Origins of the Red String
The tradition of wearing the "Red String" is found in Buddhism, Hinduism, Kabbalah and Christianity, and is a practice as old as religion itself.
The origins of the tradition differ with each faith but all of them treat the red string bracelet as a talisman for blessings and protection. The "scarlet thread" is mentioned in Genesis 38, the first book in the Bible. It is a sacred blessing for Kabbalah practitioners who wear their version of the red string with seven knots. In Hinduism, it's called the "Kalava". It is also an ancient tradition in Buddhism, especially with the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
For Buddhists, the colour red symbolises life force and compassion. Buddhists wear the Red String as a reminder of the Buddha's teachings, to be kind and have compassion for all beings, to be always mindful and to live virtuously.
