Introduction to Buddhist Chupsel (Mala Counter):
Mala counters are specifically designed tools used to keep track of and count a large number of mantra recitations in various Tibetan and Vajrayana traditions. They offer multiple methods for keeping an accurate count. Themalaa itself serves as a convenient means to organize and track your recitations.
For every complete rotation of themalaa, while reciting a mantra, it's equivalent to counting one hundred mantras. Additionally, there are eight extra beads incorporated into the mala, which act as a kind of "safety zone" to account for any minor counting errors.
Here's how the counting process works: After you finish reciting one hundred mantras (completing one cycle), you move one of the counter beads on one side of your Mala Counter (side A). When you complete ten cycles, which adds up to one thousand mantras, you shift all ten counter beads back to their original positions. Then, you move one of the counter beads on the other side of your Mala Counter (side B). This signifies that you've completed one thousand mantras. By repeating this process multiple times, you can efficiently keep track of and achieve your goal of reciting ten thousand mantras.
