Malas are used for meditation and prayer to protect the mind from the poisons of karmically harmful states of mind: anger, hatred (aversion), jealousy, grasping (attachment), ignorance (delusion), pride and greed. Malas usually made from 108-111 beads, plus a guru bead. A mala is used for counting recitations while chanting, or mentally repeating a sacred phrase, aka, mantra for a Deity(names of the Divine or Buddhic levels of mind). If recited correctly, mantra can awaken wisdom, loving kindness and compassion.
