Dharma Beads: Making and Using Your Own Buddhist Malas [With 3 Head & 3 Crown & 6 Separator & Red Elastic and 27 Carnelian, Tiger's Eye, & Sandalwood

Really fun to put together and the book has a ton of information regarding the beads and the functions.

I love this book. It has beads enough to make 3 wrist malas.I'm getting more beads to make wrist malas for my friends.

Contrary to some of the other reviewers, I've really enjoyed this kit. Certainly, the beads that are included are not the gorgeous malas that practicing Buddhists would be looking for, but I can't tell you how many complements I've received on the mala that I've made with the kit. Putting together the malas was simple, fun, and the book that came with the kit gave a nice background to the use of prayer beads in several religious backgrounds. If you're looking for an interesting kit with Buddhist influences but a pop cultural flavor, I would recommend it.
