Great documentary - I would love a part 2 or an expanded version on how they are made, how to select them for different scenarios and how to maintain their powers.

A truly great work of journalism! Thank you so much! Fascinating, and so well told and explained.

Thank u for this great documentary. Helps folks like me in discerning between real faith and placebo faith via the amulet route. There's nothing wrong in wearing a Buddha amulet akin to a cross or crucifix in Christianity if it helps an individual to strengthen psychological needs in their respective beliefs .

[@tehhron]

Yeah but that's not what it does. You're reducing an entire cultural phenomenon to what you're willing to believe it's worth.

The amulets indicate belief in a higher power, I think

[@floptaxie68]

Evil spirits being scared by Buddha, Buddha wouldn’t have expelled evil spirits, he would have preach to them and turned them into good spirits
