2nd picture comments.
This is even worst after i know how the crack and lost pieces to be Replacement.
The bottom left of the pieces of somdej , i believed to be a somdej wat rakhang .
After i saw this picture , I'm thinking about ..
How they replace the pcs of lost ? and they make the material lookalike ?
without crack line ? with replacing of black colour paint or rak (rubber) to protect the amulet for the old ages amulet.
how they make the pcs of lost and cracked amulet to back as like a origin amulet?

佛牌加持或跟随你。Katha Puja Phra Kreung

Katha Puja Phra Kreung (Invite Your ‘Phra Kreung’/Amulets To Be With You)

Basically for amulets we wear are categorize either as Phra Kreung or Kreung Raeng. Phra Kreung means amulets which depicts forms of Buddha or his followers like Phra Sivali or Phra Sangachai or virtuous monks of which we must wear above the waistline. Kreung Raeng would include takrut, Hanuman, Chucok, Bia Gae etc which does not depicts the higher orders of Buddha and his Sanghas.

One should always or encourage to practise this. Invite the Gurus and his blessings to be with us before wearing our amulets. Hold your amulets in your palm in ‘wai’ position.

Start by reciting .

Namo tassa bhagawato arahato sammasambudhhassa

Putthang Arathananeng

Dhammang Arathananeng

Sangkang Arathananeng

Putthang Passitimae

Dhammang Passitimae

Sangkang Passitimae

Sithik Khong Kraphan ( May I be impenetratabal by objects or weapon )

Sithik Klaew Kard ( May I escape from harm )

Sithik Mahalap ( May good luck be with me )

Sithik Mahasanae ( May I always be surrounded by loving kindness )

Sithik Nirantarayo ( May all that is bad and unwholesome not befall on me )

Om ruay ruay. ( May money come easily to me/ May I never be broke )

Then wear it.

Katha to increase ‘responsiveness’ of amulet. 提高佛牌力量或感应力

We constantly receive enquiries about how can amulet collectors increase their amulet’s ‘responsiveness’ or in Thai they call it ’saksit’ . Responsiveness or saksit usually refer to the effectiveness of the amulet in answering our request.

We have to stress again here ( as we have share in our previous posts ) that such responsiveness depends on many factors. For example our Karma or our parami/perfections. We have shared a simple katha before this, chanting of Mak A U, or Nak Mo Budh Dha Yak or Nak Mak Pak Tak but perhaps our readers are expecting something a little bit more challenging. A word of advise for the Katha enthusiasts, it is not just in the Katha alone but our heart as well in order to effectively execute a Katha.

Here is another Katha we can use to chant to increase the responsiveness of the amulet.

Please begin with Namo tassa bhagawato arahato sammasambudhhassa

Puthang saksit prakchow plaengrit pit duai prak Dhammang

Dhammang saksit prakchow plaengrit pit duai prak Sangkang

Sangkang saksit prakchow plaengrit pit duai prak Puthang

repeat 3,5,7, 9 or more.

Note:

Please before we chant the Katha above, ensure that our body is clean eg. your hands. Center ourselves within first, clear mind of all thoughts and set mind at ease. Bring to mind our Buddhas, Luang Po or Guru of the respective amulets, Teachers and parent. Then recite.

Thanks to From SaengThai.

尽量收藏自己熟悉的佛牌

当 然是要寻择自己所熟悉与尊敬,并且得到大家认同的佛牌,来做为收藏的佛品,这样才有一定的收藏价值与保障,因为古时候,不论在泰国,缅甸,越南,甚至远达 印度,锡兰等地都有制佛的历史记载,在这许多国家中所制造出来的古代佛品,何止千万,所以作为一个佛牌收藏家或佛牌爱好者,就必须小心选择自己所应该收藏 的"佛牌圣物"了.

