The simplest manual processing method of Buddha beads

A course of making rosary beads and peach stone beads by hand.

Handstrings, rosary beads, etc., all kinds of materials emerge in an endless stream, which is more popular recently. At the beginning of the year, the thumb got tenosynovitis and could not be straightened. The doctor recommended me to play with bracelets. I ran a lot of places and finally got 108. Selection of Carya cathayensis stones: from the perspective of peeling under the tree, olive-shaped stones should not be used, stones with a diameter greater than 15mm should not be used (108 pieces are too long to string together), and those without patterns should not be used.

Saw the steel pipe for drying clothes for 200 mm long and saw it in the middle. Mechanical processing will save a lot of effort and the accuracy will be better than manual processing, but that is much worse.

The emery cloth was sandwiched between two steel pipes, and it was difficult to walk after grinding about five peach stones, so I found a broken board to fix the fixture on it.

The edge of pecan kernel has a "lip" or some are not very round. After repeated rubbing, they are all round until they are round.

My 108 drilled six, so depressed! We need to find six more. Don't drill through each peach pit at once, drill on both sides, and all the holes are cracked when drilling the drill bit and the second hole.

Not counting the three beads, the big one in the middle is called Buddha's head, and one is put in every 27 beads. Beads are larger in diameter than other beads, and long objects can also be put in the beads.

Rosary: rosary is used for counting when chanting Buddha. It is a symbol of merit, Buddha nature, compassion, kindness, auspiciousness, perfection and Buddha heart. Besides reminding yourself not to do bad things, it is also a beautiful decoration.

The highest state is 108 pills, that is, breaking 108 kinds of troubles and proving 108 kinds of infinite samadhi. Samadhi refers to living in a quiet but not scattered state, that is, in a positive definite state.

Anyone can hold on to pearls. There is no basis for saying that a monk can only hang his neck. Some eminent monks and great virtues have specially proposed that everyone can hang around his neck, get infinite blessings and eliminate infinite evils. The rosary is hung in a circle around the neck; If you hold it in your hand, it must be two laps; If you put it on the table, you must put it three times to meet the rules.
