The mala, trengwa, in Tibetan is the Buddhist rosary, the object from which the monk (even the lay practitioner) almost never separates, holding it in his hand or wrapping it around his wrist. The mala is first of all a utilitarian object: it serves as a tactile support for the recitation of mantras, at the same time as it is used to count them if one has decided to repeat a defined number. The mala is made up of 108 strung beads, which justifies its name, since it simply means "garland" (of beads). The different components each have a precise symbolic meaning: The large pearl (or Buddha's head) which closes the loop represents the knowledge of emptiness. The small cone above it is the mark of emptiness itself.
