Now there's something I didn't know! In some sects of buddhism, it is believed that you don't even have to *say* the mantra as you count the bead, the *intention* of the mantra is enough.
There is always SO much to learn! I'm doing a display of malas, tesbihs and rosaries at my Kingdom's Arts and Sciences festival in March and having to pare down my research into something readable and accessible to folks is driving me mad. And then there's the true knowledge that I haven't finished researching this topic and I probably never could!
