I'm a 18 year old Mahayana-Vajrayana formal buddhist practitioner and I really recommend studying before taking that decision, it musn't be taken so lightly :P For myself, I started studying and investigating about the topic at 13 years old, first started with things as Nietzsche hahahaha and then met some intersting people along the way...My e-mail is alfonso.pizarro.r (at) gmail.com if you are intersted or want to ask anything..<br /> <br /> Oh and thx for the instructions... and it depends on the practice if it's important to make a pasue before pasing the bead... for example in Shamata you pass it when you finished a full cycle of breathing, no pauses. In Vajra Sattva one for each complete prayer and sometimes you are passing more than 2 per second if you repeat very fast the short mantra of Vajra Sattva (Om Vajra Sattva Hung)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Bye!<br /> <br /> Om mani padme Hung @Kimberly:
