Was reading through this thread I'm not familiar with the other statues but am familiar with Luang Pu Tuad. I have a small figure in my house. As far as I know this Luang Pu Tuad can't really be considered a "god" but was a famous Buddhist monk in Thailand. This is his story: http://www.huahinquality.com/monkol.htmlHe is highly respected and there is a temple dedicated to him in Thailand. After his passing he made a vow as a great being to protect those that are following the Buddhist teaching and doing good and being kind to others. These things work only if we are good and do good things and have faith in them.

What Maloa says is true... sometimes these things lessen the bad things that are supposed to happen. Can you all please tell me more about renting amulets ? How does it work ?

Hi Maloa,
Myself haven't rented so far. Mine have been given to me by monks or family friends. That's why I really haven't got any from the shops or temples.

Will take some pics. They are always on my altar b'cos I'm alergic to metal things. Anyway this is my Luang Por Tuad figurine on my altar. It is older than me too.  |

Wow!.. .didn't know that there are so many kinds of amulets. The ones I got are either luang por tuad or Sakyamuni Buddha with Thai writing on them. Some of the figurines and small statues on my altar are Thai style versions of Buddha too.

But I don't think that these things can lose power. B'cos the power comes from inside us. From faith and the good deeds we do... prayers etc. Anyway bad luck ? I don't think so too. QUOTE(maloa @ Jul 9 2008, 02:25 PM) hello again paradiseboy.. er in laymen terms,yes the amulet will lose its power,but not to worry,just give it to monk for prayers,unless u r talking about tangkai or takrut..that is going to be abit hard as some sifu will have different powers than others,unless u specific know what the tangkai is for..or done by famous monk hopefully the monk will know the pali for it..i dont think it will cause bad luck..hehe... |

Hi Maloa.
Anyway for me... b'cos mine are mostly gifts from family friends I don't ask about their origin or whether they have been chanted upon. Normally what I will do is perform a short ritual once I receive. I will put a glass of clear water and do my usual prayers over it, dip the amulet into it 3 times and then inform heaven etc... that I received this from such a person and indirectly thank the person.
For other rituals I'm not sure.

Anyway Maloa... in what sense is a talisman "fake" ? Does it mean that the effect is not there or it is not made properly ? QUOTE(maloa @ Jul 10 2008, 02:29 PM) hello project-o,how nice of your family friends,if got extra remember to pass some to us yar..as for collection and admiration..as for me. my uncle passed me 1 JTK, and ask me to try and wear..it proves its ability in a way and i never question about its identity wherether its real or fake.. the amulets i've rented,so far i dont purposely verify with ppl wherether its real or fake, i just wear it with faith,there are a few i felt uneasy wearing it,so no harm still put in altar,one of the many i rented in bangkok only is fake(friend look at my collection and told me this 1 no ok) but i still keep in altar and offer my prayers/joss stick to it..because karma is not on us,its on those that do all this bad deeds..but of course there is a fine line between believers and collectors..because collectors only look for old and genuine amulets,as for believers dont care wherether its old or new, as long as got faith...as for me..i fall in between those line,i believe and collects..but if i know its a fake, i wont blame myself or the dealers...because maybe the dealers needed that money(take it as do charity and learn a lesson) it will makes you feel better...forgive and forget...  |
