Bone Japa Mala

Bone is a traditional material used in malas in both Nepal and Tibet. Bone signifies strength and is said to amplify prana (life force energy.) They are to remind the meditator of their mortality.

Bone malas are generally used when doing wrathful practices, such as Mahakala or Vajrakilaya. That's because these deities wear bone ornaments as a reminder of our mortality and the shortness of life. Typically a mala is used to count mantra repetitions during a sadhana practice.
