Authentic Buddhist Monk Amulets are special in that they have been used for thousands of years for protection and to promote health, happiness, prosperity, success or attraction. They have long been prized for their efficacy and power. Traditionally made of precious metals and jewels and kept next to the body, Buddhist Monk Amulets are considered to posses a living force. Mantra is a class of Hindu or Buddhist religious literature written in Sanskrit and concerned with powerful ritual acts of body, speech, and mind. According to Tantric philosophy, all subtle and gross vibrations existing in the phenomenal world can be expressed as primordial sounds, or seed syllables, which combine to form mantras. These seed syllables are then configured within sacred geometrical designs and activated through empowerment. Amulet images are filled with vibrational potency, having an effect of attraction or repulsion in the specific field of its action. This, combined with the wearer's faith and respect creates the effective power of the amulet. Although most amulets are to be worn, there are some kinds that are to be concealed in a safe place where it will not be disturbed. Some amulets related to wealth should be kept in one's wallet or safe.
