The number 108 is considered a sacred number in traditions such as Buddhism & Hinduism. Buddhist prayer beads or Malas are a traditional tool used to count the number of times a mantra is recited, breaths while meditating, counting prostrations, or the repetitions of a buddha's name. Still used by many yogis today, Malas are used to reciting mantras while practicing meditation. Other people wear mala beads today as a symbol and reminder of their own journey, whatever it may be.
Since ancient times, the lotus flower has been a respected symbol of purity, beauty, and rebirth. It has been hailed as a representation of how difficulties and trials can bring forth a majestic transformation in a person as he or she is honed and molded into the beauty they are today.
Lotus is symbolic of purity of the body, speech, and mind as while rooted in the mud, its flowers blossom on long stalks as if floating above the muddy waters of attachment and desire. It is also symbolic of detachment as drops of water easily slide off its petals.
The Lotus Flower grows up through the dark and out into the light of the sun. Let your lotus flower mala be a reminder of the incredible beauty that can come from change. Grow and believe!
