The process of making Buddha amulets is complicated. First of all, monks need to collect specific materials from everywhere before making Buddha amulets, such as plant roots, herbs, soil, gravel, sand, wood, spices, etc. After all the materials are collected, they are dried for a period of time Then grind it into powder. In order to enhance the spiritual power of the Buddha amulet, some monks will add their own hair, sutra ashes, even their own leftover rice, or auspicious saints collected from holy places such as the birth, enlightenment, preaching, and death of the Buddha in India into the production materials.
After preparing the materials for making Buddha amulets, there is another very important process, which is for the eminent monk to write sutras on the blackboard with chalk in hand, recite mantras while writing, and then fill the blackboard with sutras. After erasing the writing, collect the chalk powder and use it as sutra powder. In this way, after hundreds of scribblings, enough sutra powder can be collected. Then, the collected materials are evenly stirred and then extruded into Buddha amulets one by one using a mold. After these pressed Buddha amulets are dried, the temple will select an auspicious day to hold a blessing and consecration ceremony. In the process of blessing Buddha amulets, many eminent monks often join in, striving to inject the power of scriptures into the materials as much as possible. If one day is not enough, just ten days, thirty days, a hundred days, or even as long as the eminent monk thinks it is enough. Sometimes, eminent monks will add talismans to the amulet to increase its power.
In addition to the pink amulets, Thailand's metal amulets are made of copper sheets and other metals. Among the metals used to make the amulets, the metals are said to be five treasures, seven treasures and nine treasures. In contrast, Nine Treasure Copper is a particularly precious production material. The so-called nine treasures of copper must have the following nine kinds of holy objects, 1 gold can absorb energy and block evil spirits, 2 silver is holy, 3 copper brass or red copper, 4 mercury to repel poisonous beasts, 5 tongs to avoid danger, 6 zinc ancient nails, 7 tin Midan is a sacred object to avoid misfortune, 8-power clay is a very precious sacred object, and 9-nickel is the material for making coins.
After the eminent monk collects the materials for making the metal Buddha amulet, he will start blessing the materials. First, the eminent monk will write sutras and charms on metal such as copper pieces, and continue to chant sutras and blessings. When the mold for making the amulet is completed, the eminent monk will also chant sutras and bless the mold for making the amulet. For colleagues who are making Buddha amulets, the senior management will continue to recite sutras and blessings during every process. Until the amulet is made, it will be consecrated by one or more eminent monks and recited sutras for a period of time, usually at least three months. Let the good believers respectfully invite you.
