Making My Own Thai Amulet at the Tiger Cave Temple in Krabi - "press it yourself, bless it yourself"

Pressing a clay amulet at the Tiger Cave Temple in Krabi. My only regret is that we didn't have more time to explore the temple. There are steps that lead to the top of the mountain where the original tiger cave is located. For more on Thailand, amulets, and more, check out http://abettertrip.com

To be clear, this is a "press your own" program at the temple. You can leave it in the tray to be blessed (not clear if you ever get it back) or you can "bless it yourself" they let you make the choice. We were on a very tight schedule (on the way to the airport) and did not have time climb the mountain or explore the temple grounds further. It's on my to-do list to go back and spend more time there.

I was so enjoying this video and suddenly realized this was made by a friend of mine. Amazing, and this is true what is told in this story. This shows how Thai Buddha Magic is not just something from the Master, it is also empowered by the wearer through chants and prayers (truly meant)

@npblosch19 Thank you! My only regret is that we were so short on time that day we didn't have a chance to explore the temple more and learn more.

@GregK28002 Greg, sorry I didn't see this a few months ago. You can buy a necklace with rings spaced out at the right distances for 2, 3, 5 or even more amulets.

@tinfamily Hey can you have 2 Amulets on 1 necklace cord? I think you can because i see people with 2 on one necklace cord

@GregK28002 My understanding wouldn't fill a thimble :), but yes that's how I understand it :)

I think the idea is we don't really "own" it in the sense that we should use them to sell for profit, auction them off, that kind of thing.

@tinfamily meaning.. Example when i have a kid or kids in the future I would pass it down to them? correct? I believe in Thai Theravada too but yeah just wondering.
