Mantras For Thai Amulet Maintenance (佛牌的应用咒)

There are some mantras used to enhance and invoke the power of our Thai amulet that are not normally known. Of course, first of all; your amulet MUST be authentic or the amulet would not work at the least. Worse if there is unknown entities in the amulet, then they may possess the amulet wearer. So, before trying out the below ‘khata’, please do yourself a favor and make sure what you wear is authentic.

In addition to the specific khata given together with the amulet; below khatas can be used to enhance the interaction of the owner with the amulet power also.

The power of an amulet can fade in time, so one can visit an archan or monk for blessing or a person can also perform the recharging using below mantra. First, one should sit in front of his/her altar and hold the amulet with both hands at chest level. After that, he/she should recite the below mantra:

Khata for empowering amulet:

TA NU TIE HE, SA NENG TA MANG,

TA NU TE TAM, WU TI SA NENG,

TENG SA YE KUI, JA NENG TA NENG,

TENG SA KA TENG, NA MA MI HAN!

If one is no sure of the intention of his/her new friends, then he/she can use below mantra to stop all bad intentions.

Khata for preventing bad intentions from friends:

LE PUT LA KA, TE PAU TENG WA,

LE TE YE PAI, TE HAN JI TE,

LI TENG JIMANG, NAGA NI TA WA,

LE YE HONG SENG, NA MA MI HAN!

If one is facing with dangerous situation and there is no way to escape, then please do so by holding the amulet and recite the below mantra:

Khata for invocation of the power of amulet spirits (in case of danger):

YIN PAN LO WA, LA SI NI LA,

SA MA TE PA, WA NU JIAN NU,

SA REN PAYA, NA YIN PAN RA,

SIN LI WA JAN, NA MA MI HAN!

If one is afraid of being attack by spirits or black magic during sleep, then he/she can hang his amulet beside his/her bed and recite the below mantra before sleeping:

Khata for protection during sleeping:

SA KA TAMANG, TI SA DAWARNA,

SIN DANG LA PA, NA PA PAI GEN,

SAMA SUE DANG, SHA SA WA GAN,

SIN TA JA DANG, NA MA MI HAN!

However, if you do not wear an amulet, then you can pray to your guardian spirit or the Buddha in your altar. Except that you would not be able to empower the statues as there are separate special procedures to empower the statues.

Attractions Of Flowers (花的魅力)

Flowers can be formidable weapons to increase one’s attractiveness in Thai magic. Unfortunately, in oriental world; only ladies wear flowers on their ears or head. I am not sure if the below khatas would work for men as well.

Khata 1:

MA HUO SA SIA, NA KIM PUT TA.

MA HEN TANG YA, LA MA GA MIE.

MA SUE TANG NA, LA TI KUI SUE,

MA NU JU TANG, NA MA MI HAN.

A lady should hold a flower with both of her hands and recite the above khata for 7 times while holding her breath. After the khata recitation, then a breath of air should be blown onto the flower and immediately after that, she should put the flower on her ears or hair. After doing so, anyone this lady meets would find her to be attractive and he/she would listen to what the lady has to say. Of course, the above khata is not only meant for man to lady relationships but also for business deals too.

Khata 2:

TE TO YU WA, KA LA PA NI.

TE NI TA NI, SA SHA WA KAU.

TE NENG TA NENG, PAI LA SE TIE.

TE TA TA MANG, NA MA MI HAN.

Khata 2 is for general used. Before one wishes to meet face to face with a person of high ranking with the purpose of getting favors; he/she can recite the above khata 7 times at flowers of 5 or 7 colours and then throws the flowers into a bail of water and take a ritual bath prior to meeting this VIP. After that the meeting should go smoothly in the favor of the person. Of course, if the time does not permit; one can also wear the flower at prominent position so that the VIP can see the flower.

The Mating Dragon Yant (双龙交汇符)

The powerful 'mating dragon' yant for attracting love.

This is one form of potent Thai love magic known as 'Mating Dragon'.

First, one should purchase a piece of white cloth and then he/she should choose an auspicious date to draw the yant with ink or scented oil.

After the yant is drawn, one should burn some benzoin incense and then fumigate the mating dragon yant whle reciting the below mating mantras:

"JANTANG SANGTANG SINGKARAY ARKSONKA JANTANG" (7x)

"NAMA PATAH NAMA PUTAYAK LERE LEKRE (7x)

During the mantra recitation, one should think of the face of the target as clearly as possible.

After the ritual is completed, the yant is carried with him/her before meeting the person.

If the ritual is performed correctly and the blessing of the guru is there, then the target shall fall in love with the person who cast the ritual. However, if a person lacks sincerity; then the magic shall not work.

This yant is for your reference only as most people do not have the blessing of gurus and the proper ways of empowering scented oils.

The Up And Down Farting Method (上吐下泻放屁法)

Farting is a normal physiological condition. In fact farting is good for one’s health. However, farting out loudly in public or official occasion may be an embarrassment matter. Just think of an important situation that you are about to give an opening speech for your newly setup company. All your VIP guests, boss and press representatives are also present. There you are standing before the microphone and the first sound that came out is a loud: ‘Puuuuttt!’  Or worse, a consecutive of lout puts!

