The belief and faith
in Thai traditions have existed since ancient times. In the power of sacred
objects, believe in the goodness of everything that will bring good fortune. It
is believed that it can protect from evil, bring great charm, happiness, and
lead to prosperity and wealth.
History of
sacred objects After the Lord Buddha passed away, Buddhists, when they
remembered the Lord Buddha, brought objects related to the Lord Buddha, such as
the Bodhi leaf. Later, there was a development in creating Buddha statues as a
representative of the Lord Buddha to be a reminder of the Lord Buddha and
creating amulets with faith and devotion in the power of the Lord Buddha. The
Buddha Abhiseka ceremony is a ceremony to build confidence in the power of the
Lord Buddha, the power of the Dharma, the power of the Sangha, and the good
deeds of Buddhists who worship amulets. Thai society has believed since ancient
times that the power of the Lord Buddha contained in amulets comes from the
belief and faith in the sacredness of the amulets. Currently, the purpose of
creating amulets has changed to be commercial Buddhism. The value and
motivation for Buddhists' belief in amulets Those who worship amulets have the
experience of escaping danger or miraculously surviving. For this reason, foreigners
come to rent amulets from Thailand. In addition, the current economic situation
has made the minds of Buddhists weak and fragile. Most people choose to seek
refuge in amulets. The important value comes from belief and faith in the Lord
Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. It can be practiced for real, can only be
seen by individuals, and has a motivation and confidence. When there is an
amulet, there will be no danger and only success. Therefore, people generally
accept amulets with confidence.
