108 minutes is a sacred number in world religion. The teachings of Buddhism speak about the uniqueness and pricelessness of human life

108 is mystical number from Vedic numerology, more precisely from Vedic culture. Vedic culture the oldest on the planet and has thousands of different scriptures from the most various fields life: religion, economics, society, family, health, everyday life, self-knowledge. The number 108 in the Vedas is considered magic number excellence and success.

Having made 108 attempts at any type of activity: training, repetitions, etc., a person reaches a certain level of perfection. This is due to the fact that human memory consists of two parts: temporary and permanent. Temporary memory is intended for short-term storage of information while an action is being performed; permanent memory retains information throughout our lives. By repeating a long number, for example your phone number, 108 times, information about it is forever stored in the internal memory. For this reason, the classic rosary consists of 108 beads, so that a prayer repeated on them 108 times becomes part of a permanent memory.

The number 108 is a perfect number and represents all of existence. And here are some arguments showing why this is so:

  • The number 9 represents integrity, and the number 108 adds up to 9 (1+0+8). If, after multiplying ANY number by 9, you sum all the digits, you always get 9!
  • 108 is the most perfect number.
  • 9 planets move through 12 signs and form the entire existence. 9×12
  • 27 nakshatras or lunar constellations, have 4 parts (pads) each 27×4
  • The 27 nakshatras are also divided into 4 elements - fire, earth, air, water.
  • It structures the whole of existence. 27 x 4 = 108
  • The diameter of the Sun is 108 times the diameter of the Earth
  • The distance from the Earth to the Sun is equivalent to 108 solar diameters
  • The distance from the Earth to the Moon is equivalent to 108 times the diameter of the Moon
  • 108 years - length of the lunar eclipse cycle (total lunar eclipses occur every 108 years)

In India, the number 108 is sacred , and here's why:

  • 108° - the angle at which the western mirror is curved sacred mountain Kailash in India, its two northern mirrors have bends of 30° and 78°, for a total of 108°
  • 108 is the sacred number of Hinduism. 108 names of Shiva. 108 names of Vishnu.
  • 108 - Buddha's number, a collection of Buddha's sayings, consists of 108 volumes
  • 108 - symbolizes the sky
  • 108 beads in a Shaivite rosary
  • 108 Upanishads and laws that govern human life and the entire universe in Hinduism
  • There are 108 prayer cylinders around the Bodhnath Stupa in Kathmandu, which pilgrims walk around 108 times.
  • 108 especially revered temples in India.

In Eastern psychology and philosophy - 108 has a special meaning:

  • Having completed 108 attempts/trainings/repetitions in any type of activity, a person reaches a certain level of perfection, and information about this is reliably fixed in permanent memory and stored throughout human life.
  • 108 desires - based on the fact that a person has five senses and a mind (5+1) with which we can feel sensory experience- pleasant, unpleasant and neutral (3). Each of these sensations gives us either pleasure or pain (2). And since this experience exists in the past, present and future (3), we get (5+1)*3*2*3 = 108
  • Chakras are the intersections of energy channels, of which there are a total of 108, converging to form the heart chakra. One of the central channels, Sushumna, leads to the seventh crown chakra, which is the path to Self-Realization.
  • Marmas are similar to energy intersections called chakras, except that they are formed by fewer converging energy channels. There are 108 marm in subtle body person.
  • There are 54 letters in the Sanskrit alphabet, each of which is masculine and feminine, the energy of Shiva and Shakti. 54 x 2 = 108.
  • On the Sri Yantra there are marmas where three lines intersect, and there are 54 such intersections. Each intersection has masculine and feminine, Shiva and Shakti qualities. 54 x 2 = 108. Thus there are 108 points which define the Sri Yantra just like the human body.
  • In Hatha Yoga, there are 108 main asanas (body positions) of therapeutic yoga.
  • There are 108 pain points in the human body.
  • Created in nature, the Divine measure of beauty is called the Golden Ratio. One of the manifestations of the Golden Ratio is a regular pentagon, the internal angle of which is 108°. The golden ratio is present in all aspects of our lives (human body, internal organs, flora and fauna, DNA molecules, galaxy, etc.).