Well, needless to say that farting out loudly in official occasion is not only uncivilized but also embarrassing. In order to save face, one has to try to stop farting. But in the process of enduring farting, it may cause uneasiness and harm to the body. On one hand you have to give the very important speech; on the other hand, you need to control the gas from coming out.

There is a very simple method in TCM medicine to deal with the above predicament:

When there is a feeling of farting, one needs to relax his/her body and mind. At the same time he/she should take in a mouthful or half mouthful of fresh air while doing that, he/she should slightly part his legs. And then the person can slowly exhale the air through his/her mouth. One will notice that by doing the above exercise, the gas in the stomach would also being passed out quietly.

The above exercise can be performed repeatedly until all of the gas in the body escapes. Of course, the key to the success of this exercise lies in one’s ability to relax. Needless to say, the above technique requires some practise but if you constantly need to attend very important ceremonies, then it is worthwhile to try.

Magic Whip To Destroy Opponents With Invulnerability (神鞭治敌)

If you noticed that old Hikmah masters would carry a cane or whip with him/her wherever he/she goes. Well, there is a secret to this whip. Since in modern times, it is forbidden to carry a ritual knife or 'keris' around, the whip becomes the next important weapons against any spirits or magical attacks.

The below ritual only works after one has completed the 'Tenaga Dalam' exercises and certified to be a guru. But first, one need to find a suitable whip or stick; purchased or find one in the jungle. Then he/she need to go to a stream with clear flowing water with his whip.

Now, the person should go into the stream and dip his/her whip in the water. And then he/she should recite Hizib Nawawi once while twist and turn the whip in the stream water. After each hizib recitation, the person should blow a breathe at the whip; the exercise should be repeated for 40 times.

After the ritual is completed, then one should carry this cane wherever he/she goes as formidable weapon against any malevolent spiritual entities. It is said that by a simple strike with this empowered whip, even the strongest opponent will vomit blood and succumb. But please don't try it when someone points a gun at you!!

There are many versions of Hizib Nawawi. The version given to me is as below:

ALLAHUMMA SAKHKHIR LANNA WA MAYYIL LANA WAHZIB LANA QULUUBA IBADIKAAJMA IINNA MINAL JINNI WAL INSI WA AHZIB LANAA, KHOWATHIRROHUM BILMAHABBA TILLADZI MATIL QOIMATI ALAD DAWAAMI BIDAWAAMIL LAILI WAN NAHAARI WA ANTAMUQOLLIBUL QULUUBI WAL ABSHORI YA AZIZU YA GHOFFARU YA JABBARU YA MUGHNIYYU YA SATTARU UNDZURNA NASHRON AZIIZAN WAFTAH LANAA FATHAM MUBIINAW WAHZUL A'DAINA HIDZLANA KHABIIRON FADAMMIR LAHUM TADMIIRON WALHAMDULILLAHIR ROBBIL ALAMIINA.

(Sorry, no Arabic version)

A Joke From Coffee Shop (一则听来的笑话)

I was having my morning coffee in a coffee shop downstairs and inadvertently overheard conversation from a couple. Not that I want to pay attention to their conversations, but their conversation was too loud for me to ignore; further I was sitting just beside them. This nothing to do with magic, but I think it is interesting to share here:

Wife: “I want divorce; I want custody of my children!”

Husband: “You don’t have the right!”

Wife: “Well, all of the children came out from my worm!”

Husband: “Hmm… You withdraw money from Automatic-Teller Machine (ATM) but you never say the money belongs to the ATM!?”

Wife: “…”

Of course, I don’t think the couple meant to divorce. If I am correct, the wife would normally have the custody of children; or they would not have talked the matter out loud. Nevertheless, who do you think has the best argument?

On the other hand, if you are visiting Malaysia and have the time, why not just go to a coffee shop beside any morning markets and have a sip of coffee. In this way, you would enjoy many funny stories too!

The Purpose Of Religions (宗教的目的)

Many people asked me:

“You said that religions are man-made. So, what is the purpose of studying religions then other than religions are being used by politicians to satisfy their own agendas?”

The best answer to this question in my opinion is perhaps:

“Understanding religions in general enables us to live a happier this life.”

I didn't invent the answer. It was given to me by an 80 year-old visiting Buddhist scholar while I was attending a meditation course in Thailand many years ago.

Then I was sitting under a tree meditating one afternoon and an old amicable looking man walked by and he said to me: “Young man, what is the purpose of studying Buddhism?”

I thought it was a simple question, so I answered: “So that we can achieve enlightenment.”

The old man shook his head and asked me to try again.

I pondered for some time but my mind went blank as I couldn't find a suitable answer. The old man smiled, shook his head again and said: “You think too much. No one knows how to judge if one has achieved enlightenment as yet. The purpose of studying Buddhism (and other religions) is to live a happier current life. That was all that the Buddha has preached.”

His answer haunted me for years throughout my years of Buddhism studies and finally I realized what the old man was correct. The original teaching of Buddha was about the correct thinking and actions for a peaceful and happier this life. Hence merit creations and pure land belief were not original curriculum of Theravada Schools.

I think the above answer can equally be applied to other religions as well. Instead of waiting for dooms day to arrive or the fear of being casting into infernos; why not a person just pray and live a happy and productive life now? Happiness is now and not next life or beyond. There is certainly nothing such as sacrifice one’s life for religious matters as when one’s life is ended; no one knows what happens next. For no one has returned to tell his/her story!
