Thais believe that the earth is the mother of human beings, so it must be made of clay, not gold, silver, copper, iron, crystal, colored glaze, glass, nor can these items be used to hold Buddhist cards.
This is a reservation of faith and tradition.
Historically, there was a war between Myanmar and Thailand. Whenever a province or region is looted and pagodas are destroyed, a large number of Buddhist cards will be found in the ruins of pagodas.
These Buddhist cards are extremely valuable and often have a history of hundreds of years.
Most Buddha cards are made into small ornaments and enshrined in pagodas.
The purpose is that if the stupa or Buddhist culture is persecuted in the future, Buddhist culture can also be passed on through small-sized Buddhist cards.
Remind the world of the splendor and splendor of the Buddhist culture of our ancestors.
The original intention of the Buddha card is to wear it around the neck to protect the soldiers who participated in the jihad (to safeguard the land rights of Thailand).
Because the Thai people believe that Buddha will bless those who sacrifice for others.
Now it is used as an amulet and worn around the neck to protect people's safety or enhance their beliefs.
