Three Jewels Clip (Mala Counter, Nepal)

This Tibetan-style mantra counter is designed to be used with malas or prayer beads, helping practitioners keep count of their mantra recitations and accumulations. In certain Vajrayana practices, practitioners may commit to accumulating large numbers of mantras—such as 10,000, 100,000, or even a million—making a mantra counter essential for tracking progress and maintaining focus.

There are two traditional types of mantra counters: one with a pair of tassels (each containing 10 beads, with a mini vajra on one and a mini bell on the other) and one that is a clip style. This clip-style counter is specifically used for tracking 10,000s of recitations, making it ideal for advanced practitioners who are accumulating large numbers of mantras.

Symbolism & Meaning

Mantra counters are used to help practitioners focus and maintain a steady rhythm in their recitations. The vajra symbolizes indestructibility and spiritual power, while the bell represents wisdom. Together, they support the practitioner's intention to accumulate mantras with clarity and focus.