In nature, there are both chaotic and universal structures, i.e. ordered. Universal structures are characterized by stability, and chaotic processes are a transition from one stable state to another. As is known from physics, order in crystals (diamond), metals (iron), substances (water), and minerals leads to fantastic properties of these matters.

Ancient people, contemplating nature, sought to be in harmony with it and acquire the qualities and properties of various substances and elements for self-development. One of the tasks of Yoga is to achieve orderliness in the human body so that there is a resonance with the natural structure. Then the energy of nature is transferred to the person, and the energy is also information about nature (the possibility of clairvoyance in a person), and the properties of matter are also transmitted, which a person may not have.

Still others do 108 laps - however, not every day, but on some special occasion, for example, celebrating the beginning of a new year, or solstice day, or Children's Day on June 1 during a charity yoga marathon on Red Square. Indeed, both in Eastern practices and in history. culture and science, the meaning of the number 108 is clearly higher compared to, so to speak, ordinary numbers.

The most compelling reason for the prominent role and significance of the number 108 is the concept of a complete cycle. In short, here's the point: Whatever you do, repeat it 108 times, you will reach the initial stage of proficiency, and you can even teach it to others. For example, if you are trying to develop healthy eating habits, regular physical activity or spiritual practices, do not make premature conclusions: they say, this is not for me, I can’t do it, it doesn’t work for me. Extend the trial period, bring it to 108 days, without, of course, violating the principle of regularity. In 99% of cases people achieve success.

And now a little mosaic - interesting examples confirming the special role and meaning of the number 108 in different areas life, culture and history.

  • 108 beads on a rosary. According to Hindu tradition, the meaning of the number 108 stands out among many others because the sum of its constituent digits equals the even more magical number 9. 8+1=9. The sacredness of the number 9 is also sacred, because it symbolizes integrity, God, who is everything and is present in everything.
  • 54 letters of the Sanskrit alphabet embodied in male and female hypostases, forming unity and opposition, like Shiva and Shakti. Two times 54 - and again we get the number 108.
  • There is a theory that there is 108 passions, or rather, feelings or sensations (sometimes it is said about 108 sins, but this does not fit well with the Buddhist tradition). This experience of perceiving the world through the six senses can be positive, negative and neutral, leading to well-being or, conversely, to the destruction of oneself and the world around us. Let's multiply all this (6 senses, 3 of their possible qualities and 2 types of consequences) and we get 36 different variations. This experience exists in the past, present and future, that is, multiply by 3 more - and again we get the cherished number 108. Again, pay attention to the sum of the 36 digits that make up the number - again 9!
  • Indian astrology relies on lunar zodiac, whose constellations are called nakshatras. Each nakshatra consists of 4 parts - padas, 4 elements (earth, water, fire, air), ultimately forming all that exists. Having multiplied, we find the same number 108.
  • Classical Western Astrology comes from 12 houses and 9 planets. multiplied? another reason to think about the meaning of the number 108.
  • In astronomy, the number 108 appears everywhere. Distance from Earth to Sun equal to 108 times the diameter of the Sun, and the diameter of our main star itself solar system 108 times larger than the diameter of the native blue planet, and distance between the Moon and Earth 108 times the diameter of the Moon.
  • are located at the intersection of energy lines, the main ones of which are, again, 108. By the way, they all converge in the heart chakra Anahata, therefore, as you improve in, you work with 108 energy channels. Smaller energy lines connect 108 marmas - points that, like acupuncture points in Chinese folk medicine, are used to treat and prevent various diseases according to Ayurvedic methods.

In Indian traditions, the number 108 is truly ubiquitous: 108 dance forms, 108 Upanishads, 108 Hindu deities, each with 108 names. The holy river Ganges covers 12 degrees of longitude (from 79 to 91) and 9 degrees of latitude (from 22 to 31). We multiply and we get the number 108. Even Islam did not stand aside; here the meaning of the number 108 is also sacred and is one of the designations of God. You can list more and more.