当各位选择佛牌前必须了解以下几个问题,必须具备对佛牌的知识与见解,每位收藏者必须注意与多多学习,并且一定要具有对"佛牌 "品质与质料的知识,绝不可 人云亦云或跟风吹气,必须要有自己的主见,所以必须学习如何察看佛牌泥质与经粉,也应该具备分辨旧泥与新泥的不同处或白灰与经粉的分别能力,这样才不会错 误恭请到"仿"造的佛牌了,避免造成无谓的金钱损失.

佛牌为什么会有消灾解难和避邪挡降的功能呢???

以上我们提过,佛陀是天地间"正气"的代表,所以凡刻有"佛陀"法相或经咒的"法宝",都代表着这位宇宙间拥有"无上正偏知"的"大智慧"者释迦牟尼佛祖,在借助佛祖的"慈悲"与"愿力",来化解世上的"仇恨"与"恩怨",为佩戴者带来"光明"与"幸福".佩戴开光的佛牌, 能帮助我们避开险境,那是因为佛,菩萨的愿力与佩戴者的"信念"产生共鸣的原故.

当我们身上佩戴一尊或多尊佛牌与宝物时,若不幸遇到了突发的危险,我们的身体会发出人类遇险时的自然反应,如心跳加速,血液会变得冰冷,会突然发出惊叫的 求救声等等,当以上这种情形发生时,我们身上所佩戴的法物,就会因佩戴者身上的突变而产生感应,这种"正信"的感应将会传达到附近之"圣灵"或"菩萨", "罗汉"们,在与"佛祖"的威猛灵力聚合,发出不可思议的力量,来解救众生之"苦难"与"危急".

我们曾经听说过"佛牌"与"法宝"的感应而救命的信众,他们都异口同声的说;在遇难之危急关头时,曾看到一道"白光"或"红光"闪过,然后整个人就因此而 飞了丈外,或被这股强光推离了险境,因而逃过了这次的劫数等等,遇难者都一致认为,这股发自佛牌或法宝的强光,就是"佛力"的代表,也就是天地间专门用来 对付"妖魔鬼怪"与"邪灵降术"的天地间之"正气".

但佩戴佛牌者也千万要记住,若"祸根"或"劫数"是由佛法中所说的"因果轮回报应"而起,不是由于"邪灵作怪"或"巫术降头"害人的话,那"佛牌"或"法 宝"是无法化解这中"祸劫"的,因为佛法对世人是平等的,自己种下的"祸",必须由自己去"化解",去"修补",去"奉还",才可达到最圆满的"佛境", 也只有这样才会对世上的每一个"佛教徒"公平,而"佛陀"才称得世上"无上正偏知"的大智慧.总的来说,信众们佩戴"佛牌"或"法物",在佛法上是会有一定的庇护功能,它能使在世上的"邪灵","不净灵"或各种"邪术","降头"不能加害于有"正 信"与"念力"的"佩戴者,但若佩戴者本身自己"心怀不轨","忘恩负义","唯利是图","不信因果",那所受的业报应该由自已负责,毕竟"佛牌"与" 法宝"是不会帮世人做坏事的.

各位朋友,希望你看了以上的答案后,会从中知道或了解到"佛牌"或"法物"的真正用途,若自己本身觉得"恶业"太重那应该马上"放下恶心"正所谓"放下屠 刀,立地成佛",只要有心改过为时不晚,另外每天定时诵念"佛经圣号"也可以帮助减轻业障,化"恶毒"为"佛果"使世界"安乐太平"人人"富贵吉祥"那我 们伟大的"佛陀"在天之灵,也不必在为我们人类操心了

佛牌为什么会发出超自然的神奇感发能力呢???

