Sacred Herbs in Thai Buddha Magic

04/11/14 • 8 min

Episode three of Ajarn Spencer Littlewood's self made documentation of the cultivation of the first few Sacred Herbs and other plants, which will be installed in the living Museum of sacred and magical herbs, flowers, and other types of plants. Thiis short videocast shows 'Paya Wan Chang Pasom Khloeng' in Male and Female forms, which is only one of the various successfully cultivated herbs, with the lucky event of one of these rare sacred root-bulb based plants rendering flowers. A lucky event of one of the plants bursting out into bloom has occurred, allowiing Ajarn Spencer to photograph and later also video-document the rare flower. The plant has been asked about many times through the http://Thailand-Amulets.net website, because of its multiple mentions, in the descriptions of the making and contents, of many sacred Amulets which are written up within that website. This particular video cast, hence, it will be interesting to those who study and collect amulets which use herbs of this type of Maha Sanaeh attraction and charm magic.

This Second introductory pod cast before we begin to tell the tale of the Thai Ramakien, denotes the first list of some the main protagonists, split into two factions. These two factions are the two different sides to war against each other, which is the issue that is used to maintain the continuance of the story throughout the whole epic myth. The reason they were against each other, is because one of the sides, namely, the Yaksa (ยักษ์), who serve, under the command of the Demon giant Totsagan (Ravana), make the mistake, of kidnapping the newlywed princess and wife of Prince Rama are as we call him in the Thai Ramakien; "Pra Ram". This is of course, the lady Sita, who we call "Nang Sida" in Thai. A whole quest begins in order to recapture the princess, and return her to her husband. Around this central theme, the story unfolds into a multitude of different Sub chanters, which are worthy of the title of epic myths, in their own right. This mini pod cast gives a short list and a very short explanation of each of the major role players and protagonists who will be seen to reappear often during the story.

This pod cast talks somewhat about the 12 sense bases, and their inner, and outer objects. However, the talk, also Delves into a multitude of other related topics all which are assistive in deepening one's understanding of contemplative introspection in Thai Buddhist Vipassana,and subsequently, the path, to enlightenment. The Talk is a long meander which drifts from the topic of the sense bases, to investigate and proliferate upon related issues and influential factors in the Human perception and the awareness of pervieved phenomena and the chain of events which trigger thoughts, emotions, actions and subsequently entrapment in Samsara, the world of Illusory Dualistic Linear Thought. Thought is a Prison, Awareness arises in its purest state, only when the Human conditioned thought process stops. Thinking in Words is not Spontaneously Being one with all things, and reacting accordingly in Nature. Thinking in words, is is merely self entrapment in illusory Chimeras of Thought.. words. Beyond words, and thinking in words, lies the formless realms of Arupa Jhana. This is the meditative state and access point which opens up the necessary insights, and realisations, which will make one able to understand, and eventually see, the true path to Liberation, and Self Enlightenment
