Paraphernalia - Bits and Bobs
Manage episode 469758367 series 3571666
Note: the next episode, no 44, will be the last of Season 1. Season 2 is in the works!
Buddhism is all about simplicity, isn’t it? Well, no, at least not when it comes to Tibetan style Buddhism. The very essence may be simple, but typical practice makes use of an enormous amount of kit - malas, dorjes, bells, hand-drums large and small, trumpets, vases, conch shells...
As beginners, we may well be tempted to start collecting some of those magical bits and pieces, but if we’re not careful we end up with a lot of clutter on our table, and little idea of what to do with it. Is any of this necessary, and how much of it is even useful?
Mala with counters, dorje and bell
And more:
Words or phrases you might want to look up:
- Mala
- Mala counter strings and clips
