Vintage Buddhist Prayer Beads - Buddhism Japanese Mala

Posted on August 19, 2008 in Perfect touch wedding

DescriptionBeautiful string of vintage Buddhist mala prayer beads or shozoiki jyu-zu as they are called in Japanese. Prayer beads were first introduced into Japan along with Buddhism during the 6th century. The 1848 woodblock print image included below depicts the famous kabuki actor Okawa Hashizo as the priest Saigyo standing before Mt. Fuji with a string of prayer beads in his left hand. Japanese prayer beads are used to count devotions and are always carried by Buddhist priests and frequently by lay Buddhists at weddings, funerals and other ceremonial occasions. Japanese tea houses may also sometimes have a string of prayer beads hanging from the wall as a sign of reverence. Many Japanese prayer beads are sanctified by being blessed by a priest over a cloud of incense.About the Listed ItemThis vintage double strand of Buddhist prayer beads is less than 40 years old. The beads are made of wood though the guru and marker beads are clear resin and the entire piece is in good condition with some marks and scratches. Please read below to learn more about the history and function of Buddhist prayer beads.Size:Length of each loop (approximate): 21.1 inches (54 centimeters)Weight: 2.3 ounces (67 grams)More about Buddhist Prayer BeadsBuddhist prayer beads also known as mala are similar in form and function to worry beads associated with many religions. Mala are thought to have originated in India around 500 BC as a counting aid for religious pupils who were required to repeat their prayers a specific number of times but who were unable to count. Mala are used such that one prayer or mantra is recited for each bead. The counting starts with the guru bead (bead with tassel) which is thought to represent the Buddha and proceeds all the way around the string. When the guru bead is again encountered the counting may then continue in the opposite direction. The bead count is commonly interrupted in only two places (besides the guru bead) indicated by slightly smaller beads which are thought to represent mid-level Buddhas and humans on the verge of enlightenment. Mala, like worry beads the world over, are commonly carried by religious clergy and devoted believers. The beads are thought to help individuals seeking spiritual focus and are often cited as a source of comfort and peace by those who use them regularly.item code: R3S2-0004427ship code: L1650 Author: theoldtokaido Keywords: Vintage Buddhist Prayer Beads Buddhism Japanese Mala Japan Tokaido Softypapa Added: August 13, 2008

Seinfeld George Starts Smoking

Posted on July 07, 2008 in Perfect day wedding

"Seinfeld"The Invitations (1996)George and Susan go shopping for wedding invitations and George decides to buy a cheap brand. Meanwhile, Kramer tells Jerry that the bank will offer anyone $100 if they are not greeted with a "hello" by a teller when they enter the building. Jerry and Elaine realize that once George gets married, it will just be them and Kramer. However, Elaine tells Jerry that she's tired of being single and will probably leave "the group" after George gets married. As Jerry imagines a life with just him and Kramer, he is nearly hit by a car, but is saved by Jeannie Steinman (Janeane Garofalo), a woman who he discovers to be a lot like him. They both eat a lot of cereal, even at restaurants, have the same initials J.S., and enjoy reading Superman and Supergirl comic books.Elaine wants to have a part in George's wedding, but Susan says no. Kramer, who was going to be an usher, is also told no after he calls Susan "Lily" when he bumps into her and George walking in the street. George can't believe he is actually going to go through with the wedding and desperately wants to find a way out of it without confronting Susan. Elaine suggests he try smoking in front of her, since she hates it. However, it doesn't work when George gets sick from the cigarettes. Kramer suggests a prenuptial agreement, but when George tries this, Susan laughs it off because she is wealthy and he is not. George realizes he is stuck.Kramer goes to the bank and wants $100 after the teller says "Hey" instead of "Hello." He and the manager settle for $20 since he got a greeting that started with an "H". Jerry proposes to Jeannie and she accepts. He tells George that they are getting married on September 21 and that he kept his side of the pact that they originally made in the Season 7 opener, "The Engagement." Kramer, who originally didn't like Jeannie because she was too much like Jerry, has a change of heart and congratulates him, telling him he'll get to like her. Jerry starts having doubts.George goes out as Susan stays home to get the invitations ready. As she is licking the envelopes, she notices they taste funny. The episode later cuts to a more worn-out Susan continuing to lick envelopes and finally passing out. George arrives home and finds her collapsed on the couch. He, Kramer, Jerry and Elaine all meet up at the hospital, where George is told by the doctor that Susan has died. The cause: toxic glue, as the doctor puts it, commonly found on cheap envelopes. He tells his friends, and they accept it and go to the coffee shop. Jerry, however, is now in George's role as the fiance who made the mistake of proposing before thinking. Now single again, George tries once more to start a relationship with Marisa Tomei, who is no longer interested after George says his weekend is wide open hours after Susan's funeral.
