Contrary to some of the other reviewers, I've really enjoyed this kit. Certainly, the beads that are included are not the gorgeous malas that practicing Buddhists would be looking for, but I can't tell you how many complements I've received on the mala that I've made with the kit. Putting together the malas was simple, fun, and the book that came with the kit gave a nice background to the use of prayer beads in several religious backgrounds. If you're looking for an interesting kit with Buddhist influences but a pop cultural flavor, I would recommend it.
