Benjapakee is the most wanted
amulets for collectors with the best art , story , legend, bless/chant and
the purpose. thai people usually wear or keep safe in Dhumma room(room for
study/pray for buddha). For real believer that pray, Benjapakee give them
very good luck/fortune, protect from danger or even have better success in
business or any good purpose. this's all to beleive in Lord Buddha, also study
and live in the way of Dharma for that is buddhism. May God of Buddha bless
you.
The only reason in an old time
that Benjapakee change hand (owners) is an estate. In Present there much more
information and story for knowledge (like you read this). Which bring up many
people that have the same passion for thailand amulets from internet , market
, or individual etc to collect benjapakee. Even exchange with high values,
nowaday as time pass the values of benjapakee keep rising as i can see that
real benjapakee are reducing by individual collectors and fake benjapakee
are increasing. why? i don't think i have to explain this.
In the market you can see many
sellers post there amulets and say this is real, but how can you know ? if
the person which made an amulets already passed away. yes you can study theory
that written by somebody on how to authenticate, what is an ingredient or
how to verify the spot. and to ask your belief how much worth amulets will
help you, that it.the best question is that the amulets you wear really help
you, have you experience from them? is amulet have been chant/bless by well
monk? is amulet have power? or just new handmade by some amulet seller that
study the ingredient and how to made? For that reason you'll have to study
Dharma and know from your own. as buddha said (patjattung) meaning seeing
is beliving that the way of Dharma. not just some teaching book for read and
you become one of their believer.. Buddha bless you to see on your own and
one day i wish everyone can feel the power of the amulets and Dharma, how
much thing exist that all seeking to know.May God Bless You All.
