Book Reviews of Dharma Beads: Making and Using Your Own Buddhist Malas (Kit)
Book Review: Two stars is being generous!
Summary: 2 Stars
This book is full of pretty pictures, but that's about it. It lacks any sort of indepth knowledge or teachings about the subject of prayer beads....I would save my money or purchase the book, "Beads of Faith" by Gray Henry and Sussnah Marriot!
I don't recommend this book to anyone unless you really want it! It's a total waste of money.....borrow a copy from your local library!
Summary of Dharma Beads: Making and Using Your Own Buddhist Malas (Kit)
The practice of meditating with Buddhist malas has been a tradition for thousands of years. With so many people searching for spiritual expression and Buddhism being so popular, it's no wonder that a rosary from a 2500 year-old religion has become the hottest trend in contemporary culture. Dharma Beads looks beyond just the hip aspect of wearing Buddhist malas and presents a thoughtful presentation of authentic Tibetan mala traditions and customs. Whatever your spiritual tradition, you can use malas to help you create and maintain a state of quiet reflection -- a cloister of the mind. In addition to all the materials you need to create three Dharma Bead bracelets, author Joanne Arettam has written a wonderfully accessible introduction to the meanings of various types of beads as well as their spiritual meanings and benefits. She writes, "Used meditatively, these beads offer a scenic rest stop on the harried eight-lane highway of life".Beadwork Books