佛陀,菩萨,阿罗汉们都是天地间"正气"的代表,所以佛教徒只要付出本身的一份"诚心"与"信念",其"信心"就会与佛,菩萨们的这股"正气"接通,也会因此能得到"佛力的扶持",受到"佛光普照"从而"灾难消除","吉祥如意",过着美丽与富足的人生.但在今日繁忙的社会里,也许是生活紧张或受到现实功利的影响吧,现代有许多佛教徒他们都把"拜佛"或"戴佛牌"甚至是"念佛"转变成一种积极对物质追求与 希望,每个人都只懂得求,不懂得修,也就是不要工作,只要拿薪水,他们每天只懂得求财,求姻缘和合,求名成利就,求生意兴隆,求中马票,求骏马听话场场跑 第一,求逢赌必赢,求刀枪不入打劫不会被警察抓到等等,真是千奇百怪,无奇不有呢,而且所求的东西都是与佛教不相符合的,你说"佛陀"该如何是好呢???其实每一位佛教徒都应该知道,佛教是极注重"缘"份的,不论是"善缘"与"恶缘",在佛教的规律中都应该是世代修来的"缘"份,其中必有因果,所以有些事是不可强求的,就拿睹来说吧.若你佩戴了一个开过光的"法宝",如"当盖"或"符铜"之类开运"宝物",你在开始赌时第一场输了,第二,第三场再赢回来,第四场输得比先前更惨,但第 五,六,七,场又收复了失地,那这是在"宝物"的感应上就是说在下今天"睹运"欠佳,应该马上"班师回朝"或"呜金收兵"才是,但若你当时还是"执迷不悟 ",一心要"搏"到尽,那到头来"输"得个"焦头烂额",那又能怪谁呢???在佩戴"佛牌"或"法物"中,以上这种情形称做"缘塞",因为自己的"贪念"与"信心"太大,所以造成了"本身"与"法宝"的感应脱节,使佩戴的"宝物"失去了启发的作用,这也可以说是一种"自执"所造成的不良后果.最后我要再三的提醒大家,在"佛教"的戒律里,"赌"是五戒之一,所以奉劝大家千万不可以"赌"为业,当然若能完全不犯"赌"戒那是再好不过了,但若真的 无可避免,难以克制,非赌不可的话,那只好衷心的奉劝大家,千万不要因"赌"而"输"掉了朋友的"感情"与"正念的佛心",沉迷在"赌欲"的魔界之中,永 受地狱之苦.

Absolute Equation
These are queries from a reader, almost all the email content is preserved:
I recently bought an amulet, but after i wear it, i dont find anything special happening to me !?

Comment: The problems are the "quality" of the amulet itself and the "quality" of you yourself. First, is your amulet a real item or a fake? If it's real and well made & blessed by qualified Gurus, the amulet will certainly be efficacious and should have some noticeable effects. Second, how do you-- the amulet owner--practice yourself. A close friend of mine has many real good great amulets, but apart from that he donates to help needed temples and regularly chants some good great Kathas with his high faith. He automatically and unintentionally attains good Smadhi in some degree. Strange phenomena and lucky fortune are happening to him.

The most important thing is before you are wearing amulets, you have to request for Buddha and LPs' protection, a blessing on Metta, fortune, and even daily good existence. The request process needs Smadhi or concentrated mind. The more Smadhi you have, the more result you will receive.

Thus, real good amulets + real good practices will really effect noticeable changes.

1) How to choose a real amulet?

ANS: In case of old or rather old amulets You must remember its specific features--its form or characteristic, its mass or material, and its surface. There is no exception--it's a must to have knowledge thoroughly on every item. The degree of success depends on your eyes and your memory. And this is why I always say that it's much more difficult to examine Thai amulets than gem stones. Or else, buy it from a real qualified, trustable and ethical shop or expert.

2) Can all the amulets i buy in Thai temples be trusted as real?

ANS: Certainly, they can be trusted as NEW REAL items, but the EFFICACY of amulets are NOT ALWAYS good great. It depends on ability of Guru(s) who made and blessed them. It means how strong their Visha Arkom (knowledge on magic or Saiyavej) and how High Dhamma they attained. Frankly speaking for Present Period, there are NOT MANY real qualified Gurus who could create real good great amulets.

3) How can i be sure which amulet is suitable for me?

