The meaning of the Five Buddhas
The Five Buddhas is an old Thai amulet theme: five Buddhas on one piece, so that the wearer is protected wherever they go.
In Chinese Buddhist terms the five are often matched with the Five Wisdom Buddhas: Vairocana at the centre, Akshobhya in the east, Ratnasambhava in the south, Amitabha in the west and Amoghasiddhi in the north. In Thailand "พระ 5 องค์" is mainly about protection from all five directions.
Blessings
- Protection from every direction: at home and on the road
- Wealth: income and business from many sources
- Goodwill: smoother relationships and partnerships
- Safety: personal protection from danger
Note: an amulet supports practice and intention; it does not guarantee any outcome. Wearers are encouraged to keep the Five Precepts.
