RE: Meaning Of The Hand Performance Of The Monks In The Ritual

in #travel7 years ago

I don't think I'll be going to the temple very soon, but I do appreciate the depth of their belief and dedication.
Hand gestures and body gestures are important parts of human expression (as well as of other animals in nature), and I assume it makes sense that gestures are an integral part of a prayer or a ritual.
Can you tell me, though, what their bracelets (malas, is it?) are supposed to do in their belief and specifically in this ritual? I've been seeing those bracelets a lot, lately.
