Bhikkhu Suvaṇṇasāmo (พระแกวิน):
Buddhism has always existed as a religion, but the western definition of religion defines it as a cult or belief system centred around worshipping or the veneration of a set group or individual deity or divine power. Solely because Buddhism does not place emphasis on such a practice instead opting to say that liberation is to be found by cutting off our Kleśa (delusion) and not bound …

12 Jul 2026, 16:31 UTC137 viewsread 6 August 2026 The story reflects an important teaching in Luang Por’s tradition:
Having a sacred object is not enough. What matters is knowing how to preserve its spiritual value. The Diamond Armour Yantra is not a toy. It is not jewellery. It is not something to boast about, as though one person possesses stronger protection than another. Instead, it is a reminder for the receiver to return to the Buddha: to keep the precepts, p…

🪷 Received a Sacred Yantra… So Why Can Sorcery Still Affect You? 🪷
This question strikes deeply for many people who possess sacred protective objects.
Some believe that once they have received a yantra, everything is finished—that having a sacred object means they will be protected from every danger.
But Luang Por’s answer was more direct, and far deeper:
“That shows the yantra is not staying wi…

If we do not use the Devārādhanā (Devā invitation) chant for the Deva Assembly, because it's a chant for inviting deities to listen to the Dhamma, then what chant did the ancients use for the Deva assembly?
There is one Deva Assembly chant that is suitable for use in 'worship rituals,' 'bai̍ śrī offerings,' or other 'sacrificial rites,' with a wording that fits and can be traced back as an ancient standard.
I'd lik…

People often ask me,
“Ajarn, as a monk, what do you do with the money the laity gives you?”
My response is often,
“I use the money not to enjoy myself or to buy pleasurable things, but rather use it as a tool. I simply use it to pay for the various expenses I have, which include,
PLANE FLIGHTS (they are not cheap/also a big part of where my money goes to because people always invite me to go to various places to …

Question: “Hey Ajarn, how can I start the practice of naga veneration?”
Answer: Somebody recently asked me a similar question, I will give you a similar reply. Nāga veneration is a complex series and process of rituals that must be done, and simply is not recommended for everyone to do. If one is already endowed and established in Sīla, and meditative attainments, you are more likely to find success in that way.

My most complicated yantra I have done so far, this is the Phra Moggallāna Bone Extending Yantra, and there is a complex ritual done to consecrate and make it.
Its uses: To heal fractured or broken bones, or to heal the body of pain and suffering.

A sage is not concerned with the affairs of the state, but should praise all victors and losers equally. It is the way of the sages to give those who desire victory the opportunity, and it is also the way to be content with being neither …

View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
