A Buddhist makes prayer with a string of prayer beads on her hands.

Tibetan prayer beads are also an indispensible religious accessory. A thread is used to tie the 108 beads together and it can be worn around the neck or wrist. The common Tibetan Buddhist belief amongst the majority of Tibetan farmers is that, men and women of all ages wear the amulets, such as Buddha, scriptures or 'holy relics pellets', which are encased into exquisite Buddha boxes or leather bags around their neck and waist, in order to receive blessings from the Buddha and to prevent disaster. It has also become an accessory with distinct Tibetan characteristics.
