Buddhists/"Thaism"

Question
Sorry my friend, what you are offering is not Buddhism.  It is "Thaism".  Buddhism is about the pure teachings of the Buddha, without stupid rites and rituals, amulets and black magic, superstitions and mumbo-jumbo.  This is the wrong site for you!!

Answer
With all due respect, sir.  I practice buddhism all the time with my whole heart.  My understanding about buddhism stays in balance between faith and wisdom.  The stuff you called black magic may be just a phenomena we all experience IF YOU REALLY PRACTICE ON THE RIGHT WAY.  If you can only read and don't do the practicing, the best place to be in on DEBATING PODIUM.  Yes, there is commercial practice of selling amulet.  But there is a purpose on that.  If only you practice more and don't only read.  You will learn and grow up maturely one day.  I wish you luck with all due respect.
