Collection of my Thai Religious Amulets/Pendants - Message Board/Guestbook |
Religious Thai Amulets are immensely popular among many Thai locals or even the Chinese that residing in South East Asia - probably most followers never have the chance to worship the religion and hopefully with the little image that we wear on the body can provide some form of relief. As I mentioned in the site, probably it takes a Thai to create such a high quality website features specifically on these lovely collective pendants. As I can never be claimed knowledgeable in this strong thai traditions but since I am a web developer in nature, I create this solely for personal consumption and hope to provide a linkage among all passionate collectors. Some of the opinion presented within the site was entirely personal and I do not wish to influence any decision prior to any potential purchases or disposal. So, this forum is intended to provide a channel for all to make use of it to present your own individual views. Enjoy.

If your intention is to llok out or disposing your collection, you are also wecome to do so (as long as maintaining some basic ethic not to cheat anyone.

Sorry. Dear Amy and Members: You girls are doing something that is on good course. But I did a brief calculation, the entire cost comes to RM800K+. You are building one or re-construct one from scratch ? That is a huge task I would say. Personally (sorry) I felt this should be Thailand Buddhism Coucil duties rather than leaving it for individual to do so. Next, personaly I felt many local Buddhist Temples (regardless of Thai or Malaysian) also required re-construction. IF I have a choice, I would put our local temples on priority list. Lastly, it is difficult to convince people the donated such a huge sum and whether if the monies are going to put on good usage. Sorry to be that frank, but I think I have other opinion.
Suggestion: Why don't create a website, provide reasons, showing the current state of the temple and objective ?892. From : Amy Chung (cgh___removetheselinesforANTIspam___@idigi.net.my)

对于想要找个佛牌的新的佛门兄弟（或姐妹）们，我要说的是您不用管新或旧，是正与真的就好了。泰国佛牌有很多膺品，无它因为泰国有六千多万人口，不说其它的，就拿两成人口想找个佛牌戴就有一千两百万人，需与求之间那来找这么多好东西来分？ 有一小部份的带有邪恶心的生意人就懂得找这方面下手，所以如果你不熟悉就别硬硬来免得花钱买难受，倒不如买新好过冒风险。 不过新，旧的或精品都好， 买戴个佛牌还得实践做一个佛徒要做之本身的修性。古老的佛牌与盛德高僧所做的佛牌固然是美或如果你信的话例如“效果强大” 但无耐通常它们与本身的供与求之间的价值通常是息息相关，我本身认为也不需强或硬硬追求一个完全的“美”或“好”（对收藏家来说就看自身财务上有几许多余的能力否，玩玩就最好，可千万别硬来）。但在找生记之余，得空的时候也想一想，佛祖两千五百年前遗留给我们德育。现实来说，在这几千年后的环境的变迁之下，除了信仰不连带钱财与事业的运作是行不通的。不过在满足需与求之间，但求固守本身做一个佛徒的纪律就行了。K.T. 要我帮他翻译后一段给读华语（中国大陆， 香港与台湾同胞）的兄弟们分享他本身的意见，我也觉得他讲得也满有意思的，试试而已 －kakaman－。896.

Brother Lip: welcome to the board. Yeap, this episode is both a bad and sad experience. But sometimes when I think of it as a trading business it is all boiled down to supply and demand. i.e. Thailand has 60+ million population with Buddhist as majority. Assuming 20% of the population uses amulets, it will come to 12 million ! NO matter how many Guru Monks were there, it cannot possibly be producing amulets to satisfy all the needs. So, it is not surprising to see temples now engaging into "mass production". Indirectly, demands for older (acceptably good ones by reputable sources) have become even in a stronger demand than ever and naturally, it is synchronizes with appreciation in their respective value simply because the financially established ones will usually are more engagaed in trying to locate "more powerful ones". Assuming NOT all Thai are true Buddhist with a good/strong faith in their religious belief, when combining a business mind with an evil thought, faked amulets are produced (and in a big way). I am not suggesting your friend's purchased are a fake. But it is just a produce to satisfy demand. Further, even temples are busy "manufacturing" amulets in mass output Those days, temples made amulets with good intention to protect the believers as they bought for renovations and keeping the temples as centres to promote Buddhism. Today, the business minded people around are trying to inspire the temple management for a quicker way. I do hope the good intention behind are still the same in this kind of fund raising process. Don't worry, Thailand has a National Body in charge of nationwide temples administration which monitoring such activities but not those underground production which is duties of the department of "domestic consumers affairs" and the Police task force.
Anyway, what I suggest for new comers is, DON'T WORRY if the amulets is NEW, as long as they are REAL (usually they are cheaper to own one as well). In a typical fashion, DON"T FORGET why we acquire Buddhist amulet(s) for and WHAT are they representing in the ROOT of our belief. LASTLY, amulet DOESN'T always = $$$$ and $$$ don't always guaranteed more $$$ with expensive set(s). Personally, following the basic teaching of Lord Buddha inherited to us from 2500 years ago which MADE US A BUDDHIST is more important. Metta, K.T.897. From : Lip Sir (amulet_mazed2003@hotmail.com)

Hai, everybody. I am from Bruas, Perak. Good to find this forum. Collecting amulets can be a painful at times, recently a friend shown a "brilliantly decorated with a diamond in middle" Soomdej image he rented from an undisclosed roadside spot, paid RM600-00 and came back cursing (from KL Pudu plaza) that the piece he rented was easily available in KL shops. He asked why people like to cheat in trade esp when relates to Buddhist belief. Sad huh ?899. From : Kakaman (mail_will_bounce@mir.com.my)
