The 108 beads of the Mala, Korai Peter Stemmann

The wisdom of the Buddhist prayer beads
Korai Peter Stemmann

Malas, prayer beads with 108 beads, have been part of Buddhist philosophy since ancient times.

They have a deep spiritual and philosophical meaning: each of their beads represents an insight on the path to enlightenment.

Experienced Zen practitioner Korai Peter Stemmann brings all these insights to life in entertaining and meaningful lessons – from envy to compassionate joy, from aimlessness to goal realization, and from dominance to appreciation. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to timeless Buddhism, but can also be opened again and again to a random page for an illuminating insight.