ANS: There are many kinds of amulets --Metta, Klaew Klaad (free from harms or safty protection), Kong Kra Phan (impenetrability), Maha Amnaj (power), Maan Kong ( security), fortune, etc. Ask yourself what is/are your specific purpose(s) to use amulet(s), and then find such the spec amulet(s) to wear. A lot of people have concurrent reasons or purposes, so they can wear many amulets on a chain at wishes.

4) It's not that i don't believe but i bought an amulet at a shop, but it's not helping me, that's why i don't know whether its real or fake.

ANS: Good amulets + good practices = good effects. I strongly guarantee this absolute equation.

Beware of Propaganda Items

A lot of Thai and Singaporeans collectors are haunted by amulet propagandists. In some places tricky merchants cut and copy non-standard newspapers, which reported miraculous events of amulets, to blow up and make propaganda text for commercial purposes. It works !! A lot of propaganda items sell like hot cakes!!

The top-hit monk lists in Thailand and Singapore are not so different. Frankly say here that in among the lists only few of them can be accepted for their Dhamma practices and amulets. Most of them are not qualified while many are unknown. The truth is--they had been launched to the sky by propaganda printed media. They speedily go up high; and after propaganda items are already saturatedly absorbed by less scrutinized collectors, they acceleratedly fall down to earth like meteors.

This is the main reason why a lot of Thai and Singaporean collectors collected DECEPTIVE NOVEL-BASED AMULETS of no efficacies at all

Money is not so easy to earn, it's from our sweat, troubles and miseries, but we easily allowed ourself to be fooled by those propagandist merchants. Don't be gullible collectors anymore but please be SMART collectors. Here are some advice to protect your money not to fly out from your wallet cause by propagandist merchants:

1. Collect good amulets created by great Gurus--not propaganda amulets--by consulting the LIST OF GREAT GURUS I have prepared.

2. Beware of the news cut on amulets' unbelievable events referring to non-standard newspapers.

3. Beware of the unknown and strange names of monks to whom are referred on miraculous performance.

4. Buy amulets from ethical & trustable shops or persons only.

MAY YOU ALL BE LUCKY TO GET GOOD GREAT, ORIGINAL AUTHENTIC AMULETS.

Something You Should Know

" Sweet words are not true, but true words are not sweet "

1. The most important thing in collecting Guru amulets is--knowing on each amulet background, WHO made & blessed them and WHAT for. Please beware of very numerous items which are BUSINESS-ORIENTED.

2. FRANKLY SPEAKING, THE REAL GOOD GREAT AMULETS ARE SO MUCH LESS WHEN COMPARE TO THOSE FAKES AND INEFFICACIOUS, BUSINESS-ORIENTED ITEMS MADE BY UNQUALIFIED MONKS.

3. PRESENT-PERIOD amulets need more deliberate consideration because a lot of them are BUSINESS-RELATED amulets. But still so many are good great amulets. If we really know their backgroud, we could separate them and get the selected good great amulets with inexpensive prices. If you're not sure whether they are good or not, please consult real qualified, trustable experts.

4. Try to collect STANDARD amulets of good background and avoid strange-form or strange-name amulets, or unfamiliar names of makers(monks), otherwise you will lose your money for INEFFICACIOUS amulets.

5. Remember that in among a lot of PRESENT-PERIOD guru monks, NOT MANY are real qualified. And don't be frightened or shocked by the fact that MANY FAMOUS monks which you know quite well and whose amulets cost high prices ARE NOT real qualified!!

6. Amulet world is rather complicated. It's flooded with propaganda and fictions. Please think twice because there are a lot of mouth-to-mouth RUMORS and PROPAGANDA stories.

7. Please remember that amulets that one hanging or collecting will tell the owner's NATURE--taste, economic status, social status and wisdom. If you are hanging or collecting fakes, non-standard items, or naive-monk-produced amulets, you may be looked scornful.

8. The very truth is-- in every 10 amulet hangers or users, we will find only 2 or 3 that hang good, qualified-guru-made amulets. I do hope my dear net-readers are such the lesser 2 or 3 kind.

