Symbolism â—‡ In Tibetan Buddhism, Chitipati are a pair of dancing skeletons, revered as Lords of the Cemetery. They are a powerful reminder of impermanence and the importance of focusing on spiritual practice. â—‡ These counter beads are an essential part of a mala, used by practitioners to keep a tally of their mantra recitations. They are a practical and symbolic tool for anyone dedicated to their practice.
For You â—‡ This pair of counters would be a great addition to a personal mala or a unique piece for a collector who appreciates authentic spiritual items. If you’d like us to turn them into a custom piece of jewelry for you, just let us know.
