During an interview conducted by Miss Sheng Mei`en of Cha Yu Hu (Tea and Teapot Magazine ) in early July 1992, I explained briefly how Gzi beads should be preserved. The following is an elaborate version of the points I made:
1. Wear the Gzi beads as frequent as you can. This allows them to absorb your body warmth and interact with the magnetic field of your body.
2. If you have many Gzi beads, place them on an altar table for better care and appreciation. Rub them lightly with your fingers to add warmth and brightness to them.
3. When stringing Gzi beads, part the beads with soft quality spacers to avoid abrasion or crashing. The latter will cause the beads to crack.
4. Before bathing ,take the Gzi beads off and placed them on an altar table or desk. Avoid wetting the beads too often otherwise the string will break easily. Besides, dampness is harmful to Gzi beads.
5. When changing clothes, handle the beads carefully. Do not drop them onto the ground otherwise they will break or crack.
6. Pay attention to your behavior. If you feel that what you are going to do might be disrespectful, take the beads off temporarily.
7. Protect the Gzi beads you wear. Do not lend them to others without a good reason or let others touch them.
8. When participating in various congregations, invite the Rinpoche (spiritual teachers) to empower your Gzi beads.
9. If any one of the Gzi beads you wear is damaged during an accident, replace it with another desirable piece.
