Actually nowadays the main stream of customers come mainly from chinese…
But due to the fierce conversion of other religions the customers are getting smaller
The magazine is bimonthly so try to go around singapore to look for amulet shops especially the ones that regularly send amulets for competition to check whether the amulet is real or not
Recently just bump into 1 of the owners of the magazine…wonder is it TS?

Just to inform of this new scam as many got shock and I nearly got into quarrels when I tell people they got scammed…
$1 worth of fake amulet encase in 24K gold amulet casing total cost about $20++ can sold for $250 to $2000 and even more…
Please note the gold casing cannot be opened at all to examine the amulet more clearly so the buyers will buy it when they are even not very sure whether it’s real
But they think where got fake amulets case up in 24K gold casing so they buy it…and how DUMB…
Nowadays amulet sellers even come up money to publish magazines to promote their amulets made from factories…
So do buy amulets with discreetion…or best just don’t buy and believe in Buddha’s teachings

2. Vinaya – Rules of Monasteric life . This contains the explaination of the origination of the rules, and under what circumstance buddha made the regulations to be observed by the Sangha
Sad to see a lot of them did not observe the rules
Well I have started to avoid those that did not observe the rules

Love? Love brings pain and madness. Belongs to the 3 poisons category
If you have happiness, you will have sadness once you are not happy…
Happiness is pleasure…
If you are not happy for a moment you are suffering…
No MIDDLE WAY preached by Buddha?
By the way above look more like snake/serpent than naga/dragon

As long as we practice what buddha teach us, those deva and other protectors will feel touched and automatically attracted to protect us.
It helps us to clear obstacles on the path of enlightenment.Well I will re-phrase a bit hope you understand what I mean
As long as we practice what buddha teach us, the OBSTACLES on the path of enlightenment are LESSONS for us to learn and explore whether it is karma or habitual or it’s really time to find out more.
This OBSTACLES arises from ourselves on the path of enlightenment.
So it is only WITHIN ourselves the obstacles can be solved.SIMILE at the problem or be FRUSTATED at the problem are decided by your very self

The term dharma protector did not ease sufferings
It increases people madness to connect to this term and craves for it
If a person does not conducts in a way that is dangerous he/she does not need to be protected
Pity nowadays people don’t teach right view right thought right path right action right speech right moral etc…
But people like to sell shields for their bad karma
