Bone malas are prayers beads, traditionally used in Tibetan Buddhism to count mantras and focus meditation, symbolizing impermanence and the transformation of mind. Made from various animal bones, they carry a deep meaning of mortality, serving as a reminder to live mindfully. They are used in spiritual practices, often associated with wrathful deities, to purify the mind and overcome obstacles.
