What is Thai Buddha amulets? - Introduction

Buddhism is the national religion of Thailand, where tens of thousands of registered temples are around every corner.

Thailand Buddha amulets are small talismans of so many styles made from special materials, which can be purchased in temples, speciality stores and vendors of Thailand with vastly different price tags.

In the earlier days, the making of Buddha amulets — from the material selection to the consecration of finished items — is at the hands of senior monks in traditional temples, who would prepare materials including ashes of scriptures, herbs, holy soil 7 foot beneath temples, and other sacred objects. Metal amulets are mostly made of copper.

To make amulets, the needed materials should be ground and flattened, into which great power will be infused by the consecration of repeated Buddhist-scripture chanting and script-writing. The making of metal amulets will go through the similar process. The amulets, after the making comes to an end, should be under the chant of Buddhist scriptures for at least three months to be qualified for being enshrined by disciples. Amulets' great power, therefore, results entirely from that of Buddhist scriptures and senior monks, while the power of deities might somehow increase or decrease after amulets are enshrined.

According to traditional Thai culture, wearing a Buddha amulet made in a decent temple brings you not only good fortunes but also some other fairly special effects, like improving interpersonal relations, deterring weasels, and attracting wealth.

Evil-minded amulet wearers will never receive any help from Buddha amulets, no matter how invaluable or historical their amulets are. The efficacy of Buddha amulets is judged not by the price but by the thought and the mind of wearers. Those who are kind-hearted and decent and often do good deeds will definitely get blessed and protected.


Aside from the above, whether amulets bring good luck or not depends on your fate with deities.
