dzi beads [Jose]

[Guest guest]

Don't take me for my word -- the following is mere assumption that may,

or may not be correct.

 

As far as I'd heard, "Hakka" is a Chinese dialect spoken by natives of

a certain province somewhere in the southern part of China.  I've never

heard of a "Hakka bead" and don't know what it looks like. 

 

However, red is considered a lucky color in Chinese culture. Hence many

Chinese use red stones.  Just assuming here that "Hakka Bead" May Be a

type of red carnelian, red coral or red spinel. 

 

In Taiwan and Japan, red carnelian is also popular. Many are made

into "spiritual bracelets" or malas. A Tibetan form of Buddhism was

brought to these countries aeons ago by a monk who traveled to study it

in Tibet and who gained enlightenment.  The spiritual bracelets and

malas (Buddhist type), are made with a spacer bead (usually siler) in

between every 9 beads of red carnelian, coral or spinel.

 

Would be interested to hear from anyone who might know more, thanks.
