Many people asked me,
Does Buddhist amulets really work?

How effective are they?

Why it never work on me?

How come after I wear it, my luck still havn't change indeed I am getting worse?

There are tons of questions posted by my friends and thousands of people regarding how effective and efficient a Buddhist secret object will be. Normally we are so focus on the benefits and functionality of an amulet until we had forgotten the fundemantal.

The following question should answer the fundamental of a Buddhist amulet:

a. Why such amulet is being made?
- What was the justification?
- For charity?
- To build or to renovate the temple?
- To pay gratitude to any belated monk?....

b. Who create this amulet?
- Who is the monk that make the amulet?
- Who involves in the blessing
- Are they well in holding the Buddhist practices?
- Any white robe practioner?
- Any Ressi in the blessing ceremony?....

c. When was the amulet being made and chanted?
- The date, the time....
- Is the date fall on significant day, for example the year 2537, Sau Har?

d. How was the amulet being created?
- What type of material is chosen? Metal? Pollen? Ashes?....
- What is the method to mold the amulet? Hand or machine mold?
- How long do the blessing ceremony lasted?
- Are the amulets blessed in different temples?

e. How many of them have been created?
- A few pieces.. up to several thousands pieces..

Above-mentioned questions should finally reach a simple statement for a good amulet. In our context, a good amulet is defined as "an efficient" amulet, with no direct correlation to the price.

If you were to wear an efficient amulet, the power of the amulet will synchronize with your power. Benefits will be gained through this synchronization. The power of the amulet is obtained through the creator (The monk who create it and the team who bless it). The power of khata (or magic power, a layman term) is locked in the amulet provided the material chosen is specific secret material and is from part of the nature. The strength of the power is very much depending on the process of making and blessing, and how strong the faith of the monk to Buddhist practices.

This is why a good amulet can benefit his owner, regardless if it is an antique or a new amulet.

There is one more factor affecting the outcome of an amulet to her bearer - The Karma of her bearer. Some bearers will see the effect almost immediately after they put it on, such as striking a lotto or unwounded in a severe accident. However some will not observe significant change. The fundamental reason behind such effect is: The Karma that individual carries. A strong bad Karma will prevent the luck and prosperity from reaching the bearer.