As for meanings of the number 108 directly in yoga and for yogis, then it is quite diverse. For example, a yoga mat should be washed at least every 108 times it is used. To just get close to the mechanics of Bakasana, you need to try to take the Crow pose at least 108 times. According to one of the classifications of hatha yoga asanas, there are 108 main poses that have a pronounced healing effect.

Some yoga teachers claim that there are 108 styles of meditation. In the tantric tradition, it is believed that the average number of breathing cycles per day is 21,600. Of these, 10,800 saturate us with solar energy and the same amount with lunar energy (about solar and lunar breathing you can read it). The meaning of number 108 in this concept is also visible to the naked eye.

And even the first manned flight into space - Yuri Gagarin - lasted 108 minutes. And this is far from a complete overview of the facts with which the meaning of the number 108 is inscribed in the history of culture, history and science.

I hope that now the 108 breathing cycles of Kapalbhati, which we so regularly practice, will be filled with a deeper meaning for you, and the goal of mastering the Surya Namaskar complex so that you can easily do it 108 times in a row will not seem like a formal task to you.

The meaning of the number 108 can systematize and streamline not only your yoga practice, but also your entire life, leading to excellence, professionalism and self-realization in any area that is important and interesting to you.

Here's what I found about it on the Internet. This is a compilation of links upon request, plus here and there I made my own additions, based on statements known to me. So...

Ordinary rosaries from the East always consist of 108 beads. This number is found not only in the Hindu tradition, but also in Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains and in almost any tradition that has its roots in India.

If you have ever learned to practice mantra, you have probably been told that the mantra should be repeated at least 108 times a day, and not 15 minutes a day. Why?

In Japan, the bell of the Zen Temple rings 108 times to announce the arrival of the New Year. Obviously this number has some meaning. But why isn't a rounded number like 100 used?

15,000 years ago, the influence of the Brahmins was so great that temples in honor of Vishnu and Shiva were built in each locality 108 times.
The first Vedic saints were famous mathematicians and actually invented our number system. As you know, the decimal number system came to us from India. However, the same sages who developed the decimal number system separately identified the number 108.

The number 108 was definitely highlighted for one reason:108 represents all of existence.And here are some arguments proving why this is so:

1). The number 9 represents integrity, and the number 108 adds up to 9. 1+0+8 = 9.

Interestingly, when you multiply ANY number 9 times, when you add up all the numbers, you get 9! 1x9=9. 2x9=18. 1+8=9. 285x9=2565. 2+5+6+5=18. 1+8=9. 8543x9=76887. 7+6+8+8+7=36. 3+6=9.

The logic behind it all is that 9 represents wholeness or God and everything is God because... God is in everything!

2). 9 planets move through 12 signs and form the entire existence. 9 x 12 = 108

3). The 27 nakshatras or lunar constellations have 4 parts (padas) each. The 27 nakshatras are also divided into 4 elements - fire, earth, air, water. This also structures the entire existence. 27 x 4 = 108

4). According to ancient texts, the universe is made up of 108 elements. In the periodic table of chemical elements, their number is slightly more than 108.

5). The diameter of the Sun is 108 times the diameter of the Earth (give or take a few miles).

6). The approximate distance from the Earth to the Sun is equivalent to 108 Suns in line (give or take a few miles).

7). The approximate distance from the Earth to the Moon is equivalent to 108 Moons lined up (give or take a few miles).

The average speed of rotation of the Earth in an elliptical orbit around the Sun almost reaches 108 thousand km/h (107.15). But as it approaches the sun closer to perihelion, it reaches this value. The volume of the Earth is ~ 108∙1010 km3 (108.32073×1010). The distance from the Earth to the Sun 1.496·1011 m is equivalent to 108 times the diameter of the Sun 1.392·109 m, or more precisely - 107.5.

