Агар

Агар-агар Агар-агар или просто агар, по праву изобретения, – слово малайское. Именно на Востоке впервые заметили, что, если выварить и высушить бурые морские водоросли, получится необычное прозрачное вещество без запаха, вкуса и цвета. Если вещество снова смочить, образуется густой, плотный студень. А если в этот студень добавить сахар или какой-нибудь фруктовый сок, то получается... мармелад.

distracting thoughts during Meditation. As each bead is passed through the
fingers the practitioner recites his or her personal mantra.

The large shaped central bead (3 holed bead) represents Mount Meru,
also known as Mount Kailash. Situated in the Himalayas it is considered by
Tibetans to be "the navel of the world", and is a place of pilgrimage for
Buddhists and Hindus alike.

One should not pass one's fingers over the Meru bead
but turn the mala around and proceed back the other way.
