<![CDATA[<div>Held in the hands a Buddhist would say a prayer on each bead rotating through them all while reciting a chant. Each jade bead depicts one of the 18 Luóhàn (罗汉) or Arhats of the Buddhist faith, having achieved the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism. These eighteen monks represent Buddha's disciples, who had been charged with protecting the faith. In popular thought, arhats often have supernatural abilities. Unsure of the exact age of these beads but they are very interesting.
