It also means that each of the ten dharma circles has 108 kinds of troubles, which adds up to 108 kinds of troubles. The ten dharma realms include six mysterious realms, namely hell, hungry ghost, beast, shura, earth and heaven, and are the six divisions in the wheel of karma. The last four realms are the enlightened world of saints, that is, the realm of sound and smell, predestination, bodhisattva and Buddha.

Another meaning of the name of the Buddha bead is: punish, that is, not punish life. Whether you become a monk at home or not, the first commandment in Buddhism is not to kill. Each of us doesn't want to lose our own life, pushing ourselves and others, and so does every living being.

The so-called heaven has the virtue of good life. Buddhism emphasizes this point even more, emphasizing that those who abstain from killing and nursing students must live a long and healthy life. Wearing beads on your body or holding them in your hand is also a constant reminder to cherish life.

Like Buddhism, beads come from India. Indians have the custom of wrapping wreaths since ancient times, and later they evolved into using beads. However, Buddhism did not use beads at first. The earliest record was about the second century AD, and Buddhism came into being more than 500 years before BC. China began to record the use of beads in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and there were also sculptures when carving Buddha statues.
