Amulet

Do u know what is an amulet? Amulet is an object that protects a person from trouble, to bring good luck and/or protection to its owner. In Thailand, one can commonly see people with more than one Buddha hanging from their necks. On saturday, i'm having lunch at a coffeeshop and suddenly approached by a Thai monk asking for donation. There is many bogus monks out there nowdays but after i observed him closely, I believe he is a true monk as he walked bare feet and his soles were black as charcoal. He also offered me many kinds of amulets to be sold. He said the each amulet has its own power. There were Jatukam Thai buddha which offers protection, Long Po Kun offered luck and money come, Kun Pen offer charm and luck from opposite gender so on and so forth. Some ppl wear 4 to each 5 amulets around their neck with different power. I didn't buy the amulet from the monk but just donate RM10. For me, i just need protection from Buddha and the one and only amulet i have been wearing brought from Thai temple. For love and money, i believe there is no free lunch in this world and just have to work hard to get it.
