Gift-giving occasions: religious festivals, prayers from relatives and friends, and gifts between teachers and students, conveying the wish of "good thoughts accompanying you, peace and prosperity".

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning: Wipe the beads with a clean, soft cloth. For wood/Bodhi beads, you can lightly wipe them with a small amount of olive oil (avoid using too much). For jade/agate beads, lightly wipe them with water and then dry them.
Maintenance: Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and humid environments to prevent the beads from cracking and fading; avoid contact with chemicals (perfume, disinfectant).
Contraindications: Avoid contact with blood or oil while wearing; it is recommended to clean your hands before touching; do not lend it to others for extended periods to avoid energy interference.
Handling: Replace the beaded cord promptly when it is worn out, and replace any broken beads; discarded prayer beads should not be thrown away casually, but wrapped in red cloth and sent to a temple or buried in sacred soil.
