a japa mala, or mala, is a set of prayer beads popular in India and Tibet, commonly made from 108 beads. it is used to keep count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra.
it is traditional of Tibetan Buddhism to recite mantras 108 times. many malas have 108 beads, or are also made smaller but are divided into 108 to come up with 27 and 54 bead malas.
each time you end a round, you reach the stop bead on top. that helps you keep track of how many times you have gone around.
