Thailand Budda
Thailand budda is a unique Buddhist ornament in Thailand, which belongs to the same category as the wiping Buddha in China and Tibet, but smaller in size. Thais believe that the earth is the mother of human beings, so it must be made of clay, not gold, silver, copper, iron, crystal, colored glaze and glass, nor can these items be used to hold Buddha cards. It is a reservation of faith and tradition.
Historically, there have been wars between Myanmar and Thailand. Whenever a province or region is looted and the stupa is destroyed, a large number of Buddhist cards will be found in the ruins of the stupa. These Buddhist cards are extremely valuable and often have a history of hundreds of years. Most of the Buddha cards are made into small ornaments and enshrined in the stupa. The purpose is that if the stupa or Buddhist culture is persecuted in the future, it can also inherit the Buddhist culture through the small size of the Buddha card. To remind the world of the splendor and brilliance of the Buddhist culture of our ancestors.
Many people will invite Zun Thailand budda home when they travel to Thailand, but how much do you know about Buddha's cards? Is it really good to invite Buddhist cards at will?
Many people say that Thailand's Buddhist cards will bring good luck to people. In fact, this statement is one-sided, because Thailand's Buddhist cards are divided into three classes, heaven and earth. Heaven is the purest, but its magic power is relatively weak. People's is more general, and the earth's is also called Yin card, which is used by some people who want to achieve their goals quickly through the side door.
When traveling in Thailand, you can buy Buddhist cards in many places, but it is difficult to tell whether this Buddhist card is a yin card or a yang card. Therefore, most people end up buying Yin cards, which will not only bring bad luck, but also bring stroke of bad luck. If you don't know the difference, you'd better not buy it!
bone
Many people travel to Tibet or Nepal and like to buy some exquisite handicrafts in the street, but as everyone knows, many of these handicrafts are actually made of slave bones by Tibetan wizards or nobles in the past, and the bowls may be human skulls; The trumpet may be a human leg bone; The small box may be a pelvis, and you don't know if you buy it.
Some people say that if these things are illegally possessed, they are easy to evoke souls, and they can also attract souls from Nepal or Tibet.
Although there are few handicrafts made of this kind of bone products now, it is better not to take them home to be on the safe side.
Hawaiian sandstone
Although the Tourism Bureau of Hawaii has clearly told "Don't take away any sand and stones in Hawaii", there are still many tourists who have not paid attention to it. In fact, this notice is not from a purely environmental point of view, but because it is a curse of Hawaiians!
It is said that Hawaii has been an Indian kingdom for thousands of years, until the white people invaded, and one of the members of the royal family in Hawaii fell a curse when he died-"Anyone who takes Hawaiian land will come to no good end!" The land taken away also includes stones and sand taken away by tourists later, so tourists will be recruited every year.
Some people took the Hawaiian stone without knowing the curse, and when they came back from the tour, they found that all the photos could not be developed. Later, when I learned of the curse, I sent the stone back.
Among them, the black sand beach in Hawaii is the most "evil". If you bring this black sand home, even a little bit will bring disaster. That's a curse from the volcano god.
Scottish stone
The stone curse in Scotland is unknown, but the curse has been going on. It is said that the ancient Scottish warriors left a curse when they died, and outsiders were not allowed to take away their land. Especially in the past, Scots were often invaded, which strengthened their grievances, so the curse has continued to this day.
About the origin of the Scottish stone curse, I saw it from an old Scottish book. According to the book, the Scots were invaded by the English in the past. In order to protect the graves of their ancestors, the Scots put a curse: "Anyone who takes the stones from the ancient tombs will destroy the cemetery, and they will be unlucky in the world, and those who do not repent will even die."
Turkish evil eye
Legend has it that Turkish condemned prisoners gouged out their eyeballs, wrapped them in resin and polished them.
This is a witchcraft originated from gypsies in the Middle East. Hanging an evil eye at home or on your body can suck away the evil spirits of outsiders. Therefore, the wearer often needs to change the squint, because the evil spirit is full, which not only begins to have magic, but also harms people.
Generally speaking, the evil eye must be sent away after it has been used for a period of time, but it must be sent away by means of transfer and gift, and it cannot be directly thrown away. One of the ways to send them away is to sell the used evil eyes to foreign tourists at a low price.
And in the streets and lanes of Turkey, vendors say it's new. But it's better to be careful and don't buy it easily. Basically, 90% of evil eyes are old evil eyes, that is, second-hand squints. Ordinary laymen can't tell whether the evil eye is new, so it's best to avoid taking such souvenirs home.
Egyptian black cat idol
I believe that most people know the curse of the Pharaoh under the ancient Egyptian civilization. It is said that anyone who destroys the sleeping Pharaoh will be cursed. Even the items stolen from Pharaoh's tomb will bring misfortune, among which the black cat statue in Beitucheng is the most effective.
In the Egyptian black cat market, the gods who are in charge of death can drive away evil spirits. People worship the black cat gods and support them as decorations or souvenirs. There are also many private vendors who steal the black cat gods in ancient tombs and sell them to tourists. Those gods are cursed by Pharaoh.
Cats that are regarded as gods in Egypt, especially those favored by Pharaoh, will be made into black stone statues and put in Pharaoh's tomb after Pharaoh's death, and put a curse on them, so don't take them home as souvenirs when traveling to Egypt.
