Collection: Onenju

The Onenju, or Ojuzu as some people refer to them, were originally used as counting beads.  But in our Jodo Shinshu tradition, they are a symbol of the 108 bonno (blind passions) that influence our lives.  So the Onenju serves as a way to be mindful of these things as we put our hands together in Gassho (literal meaning is “palms pressed together”).
