[QUOTE="Aznathalie, post: 4325920, member: 20012"]2 beads, I only know this, but it seems to me that there are more than 108. Most often, Buddhist rosary has 108 grains, but rosary with a different number of beads can also be used, usually a divisor of 108: 54, 36, 27, 18 or 21. Prayer beads with 108 grains often have pendant separators after the 36th and 72nd beads (or different from other 36 and 72 beads).[/QUOTE]
