Introduction To Buddhist Chupsel (Mala Counter) :
Mala counters are designed tools used to keep track of and count many mantra recitations in various Tibetan and Vajrayana traditions. They offer multiple methods for maintaining an accurate count. The Mala itself serves as a convenient means to organize and track your recitations.
For every rotation of the Mala, while reciting a mantra, it's equivalent to counting one hundred mantras. Additionally, eight extra beads are incorporated into the Mala, which act as a "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.
