The central location of Shingon Shu is Mount Koya in Wakayama Prefecture. Additionally, Shingon Shu is renowned for the Shikoku Pilgrimage (Shikoku Hachijuhakkasho), which involves visiting 88 sacred sites on the island of Shikoku. Many followers undertake this pilgrimage seeking spiritual purification and enlightenment. Shingon Shu is known for its profound teachings and practices, making it one of the long-standing Buddhist sects in Japan. Shingon Buddhist prayer beads typically have 108 beads representing the 108 earthly desires. They often have two additional beads called "parent beads" that mark the end of the loop. A notable feature is the use of intricate tassels, which are often found at the ends of the beads. π¨ CHECKOUT π¨ Please check your address before paying because we can ONLY ship to addresses that are entered before placing the order. π¨ SHIPPING π¨ Packages usually leave our warehouse within 10 days of payment.
