About the Soto sect

The shape of the prayer beads for the Soto sect is very similar to that of the Rinzai sect, but a characteristic of the Soto sect is that the prayer beads have metal rings running through them.
It is unclear why they are there, but one theory is that these rings represent Bodhidharma.
