We can further look into the similarity of the various religions. One of the common similarities that we can observe is; most religions have their own tripple gem (a term that I borrow from Buddhism, I hope this does not offend those who read this blog). The tripple gems are (1) The originator, (2) The teaching and believes, and (3) The teachers. For Buddhism, our originator is Siddata Gautama, the Buddha; the Buddhist sutra and mantra are our teaching; and the monks are our teachers.
Regardless of the sect of Hinayana or Mahayana teaching, it is a common practice for the monks to create amulets with Buddha and Bodhisattva's figure or some objects with protective spell in order to be given to their diciples. Therefore millions of Buddhist talisman was created since some two thousands years ago from India and Sri Langka until now Thailand and Cambodia.
