Forgiveness – Why should I forgive?

As kids, we generally learn that forgiveness is just a word that you say. When you forgive, it’s like letting the other person off the hook. They say they’re sorry and you hug and make up. But what does that really do? Do we feel differently? Does that make the hurt go away? Generally not. What really happens is we take that anger and we hide it, because we are not “supposed” to feel it anymore. We stuff the hurt, anger and resentment down as far as we can and try to move on in our “normal” lives.

The History of Prayer Beads in Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam

Nobody is certain when people began using prayer beads, but they’ve been employed in almost all religions for thousands of years. Prayer beads are used by Buddhists, Hindus, Christians, Muslims and many other religions. One reason for using prayer beads is that they allow people to keep track of the number of prayers recited when they’re doing repetitions. An example of this in Buddhism is when practitioners are reciting mantras, such as the Om Mani Padme Hum (Sanskrit) or Om Mani Peme Hung (Tibetan).