9. Please realize that a lot of fakes, non-standard items, and inefficacious amulets produced by non-qualified monks were exported and FLOODED in some neighbor countries. Thus, be yourself and don't be dragged along or influenced by those hot-sale, propaganda items.

10. Please remember that EXPENSIVE amulets do not always mean GOOD while GOOD amulets do not always mean EXPENSIVE.

11. Real QUALIFIED EXPERT, ETHICAL MEDIA that feed you with amulets knowledge and related information will help you much on your learning. But there are NOT MANY such the media.

12.Some LOW-QUALITY and NON-STANDARD printed media struggle their existence by dealing, directly or indirectly, with some NON-QUALITY newly-made or leftover amulets of large amount. They are really pure-business amulets. The propaganda and persuasive text is well prepared for readers. If we lack the good background or good sense, we will be gullible preys. So please think twice after reading any text related to PRESENT-PERIOD amulets.

Food for Thought

Few people in Singapore are willing to pay money for the real genuine amulets, unless exaggerated sales pitch are involved, or when buyers are shown newspaper cutting in regard the efficacy of amulets. Collectors have their own small circles for talk. My observation is that people here responded to sales talk more than genuine and factual presentation of amulets, whilst many responded significantly to magazine cutting, etc.

Many, for some misguided reasons, expect immediate results after wearing the amulets. You are quite right to point out that few people really appreciate real goody amulets in Singapore. Another observation here is that many have paid unnecessary exorbitant price for common-place amulets Then there is also a handful of veterans who spent great old time in Thailand but only to find them avoiding the amulet mainstream gossips for the right reasons. Like anywhere else in this world, the amulet fraternity here has its fair share of amulet politicking.

So my advice to our net readers is that we should get ourselves involved in productive dialogue with the experts and avoid those amulet gossips; it does not help us in our spiritual development and it is very unproductive. My old time friend is one such example. He feels embarrassed and sadden when he joined people in the dialogue in the past. It is unproductive insofar as our spiritual development is concerned. Singapore is small such that it is not difficult to know who are good and genuine collectors here. Very sadly, some genuine and well-meaning people paid unnecessary high price for fake amulets, or amulets which price are artificially and unreasonably inflated.

Mr Lek - sometimes it is not difficult to detect fakes from the genuine amulet by mere naked eyes. So my advice to net readers is to spend wisely. Invest your hard earned money into valued-orientated amulets that are efficacious

Don’t reinvent the wheel. Learn from the historian but look forward. Remember there is wheels within wheels in amulet collection. Good luck in your amulet quest.

No Sweet Truth

Derwent's comment on the article "Food For Thought" is very useful and always up-to-dated for every collectors. And I think the correct concept of amulet collecting should be established in among many Singaporean collectors, otherwise they would reinvent the wheel and lose their hard earned money. And these are some issues that should be realized by anyone who want to be "real" collector:
1.The indulging in the exaggerated sales pitch instead of self discretion based on the standard study system will cause a lot of Singaporean collectors not able to upgrade themself in amulets collecting. And this is no wonder why a lot of Singaporean collectors collect very strange-look or strange-name amulets. Sadly, many good great items should be collected but are ignored while a lot of fakes and fictitious should be ignored but are reversely collected. It's the upside-down collecting style.

2.The late great guru Chao Khun Nor teach us a very sharp and clear words:
The fakes talk a loud voice, but the real are deaf & dumb. The misleading collectors should think twice on this reminding sentence and try to understand it.

3. Studying and collecting Thai amulets relies on genuine and factual presentation approach--the imprint and mass--on those real good, long-year experienced, standard amulets. No exag-gerated sales pitch is concerned.

4. The real good-made and well blessed amulet has its real miraculous efficacy, but how strong its efficacy is and how fast it results depending on the user himself. If the user has good meditative mind and could harmonize himself with the amulet's power, he would receive strong and fast effects. So, the efficacy of an amulet depends directly on the mentioned two side inter-active action and reaction.

