly, sending a messenger. come to the Buddha's place to ask the Blessed One to especially bring mercy, for the weak dharma to be able to practice easily and in the future to leave all suffering. The Buddha told the messenger to tell the king that: if the king wants to eliminate afflictions, the karmic retribution should string a string of 108 seeds with the seeds of the tree and often bring him; when walking, sitting, when lying down, we should be mindful, do not disperse the mind, claim the title: Buddha, Dharma, Sangha every time, It is not only Buddhism that refers to the rosary and guides the use of it to gain values ​​on the path of practice. It is not only Buddhism that refers to the rosary and guides the use of it to gain values ​​on the path of practice. Just like that, one after another, one after another, like: ten seeds, twenty seeds, a hundred seeds, a thousand seeds, up to a hundred thousand seeds. If the time is enough for twenty thousand turns, but the body and mind do not disperse, there are no obstructions, the time when this body is released is born to the third world of Diem. Up there, y, really natural, often blissful. If the time is enough for one hundred thousand turns, it will completely eliminate the one hundred and eight karma, the new one is called the witness of Tu-Da-Hoan (upstream of life and death), towards Nirvana, completely rid of the root brain and function are superior results. Rosary in Buddhism was born from there. Monks often carry with them a rosary as a treasure, an important dharma to support them on their way of studying Buddhism. Thus, it can be seen that, although in the ancient cultural traditions of India and in other civilizations of humanity, the necklace has long existed and associated with each social community it has a symbolic meaning. or different aesthetic values. But with Buddhism, the rosary is mentioned as the role of the means, as the dharma, as a tool to support the practice of attaining enlightenment. The number of beads According to the above mentioned Buddhist rosary, the Buddhist rosary consists of 108 seeds, this number is similar to other sects in India. Later, however, for the convenience of the rituals, the rosaries were strung with smaller numbers, such as 54, 27 or 36, 18 beads. This number 108 represents 108 defilements including 88 or, 10 quarters or and 10 million. In addition, the number 108 can be explained in many other ways. It was found that the number of particles is usually equal to the number of objects recited, in reciting the name of Buddha there are 108 titles, in Hinduism there are 108 collections of Vakras. 108 = 6x3x2x3, that is 6 objects (rupa, bar, flavor, taste, contact and dhamma) x 3 times (past, present and relent) x 2 states of mind (impurity and purity) x 3 states of life (like, dislike and neutral). 108 is also the number 11 x 22 x 33 = 1 x 4 x 27. In the pentagram the offset angle created by two intersecting edges is 1080. It is said that there are 108 dances in India. In our body there are 108 chakras. Astrologers claim that the sun's diameter is 108 times as large as that of the earth. In number 108, the number 1 represents unity, that is, best; number 8 is infinity, ie singular; zero is intermediate, is the middle way with the meaning of emptiness, emptiness. Ultimately, the number 108 is interpreted from many different angles, and it is clear that it has a very important symbolic meaning in Indian conception. To some extent, it can be said that this 108 is just as miraculous as the PHI (φ) index of 1,618 in Greek tradition. 5 things to know about rosaries Based on the total dharma s that it represents according to the Buddhist conception, the use of the rosary with different number of particles, its symbolic meaning also has differences.

According to the Sutra of the Noble Phantasm of the Book of Chau Cong Duc, and according to the Vajrayana Sutra of Du Gia Niem Chau, there is a record of disagreement, the rosaries have the following types: - Kinh Moc Hoan Tu base teaches 108 beads. - Kinh Da Ra Ni Volume 2 works Chau Phap General, there are 4 kinds of strings: 108 seeds, 54 beads, 42 seeds, 21 seeds. - The Kinh Do Chau Cong Duc also states four kinds of strings, that is, the 108-grain type, the 54-grain type, the 27-grain type, and the 14-grain type. - Vajrayana Sutra Du Gia Niem Chau takes 1,080 beads as the superlative sequence, stringing 108 as the ultimate sequence, string 54 as the middle chain, and 27 for the lower order. - Quality Book Chau Nghi Tac in the text of the Thu Nghi Fund said that: the upper sequence is 108 particles, the middle chain is 54, the lower one is 27, the ultimate chain is 1,080. Among the beads with the above number of beads, the 108 beads sequence is the most common. In the rosary there is a particle called Sumeru or Meru, we often call it the Tu di or the Amitabha seed, which is the 109th particle, which is the junction of the circle. According to the rite, when reciting, do not pass this seed, next time it comes back again, as in the Vajra Sutra the yogis chantra has the saying: "The middle particle represents the Buddha Amitabha, don't pass , committing crimes of Vietnamese law ”.
