1. 12, 13, 108 What's the meaning of bracelets?

1, 12

12 rosewood symbolizes twelve causes, old age-bitter death after birth, that is, aging death. And all laws are impermanent. To live is to die, and to be ill is to exist in name only. All beings die, but not all people will experience aging (premature death, sudden death), so they die of old age as a whole. From birth to death, there will inevitably be all kinds of sadness and distress, which is the result of one of the future reports. In this way, the twelve causes include the past cause (ignorance and doing something), the present bitter fruit (knowledge, name, color, six entry, touch and acceptance), the present cause (love, take and have) and the future bitter fruit (birth, illness and death). It is a double cause and effect, which is an iron law for the Buddha to explain our life and death.

The latter four realms are the enlightened world of saints, namely, the realm of sound and smell, predestination, bodhisattva and Buddha nature.

Generally speaking, 108 kinds of troubles are actually three kinds and six kinds (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind), and their combination is eighteen kinds.