Sacred number in Buddhism:
Kangyur (Kanjur, Gandhur), a collection of sayings of the Buddha, consists of 108 volumes;

108 passions - based on the fact that a person has five types of sensations through the senses, plus consciousness. Each of these ways of understanding the world around us includes three sensations from sensory experience - pleasant, unpleasant and neutral. Total - 18=(5+1)*3. Let us double this number by the fact that each of these sensations either leads to bliss or, conversely, repels it. We get the number 36. But since this experience exists in the past, present and future, we multiply 36 by 3. Total, (5+1)*3*2*3 = 108 passions.

108 is a sacred number for all Buddhists, it symbolizes several concepts:
The number 108 connects the 9 intrauterine months and the 12 zodiac signs.

9 is a revered number, especially among the esotericists of Buddhism. Any lama can have only 9 objects with him when setting out on a journey, and 12 symbolizes the seed (seven stars in Ursa Major, seven days of the week. seven notes, seven colors, seven objects of ancient astrology for our Planetary Chain i.e. without Neptune and Uranus, but with the Sun...) and five (5 primary elements of nature).

108 is the sum of twelve nine months equal to 9 solar years and, constituting a full circle of conceptions and births, repeated later (from some specific point of departure) constantly from year to year in the same order. 108 primary elements located in 6 Buddhist worlds.

the number 108 + 1 = 109 has the meaning in Brahmanism of 108 galaxies (including our solar system) + 1 is a symbol of the Creator God who created this system of 108 galaxies.

The number 9 coincides with the period of human maturation in the womb of the mother, but in fact it is a symbol of 9 “windows” in a person; a woman did not belong to the category of “human” because she has many “windows”, i.e. 10. The Chinese also have a “window” calculus.
Bhagavad Gita can be found defining about women.
The number 7 symbolizes the number of planets that were known by the symbols of time and the dominant planet is Saturn, its cyclic circle around the Sun is 29 years and 11 months, approximately 7 + - several months, (see tables of Kepler, author of the Ethemirides) years Saturn is in one of signs of the 12 zodiac!

In mathematics:
The interior angle of a regular n-gon is 180o(n-2)/n.
In particular, in the “gold-bearing” pentagon it is 108o.
In this case, the value 2sin(108o/2) is exactly equal to the number of the golden section Ф = (√5+1)/2 ≈ 1.618.

Special properties are attributed due to the possibility of representing 108 as " magic triangle"(108 is obtained as a product of numbers):

The number 108 in the Vedas is considered a miraculous number of perfection and success. Having made 108 attempts in any type of activity (training, repetitions, etc.), a person reaches a certain level of perfection. And information about this is securely fixed in permanent memory and stored throughout human life.
The number 108 clearly denotes something global and all-encompassing.
In the East, everywhere you look, the number 108 appears every now and then in ceremonies and rituals:
In Islam, the number 108 is used to represent God.
In the Indian tradition, there are 108 forms of dance, and in Hatha yoga there are 108 main “asanas” (postures) of therapeutic yoga.
There are 108 pain points in the human body.
108 especially revered temples in India.
108 prayer cylinders are installed around the Bodhnath stupa in Kathmandu, which pilgrims walk around 108 times, and there are 108 niches with deities.