5. A major problem in Singapore is caused by the lacking of local experts. And some few good-knowledge persons or real mature collectors feel embarrassed to take inter-active relations with those talkative lacking-knowledge collectors. The collecting sys-tem in S'pore is not running on its track, it's like the off-road commuting. If they don't change their collecting concept, they would wear fakes and never experience the real great miraculous efficacies of the amulets forever.

6. Remember that running and grabbing amulets after the exaggerated news will be causing to get the fictitious, the fakes or the imitations.

7. As I have stressed before, the truth is not sweet while the sweet is not the truth. Some sentences on the above text may be bitter. The nature of the truth is that. And if we don't accept the truth, how can we improve ourself for going forward.

Prelude of Amulet Collection

Thai amulets is real big world. Many and many are collecting items. Even collectors could not know all of them, but they should know them as most as possible or at least in the scope related to their collecting. More than 20 years I have been in this field and many thousands of core and popular collecting items were closely examined by me, but still more in outer perimeter waiting to be learned --it's non-stop learning task.

Most important things for whoever want to achieve the title VETERAN COLLECTORS compose of the following factors: seeing a lot on real pieces, reading a lot on their backgrounds, and listening a lot from the learned persons.

The nowaday hi-tech communication system help so much on our learning. You can learn free from useful articles via internet with clear and high resolution pictures. But knowledges are not limited on those articles and pictures, even something from veteran conversation forum is also knowledge--maybe unwritten and unrecorded knowledge .

Remember that there are a lot of fakes and propaganda items spreading in Thailand's neighbor countries, especially in Malaysia and Singapore. So, we must also have knowledge on those fakes and propaganda items for wiping them out from our collection. This is the way we would get only the real good great items that are excellent value. To achieve this goal, it's a must for us to concentrate on seeing, reading and listening as mentioned.

Even I have a lot of daily tasks to do, I promise that I will often meet you here, so please often visit this page to upgrade your knowledge on Thai amulets. See you !!

何是“三好”( Collecting Amulet Knowledge )

按照泰國人選擇及恭請聖物的規矩，完美的聖物需由“三好”條件所構成。（請仔細看以下的資料）

1. 第一好；聖物需由“好高僧”進行製造。

如何基本地調查該位製造聖物的高僧是否夠好﹗首先，需要詢問當地善信。若是真正的好高僧，一定會有不少當地的善信崇拜他。

注意﹗有不少特別在佛牌報刊長期做廣告而漸漸有名的所謂高僧（半真半假），若是詢問該位高僧所住持寺廟附近的民眾，常常發現無人知曉該位高僧的名節。此類高僧所製的聖物，推出市場時常伴隨著廣告，但過了一段時間之後，沒有了廣告的支持，就再也沒有人願意收藏和恭請，而且會發現已恭請過及配戴過的善信，會將當初此些聖物便宜賣出或四處亂扔。這真是奇怪的聖物啊﹗

２．第二好；好聖物需要經過“好的製造儀式”而完成。

也就是說，製造聖物的每一階段過程，都需按照傳統的製造方法，而且此過程，皆需由高僧親自管理而督作。　

注意﹗數十年以來，市場上新推出的聖物，大多數皆是在工廠裡大量開模製造而完成，而且製造儀式的每一階段過程中，皆與高僧無關（高僧並未親自管理而督作）。

３．第三好；製造聖物必須具有“好的目的”。

也就是說，製作與出售聖物所賺來的金錢，應該使用於利益眾生與功德之事，例如；修繕佛塔、修繕廟牆、建築學校、修補馬路、製造佛像等等。

並不是落入某人的口袋或錢包裡。注意﹗目前百分之九十以上的新推出聖物，可說皆是某人、某老闆或某佛牌中心，在幕後出錢製造的，他們雇用工廠大量生產，並廣做廣告，利用高僧之名氣而推出聖物於佛牌市場，此類聖物泰國，人們稱為“老闆聖物”。

據說缺少第三好條件的聖物，將不會得到天上的佛祖、龍波師傅們及神仙們的保佑
