Meaning of Thai amulets and lucky charms
In the thai buddha markets many amulets and charms are sold.
One amulet appears to be deer antlers from a young deer, not yet grown. Around these wire seems to be coiled. A; thai man once tried to sell me one of these for 300 Baht, which means they must be powerful amulets. there is also a figure of a small fat person. It is not the buddha. The figure appears to have a flower overturned on his head. You cannot see his face. The figurines are made of a kind of flower paste painted gold or with gold leaf. There are many thai magic objects that are not connected to buddhism. Many of these same amulets and charms will also be used in Laos, Cambodia, maybe Burmak. I would be interest in know what these amulets and figures mean (and if they really work). Ian C. |

Meaning of Thai amulets and lucky charms
Aye , yer an eager lad Ian
Sure they work.....ask the tahaan paaan. A deceased friend of mine, a Thai, trained for the Vietnam war in Canada, was covered with amulets and magic tattoos......and 4 bullet hole scars. Obviously they worked ........and worked damned well ! Unfortunately they didn't work for concrete bridge impacts. However..........I am sure that there is an amulet that protects from concrete bridge collisions. Ya just have to purchase the right one. ...Ken "Ian Chelada" wrote in message ups.com...

Meaning of Thai amulets and lucky charms
That depends on your believe. My uncle drove 3 Japanese engineers
home one night in Kong Sedone. It rained heavyly and the car crashed off the road. As the car about to hit the tree, miracle happened, it flipped to the side instead. The Japanese couldn't believe, how could the car not crashed straight to the end of its path. The asked my uncle if he has any emulate. He took out his buddha from the compartment and showed it to them. They said we never practice things like this in Japan. Did the buddha really safe their lives? You make the call.

Maybe not buddhas, but it is extremely common for Japanese people to carry lucky charms from shrines or temples in their wallets or cars. -- Dave Fossett Saitama, Japan |

Meaning of Thai amulets and lucky charms
Ken,
My uncle then brought that buddha to ask his friend who is a buddha dealer at Talat Sao. His friend asked where did you get this from? And his friend told him he would trade anything and everything for that one buddha. My uncle realized that he was not joking. So he kept it to himself. I went back to Laos quite often. For my safety, my uncle decided to give it to me for my protection. My Thai friend saw it, and he told please think of him first before I give it to someone else. Next time OK, gotta go home.

Meaning of Thai amulets and lucky charms
300 baht ain't nothing. I talked to this taxi driver last December,
he said the Buddha called "SOMDET" can easily fetch for 40 thousand dollars. Among Thais, they said there are only 4 sacred Somdet Buddha were made. And even the Thai crown prince is looking for one. He is willing to give away a brand new mercedez benz for one Somdet. Smooth D On 3月2日, 午後12:55, "Sandy Cruden" wrote: Ian Chelada เขียน: In the thai buddha markets many amulets and charms are sold.
