HOW TO MAKE A THREE TENETS MALA
 
 The Three Tenet Mala can be a bracelet or necklace, depending on the size beads you choose.
 
You will need:
 
5 large beads.
They could be the same; they could also be different from each other, with each having a different feel. What does Not Knowing feel like to you? What does it look like? What about Bearing Witness?
 
5 small beads.
If you wish you could get spacer beads to put between each bead, but this is not necessary.
 
String and needle for threading.
 You can also go to a bead shop (Eve went to All About Beads in Greenfield), select the beads, put them in the prescribed order, and the salesperson could string them together for you in the order you chose, which should be as follows:
 
Large Bead—The Situation
Large Bead—Not-Knowing
      Small Bead
      Small Bead
      Small Bead
Large Bead—Bearing Witness
Large Bead—Loving Action
      Small Bead
      Small Bead
Large Bead—Unity/Dedication
