Juzu Beads are used by some newer Buddhist sects such as Nichiren Buddhists. They are different from Mala Beads. Mala Beads are supposed to be 108 beads for a large Mala (four sections of 27 beads with a divider bead and a head bead with a tassel). Mala Beads are for Mantra counting (Hindu), not sutra recitation (Buddhist). Nichiren Buddhists, not Hindus, use Juzu Beads. Juzu beads are smaller and are distintively different by way of the tassels. Juzu beads have 5 tassels, two on one end and three on the other end. The beads with 5 tassels represent a Buddha. The three end are the head and both arms of the Buddha and the two end is the legs of the Buddha. The three end is to be placed over the middle finger of the right hand with the two end placed over the middle finger of the left hand,
