Get to know the belief in 'YAN TRA' that still exists in the present era

We believe that you must have seen amulets through your ears and eyes at some point, more or less. "Yant" is an auspicious object or sacred emblem familiar in Thai society.

The word "ยันต์" (Yant) refers to various characters and patterns in the Pali language, meaning objects worshipped by humans for happiness and prosperity. Typically, Yant items are associated with protection from danger, safety, compassion, and fortune. Their placement varies depending on their purpose.

Fortune, such as the four Yant symbols on MURICO shirts, drawn by Phra Ajarn Ekkaluk Panyakomo of Wat Phutthaporn Yaman, comprises the blessings of the Triple Gem—Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha.
