When Thai society is faced with

“Economic slump due to COVID-19 pandemic”, people longing to rely on only

"Sacred things, the power of miracles

and superstitious rituals” to hope to use that supernatural power

"Inspire to achieve the desires" during life is facing a crisis.

Until it appears, "Many versions of strange superstition rituals have surfaced on many social media", but it is not something new for "Thai society" where supernatural beliefs, spirits, demons and angels have been occurring for a long time, although " Thailand" enters the modern technology era, "

mysterious things

" are still circulating

Asst. Prof. Dr. Kangwon Katchima, Lecturer at the Department of Oriental Languages, Faculty of Archaeology, Silpakorn University,

said that superstition rituals have been passed down from generation to generation, but ancestors often believe that

“Supernatural mysteries, demons and gods” will be able to help ward off evil.

or to become rich in a short time

For example, in the case of “hermits performing a chanting ceremony, praying, eating for students to drink alcohol”, claiming to make merit according to the rituals learned from teachers as “non-religious superstitions” in order to enhance their fortunes to succeed in doing business as expected

In the "religious" perspective, ancient India also had rituals to feed the gods.

Simply put, Thai people are

"The Feast of the Angels

and ghosts and demons” arranged for rice, fish, food, and liquor to thank them for taking care of them to stay cool

Nowadays, it can be found in rural areas during important religious festivals.

At the end of the ceremony, the participants brought offerings to drink and drink together.

Only in the case of "Prayer, praying, eating" was presented the news and caused the society to misinterpret itself as

"It's a ceremony to sit and drink as well," but as far as following the "ceremony", not everyone is forced to drink.

because some people drink soft drinks or water

Later, when it was an issue and searched in ancient texts, it was found that

“This ritual is a peculiar belief,” similar to the case.

"Invincible Sticky Skin Magic" that is a spiritual belief that cannot be prevented.

Even “

Buddhism

” similar beliefs are written as well.

In the matter of monks who meditate in order to attain, can consume sensual pleasures consciously, known as "

Yap-

yum", the Buddha image in Sambokakay .

or a celestial body caressing with a goddess

This is a symbolic Buddhist art found throughout India, Bhutan, Nepal and especially Tibet, believed to be a way of self-realization.

Therefore, “the very faithful” often offer their daughters as a sacrifice.

"To achieve that image" and the family will receive merit as well.

which was the belief of the people at that time

“But the new generation” may be viewed as inappropriate.

When beliefs have been around since ancient times, the present

“A lot of strange ceremonies have taken place” because people in this era tend to have more troubles.

"Need a place to rest your mind" led them to go to the temple to meditate.

Including paying respect to monks, praying for blessings, enhancing luck and destiny to have a prosperous life with many successes today.

But with that method it takes time to succeed.

"Some new generations" therefore turn to shortcuts by entering into a strange ready-made superstition ceremony that is believed to be able to quickly increase wealth and get wealthy.

If compared, it is similar to

“People who want to have a healthy body” but are too lazy to exercise so they turn to eat supplements instead.

The result is "trying to yearn for fate", patrolling the ceremony to pray for a quick fortune.

Even in my heart I know that

"Risk of money in vain" This has become a channel for the bureau of superstitions to catch weaknesses to use as a tool for many exploits.

with advertising and public relations claiming to have miraculous powers through social media

build credit

"People who believe in faith" by taking an example of people participating in the superstition ceremony and making business successful and rich in the blink of an eye

Or get what you really wished for home

Like this, when “the afflicted person sees the advertisement” most often begins with an observation, it is not worth it. In the end, “failed to get caught up in this whirlwind of beliefs” because the atmosphere of the environment has molded thoughts into beliefs. The behavior is consistent, plus the “ceremonial person” knows how to catch the weak point of the suffering person using psychology to deceive.

persuaded to come in

“Participate in the ritual until you feel empowered to fight for your life”, even though the ritual may not help at all.

But when attending the ceremony

“Emotional state changes,” especially the mind in front of you is better.

"Full of hope" that is a coincidence, but it is viewed as "benefitting from the ceremony" until the belief continues.

For example, “destiny rites, salvation ceremonies”, people who participate in the ceremonies tend to feel better at ease.

The problem is that these things, if encountered.

“Good and virtuous rituals office” may receive advice and advice in a suitable way.

But most often become victims to the bureaus who aim to claim benefits until they have to pay money to perform karma removal ceremonies, pay teachers, buy offerings, donate water and electricity bills.

causing some people to lose their minds because of these beliefs

For example, in the case of the assassination of "

Shinzo Abe

", the former prime minister of Japan, it was caused by the mother of the assassin who believed in a cult and sold the house to donate money.

"Frustrated family bankruptcy" and even more in this belief.

“Whoever has fallen into it is difficult to withdraw.” Some people can even give up their own lives.

Actually... "Shortcut superstition" is a cult that only Thai people claim.

“There are learning merits passed down from generation to generation.” Then these techniques were secrets that would not let outsiders know.

Most of them only passed on the subjects to the family lineage.

And even more important tips are often not written.

In the end, that subject dies with people as well, just as “sects, palaces, or other superstitious ceremonies” do not teach outsiders.

"Whoever wants to learn must be a disciple" because it is the belief of a small group of people inherited from each other.

do not spread

and there is a question

"Is there a real superstition ritual?" In my personal opinion, I believe that

“There is both truth and deceit.” In particular, non-profit ceremonies often have certain connections that can really help eliminate and alleviate suffering for others.

causing people to still have a bond of respect for each other to this day

For example, "superstitions" about the treatment of catching ailments.

Protection against danger caused by ghosts or invulnerability.

It has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.

It was written as a textbook through the experiences of each era to the present. Therefore, if this story didn't exist, the aforementioned things would have been lost over time.

Instead, it branched out into several branches.

"Until the superstition occurs in every class in Southeast Asia", just that the current way of life of people has changed.

“Some magic or superstitions” are incompatible with the modern era.

Therefore, no one will continue to let many postpone disappear as well.

Therefore, “the group intentionally shows its influence in public relations for the purpose of benefit” is not studying the subject directly and is completely correct.

“The ritual has also been re-created” to promote marketing in line with the current generation.

Observed from rituals, beliefs are often not durable.

After a while, all deceit or vanity appeared.

I would like to suggest that this issue

“In today's information is easier to find than in the past.” Sometimes you may have to keep up with the news of what is happening in society as well.

The more you have to spend a large sum of money, you should know how to always ask questions before you believe.

Because many people are victims of exhaustion, often do not follow the news of the country's events and are easily deceived.

Moreover, the important person is the "people around".

"Should have to help remind" by keeping nudged to provide accurate information.

“But don't use the forbidden method,” because belief is often irrational.

“The more you stop is like the more you push it.” It's like a "cat" when pulling its tail, it always moves forward.

Ultimately, faith is part.

"In the device that binds the mind to consciousness to live life" as long as the belief does not go against the law to cause trouble for anyone.

Society must respect that person's decision.
