Miscellaneous Odd Bit of Information: The Origin of 108 as a holy number, and the number of beads in the Buddhist MALA (Not a Pali Buddhist practice, other schools of Buddhism use these necklaces made of Sandalwood or Rosewood or Crystal or other materials [including human bones carved into miniature skulls] in counting the breaths and mantra repetition, and divination.) The Three Sense Experiences X The Six Senses = 18 Downbound to the world and Connected to Giving Up = 18 X 2 = 36 Past, Future, and Present (always end up in the present) = 36 X 3 = 108 Practicing Divination via devices is looked down upon by the Pali. This practice, which takes a long time to perfect, is done by developing a "story" for each bead, beginning with its root meaning (e.g., Past Pleasant Sight Downbound to the World = bead # 1). At such a time as a question is asked of one, one is able to enter the realm of the answer by becoming absorbed in the story that relates most closely to the question. |
