  • What to do when your bracelet or prayer beads break suddenly

I have a reminder: Whether it is a mala bracelet or a string of prayer beads, you should kneel down to chant if it breaks naturally. This is a reminder. Usually, if your bracelet breaks and all the beads fall on the floor, some misfortune is going to happen. If you are close to a meditation center, you should go right away to mitigate it.

So if you wear bracelets or jewelry, you had better check the string of your bracelet every 6 months. It will be safer for your bracelet. The bracelet could break due to natural wearing out or as a signal of misfortune; it is hard to tell by yourself.

Here is my advice: Before you wear it, you should tug gently to check it. Usually, the string of the bracelet has an elastic rubber band. If it is heated up, or if it is eroded by your shampoo, it might break easily. You need to check it before you wear it. The string inside the bracelet is crucial. If the bracelet breaks by itself, you need to generate merits to make up for it.
