Actually, wearing amulet and sakyant has the same power/purpose..but tattoo has lots of "pantang", if the master that sakyant for u didn't tell u the "pantang", then the power may be broken easily/without u knowing coz u broke the pantang..but amulet, no pantang..That's why i alwaz dun advise people to do tattoo..

Ya, old Somdej (exceeding 140 years old) from Wat Ketchaiyo were consecrated by AC Toh. Fragments of old Somdej Ketchaiyo by AC Toh are mixed into newer issues and fragments of these newer issues were added into even newer issues of Somdej frm Wat Ketchaiyo thus perpetuating the legacy of Somdej amulets by AC Toh. FYI..

Yup, bro Synz is correct. Juz to add, it doesn't matter whether we are wearing even or odd amount of amulets, juz have to make sure they look balance and tidy (on the necklace for example).

Acharn Khuan of Sam Poh Buddha

Just thought of sharing a master with devotees who might need to seek out spiritual help on various aspect of their life. For those of you who reside in the Klang Valley and its surrounding area, you might want to consider dropping by to visit Acharn Khuan Chan Tah Behte. AC Khuan has been ordained for 25 Pansa (years) in Kedah. He hailed from a lineage of great masters from Kedah. His grand uncle is LP Lingdam of Wat Naka and his uncle is Chao Khun Bao of Wat Kalai. Throughout the years of his monkhood, he has learned the Scriptures and magical art from various great masters from the Northern region of Malaysia and Southern Thailand. Three of his most notable teachers are LP Lingdam of Wat Naka, Porthan Weang of Wat Khuan Niang, Patthalung and CK Bao of Wat Kalai.
The good Acharn has returned to laity while still upholding the Panca Sila as a lay disciple of the Faith and continue to serve the Teachings by adopting the role of a Upasaka, helping devotees in terms of spiritual and metaphysical guidance. AC Khuan has a shy and humble personality. He speaks Thai, Hokkien and Malay. He currently resides at this centre:
Sam Poh Buddha
No. 247, Jalan 9, Taman Tan Yew Lai, Old Klang Road Off Jalan Puchong Batu 6, 58200 Kuala Lumpur.
Tel: 03-77828076
AC Khuan is available for consultation from 8 a.m to 7 p.m. daily.
For those who are interested to meet AC Khuan for consultation, please give a call at the telephone no. above for an appointment and for direction if needed.

Ah, good. Do u find him to be a nice person? Send my regards to him if u drop by on Wesak..I can't make it to his place..

Thanx for sharing. Juz a suggestion, if it is not too hassle/troublesome, try wearing your Sivali on yr right and the good LP on yr left (the opposite of what yr arrangement is now) as it is a norm to arrange the more senior/higher ranking guru/deva/saints on the right. (Sivali, direct disciple of the Buddha is more senior than the good LP u r wearing)..

Thank you for your support, campaign ended.

In reply to a question as to why monks make spiritual entities such as Lokok, Guman, male/female ghost, I opine it would be beneficial to share some insight here. Apart from practising the Buddhist teachings, monks make amulet to help devotees in their aspiration and daily lifes (metta, luck, wealth, protection, etc) and in some cases even the spiritual beings. In the case of Lokok and Guman, these baby spirits die unborn or very young. They don’t have enough karma to be born as a normal person, so after death their spirits wander around, without any direction as they don’t possess sufficient good karma to be reborn as human. So, in compassion, masters/monks turn these baby spirits into Lokok and Guman so that they can help their adopted "parents" in protecting their family, property and business and in the process accumulate good karma until it's enough for rebirth as human.
Similarly, male/female ghost are made to help beings that die an untimely/tragic death so that their spirits can accumulate enough of good karma by helping their masters in protecting them, their family, ushering business to a point where their good karma is sufficient for reincarnation as human.
With this reasoning of compassion, the act of making Lokok, Guman and male/female ghost is in alignment with the Buddhist teaching of metta and compassion and there's nothing wrong but instead merit in it. However, this act of merit would be defeated in its purpose if the subsequent masters/owners of these spiritual beings do not have the proper insight in using them. Using them for good purposes helps/enrich the owners and the spirits themselves while using them for harm is detrimental to both the owner and the spirit's karma. In this case, the spirits will accumulate more bad karma thus prolonging their suffering. Therefore, the correct understanding is very important for those who intend to adopt spiritual beings less they do more bad than good to both themselves and the poor spirits.
The above is the rationale used by masters who follow the Buddhist teachings in making spiritual entities. Masters/witchdoctors who practised animism/folk religion may also produce similar spiritual entities under different rationale or principle.

The last 3 images are definitely LP Thuad, but back images not shown, so can't be sure from what temple. But generally LP Thuad amulets that are properly consecrated from temple can be used, provided that u sincerely chant his katha and pray for His help sincerely/earnestly and He will come to yr aid..

U didn't ask the monk himself when he gave it to u? There is no inscription on it to say who or what temple issued it..Can use, material looks nice..

For gambling luck, LP Thuad is out of the question..If u wanna have this sort of luck, then u wld have to forgo LPT, wld u do that?

LP Thuad, Wat Pakok, BE2539

KP plai guman, LP Tim, Wat Lahanrai. If cannot afford, then KP plai guman, LP Sackorn, Wat Nongkrub is a good substitute..