Sacred number in Buddhism:
Symbolizes everything that exists.
The Ganjur Canon (collection of Buddha's sayings) consists of 108 volumes.
IN Buddhist temples The bell is rung 108 times to overcome 108 passions that prevent people from achieving Enlightenment.
The classic number of beads in Buddhist rosaries is 108 (sometimes there are others with divisors of 108: 54, 27 or 18), which codifies certain provisions of the teaching.
They symbolize 108 kinds of desires that darken a person’s spirit and interfere with his path to enlightenment:
desires associated with the six senses: sight, touch, smell, taste, hearing and mind (6);
in relation to objects of the past, present and future (3);
to internal objects and external objects (2);
three ways of manifestation: in thoughts, in words and in actions (3).
From here follow the canonical numbers of Buddhism: 6∙3 = 18; 18∙2 = 36; 36∙3 = 108.
It should be said that rosary beads are not only a religious accessory.
In Buddhism, they also play the role of a subject in which information related to the basic philosophical and practical aspects of the Buddha’s teachings is codified.
And they are such that Buddhism is reasonable and scientifically based, which greatly attracts the modern world.
Buddha said: “Don’t take anything I say for granted, just out of respect for me, but check it for yourself, examine it as if you were buying gold.” Many people like this non-dogmatic approach.
“Now don’t believe my words just because Buddha said them, but test them properly. Be your own light."
Modern science has learned that the number 108 prevails in the Sun-Earth system:
The average speed of rotation of the Earth in an elliptical orbit around the Sun almost reaches 108 thousand km/h (107.15). But as it approaches the sun closer to perihelion, it reaches this value.
The volume of the Earth is ~ 108∙1010 km3 (108.32073×1010).
The distance from the Earth to the Sun 1.496·1011 m is equivalent to 108 times the diameter of the Sun 1.392·109 m, or more precisely - 107.5.
The diameter of the Sun is approximately equal to 108+1 diameters of the Earth (1.274·107 m).
108 minutes - flight time around the Earth in the most stable orbit. It was this time of Gagarin's flight that brought man to the next level of understanding of reality.
One of the first explanations can be seen in the possible admiration of ancient calculators for a certain “universality” of the number 108.
Thus, according to Plato, a number equal to half 108 is obtained by adding the following numbers: one (1); first two full numbers(2, 3); two square numbers (4, 9); two cubic (8, 27) - total: 54 = 1+(2+3)+(4+9)+(8+27) = 108/2.
Of course, there is some invisible “spring reason” in the widespread use of the number 108. It simply cannot be that it was chosen purely by chance or “assigned” by some high priest"by command", forcing everyone to worship this number.
A kind of constant for the Universe.

In my opinion, the main thing in the mystery of the number 108 is expressed in its “geometry”:
The 00 section number is directly related to the internal angle of 108 degrees
regular pentagon.
The length of the opposite side of an isosceles triangle opposite an angle of 108 degrees will be correlated with its other sides according to the golden ratio.

The number 108 establishes a connection between a continuous arc and a discrete degree measure.

The numerous and varied properties of the number 108 indirectly confirm this, and it can be assumed that the worship of the number 108 is a premonition of the mathematical phenomenon of the “golden ratio”.

By the way, I forgot to mention one more interesting statement. The main cycle of human existence is connected by a 60-year cycle, which owes its existence to 12 causes of being and 5 elements of manifestation.
When a person reaches 60 years of age, he experiences his nidana - the reason for birth, already having a baggage of life impressions and experiences. According to Kalachakra, at the age of 60, a person’s consciousness in this stream of Tanha (immersion in the cycle of birth and death) has already existed for 108 years. Of these, 48 years before birth

My friends! You all know the cleansing tool that I received several years ago and that I was told to share with everyone. This . He came to me as an assistant in connecting with God, because he personifies the endless connection of man with the Creator. Sometimes it is used independently, like this - 108. And this means, “I am united with God, I am in contact with Him.” By the way, I often sign letters this way. And if it is used next to any other tool, it increases its use by 108 times, for example: Thank you 108!

I surfed the net and found a lot of evidence that The number 108 has always been sacred and magical.

108 it is the product of 9 planets and 12 zodiac signs.

We drink and use everyday life water, which consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. So what? The fact is that the angle between two hydrogen atoms with respect to an oxygen atom is 108 degrees, and the expansion of the volume of frozen water (liquid - ice) is 108%. In this case, the ratio of hydrogen bond lengths is 0.618, whereas 1 divided by golden ratio(1.618) is exactly equal to 0.618.

Meeting the number 108 is considered a favorable sign.

