i do not agree with archan brahm talking about amulets is superstition... amulets do give some kind of protection and have miracles IF properly blessed by holy monks as Buddhism has many sects and differents monks have different way of doing things like exorcism etc... and the stupid guy who asked someone to shoot at him using a gun to test his US$500,000 is really dumb... juz my 2cents worth

Good talk. I'm glad to hear him talk about the perversion of Buddhism by superstitions. There are a great many unBuddhist practices and it is rare to hear teachers be as direct as this to talk about the silliness of the Buddha medallion types of things. There are many Buddhists such as the monks of Thailand who perpetuate nuBuddhist culture, especially in how they treat Buddhist nuns.

ooo really, nevertheless, you have to understand that the supernatural is really exist in this world. The main question that often raise is should one rely and worship on that power.
You could do some research on the native south east Asia countries to check my statement.
Or maybe even search in youtube,
type "Cap Go Meh Singkawang " . There is not scientific evidence can explain such phenomenon.
If let me know if you agree with us after you watch these videos.

Youssarian, Buddha never asked his follower to make a statue of him. Buddha statues were made around 500 years after Buddha passed away.