According to Buddhist beliefs, a person is burdened 108 harmful worries that interfere with enlightenment, therefore the corresponding practice, performed so many times, is freed from each of them.

Hello, dear readers – seekers of knowledge and truth!

Anyone who is in any way connected with Eastern philosophy and Buddhism in particular, has probably noticed that the number 108 often appears there. This is no coincidence. And today we will find out what the number 108 means in Buddhism.

Today’s article will help you understand what this sacred number means, what it is connected with and why it comes up so often in. Go ahead and search for answers!

Where is it found?

In the Buddhist tradition, and in all its directions, the number 108 can be called sacred. This cannot be called a coincidence - judge for yourself. Many amazing things, events, patterns and phenomena are associated with the magic number, for example, it corresponds to:

  • Number of volumes in the anthology of sayings of Buddha Shakyamuni - Kangyur.
  • The number of sinful passions and desires that stand in the way of... This figure is the sum of five sensory organs and consciousness, multiplied by three types of sensations: positive, negative and average. The resulting number eighteen doubles because sensory experience leads to pleasure or distances it from it. Thirty-six must be multiplied by three possible times: past, present and future. Simple arithmetic points to the sacred number 108 in the work.
  • The number of times the bell is struck during the service or .
  • The number of bows during the prostration of repentance, which was common during the heyday of the Chinese Chan branch of Buddhism, which subsequently leaked to South Korea. Nowadays, prostrations are familiar firsthand to the Korean laity, and the religious scripture “108 bows of repentance” is contained in poetic form.
  • That's exactly how many beads they have. More precisely, there are only 109 beads, but the last of them is located outside the general circle. Each circle of mantras is repeated 108 times, and the 109th bead represents highest degree mastering practices.

This is interesting! Similar beads are used not only in Buddhist, but also in Hindu, Shinto, Vaishnava, Sikhist, and Zen rituals.

  • The number is also interesting from a mathematical point of view: multiplying the factorials of the numbers 1,2 and 3, or hyperfactorial, gives the product 108: 1*2*2*3*3*3=108
  • Sanskrit contains fifty-four letters, and these, in turn, have masculine and female expression, which adds up to 108.
  • It is believed that the chakras in human body exactly 108.


  • The body has the same number of pain points.
  • In many monasteries and temples, exactly this number of stupas is installed.
  • Two more sacred numbers: five - corresponding to the number of natural primary elements - and seven - used to describe notes, colors of the rainbow, days of the week - form a total of twelve. Each lama can take only nine things with him on the road, which when multiplied with twelve again forms 108.
  • The magic of numbers is also associated with one of the favorite places of Buddhist pilgrims - a mountain in the Tibetan range. It has a bend of 108 degrees, and its northern foot bends at thirty and seventy-eight degrees (78+30=108).
  • IN life cycle Even for an unborn child, a sacred figure takes place: the mother carries the child for nine months, and he can be born under one of twelve constellations.

What does it mean

The explanation of the mystery of the number 108 originates in several patterns that will help open your eyes to the reasons for such sacredness.


First, let's break down the number into its components and look at it from the perspective of numerologists:

  • one is the beginning, the starting point, in some interpretations - the divine number, which indicates the singularity of God;
  • zero - nothing, emptiness, absence, abyss;
  • eight is infinity.

In general understanding, one hundred and eight represents the generation that leads to infinity through the void. One hundred and eight is a symbol of order, life, harmony, space.

All three numbers add up to nine, which itself is also sacred.
Moreover: if you multiply nine with any number, the sum of the digits of the resulting product will again be equal to nine:

  • 22*9=198 1+9+8=18 1+8=9
  • 6*9=54 5+4=9
  • 10*9=90 9+0=9

Nine - quantity famous planets, and twelve is the number of zodiac signs. Multiplying the numbers associated with space again leads to the number one hundred and eight.


Conclusion

One hundred and eight is an amazing number in world numerology. It carries within itself positive energy, hides secrets behind itself and can be traced in many laws of science and philosophy.
