What are the main functions of Chongdi Buddha card

Many disciples who believe in gods and Buddhas are familiar with the Chongdi Buddha amulet, which is the most famous amulet in Thailand. Many believers around the world come to Thailand to seek the amulet. What are the special functions of this star amulet in the Buddhist amulet world? How effective is it? Today we will learn about the complete knowledge of Chongdi Buddha card.

What is Chongdi Buddha card

Chongdi Buddha amulet is known as the "King of Buddha amulets" and is also known as the "life-saving Buddha amulet". It is one of the most famous Buddha amulets among collectors and devotees in Thailand and around the world. Chongdi is the most noble meaning in Buddhism, created by the great master Yazando around the year 2382 in the Buddhist calendar. The earliest Chongdi Buddha card created by him had no face, and the Dharma throne had three layers, representing the three realms of heaven, earth, and man.

The later appearance of the Chongdi Buddha amulet also included five and seven levels, as well as a free fortune telling website（ http://www.zhouyi.cc/ ）Nine floors, and in recent years there have been eleven and thirteen floors. The soil, pollen, bayberry ash, hair of high monks, and robes of temples are the best materials for making Buddhist plaques. Then invite high monks from famous temples to perform rituals and recite sutras for the Buddha statues to bless the plaques. Due to the fact that the Chongdi Buddha card can ensure peace, ward off evil, avoid danger, block disasters, and help people's relationships, anyone who wears the Chongdi Buddha card will be blessed by the gods as long as they have good intentions. Their family will be harmonious and everything will go smoothly and well.

Chongdi Buddha amulet is one of the most famous Buddhist amulets among collectors and devotees in Thailand and around the world. Wearing the Chongdi Buddha card can ensure peace, ward off evil, avoid danger, ward off disasters, help people get along well, and ensure smooth sailing in everything. In the past century, there have been countless stories reported by Shanxin about the miraculous experiences after wearing the Chongdi Buddha card. For example, someone fell from a high place, but he wore the Chongdi Buddha card and was not injured; When driving a car, a traffic accident occurred and the driver was unharmed due to wearing a Chongdi Buddha badge, while the car was completely unrecognizable... As for the value of Chongdi Buddha badge, according to newspaper reports, someone once exchanged a car for a Chongdi Buddha badge, and someone exchanged a house for it. If the Chongdi Buddha card is made by Pra Putacharn Somdej Toh Promrangsli (founder of Chongdi Buddha card), it is even closer to an invaluable treasure.

Pra Putacharn Somdej Toh Promrangsli（SomdejToh）， He is the creator of the Chongdi Buddha card. The Chongdi Buddha card he created has no face, and the Dharma throne has three layers, representing the three realms of heaven, earth, and man. The later appearance of the Chongdi Buddha amulet has five, seven, nine levels, and in recent years, there have been eleven, thirteen levels.

The materials used by SomdejToh to make Chongdi Buddha plaques include temple soil, incense ash, hair of high monks, relics, robes, etc., all of which are the best materials for making Buddha plaques. Then use the best scripture Chinabunchorn to bless the Buddha's tablet. The scripture Chinabunchorn was obtained by SomdejToh from an ancient scroll in Sri Lanka, and is a scripture that asks the Buddha to bless good faith and bring good luck to it. One reason why SomdejToh's Chongdi Buddha amulet is so famous among believers is that he uses the Jinabunchorn scripture to bless the Buddha amulet. The Chinabunchorn scripture is the highest level scripture, and if other scriptures are recited together with the Chinabunchorn scripture, the power of the other scriptures will disappear, leaving only the power of the Chinabunchorn scripture.

So why did SomdejToh make the Chongdi Buddha card to bless believers?

It is said that one night, SomdejToh was meditating when an old man in white suddenly appeared. SomdejToh could tell that this old man in white was a god, so he asked him, "Sir, the reason why I can see you is because I have been practicing and studying Buddhism for many years. So, is your arrival because there is something wrong with me in the process of spreading Buddhism? Or do you give me some advice

The old man in white said, 'Toh, you have done a good job in spreading Buddhism, but have you ever thought about making some Buddhist plaques to bless people?'? And we need to use methods to strengthen the Buddha's amulet. Once you make these Buddha plaques, it will be a great merit SomdejToh said, 'Sir, I humbly listen to anyone's advice, so how should we proceed with the practice?' The old man in white then told SomdejToh how to proceed with the practice of blessing the Buddha tablet.

Before the old man in white left, SomdejToh focused on communicating with him, listening to his advice and methods. Finally, the old man in white said before leaving, "Toh, if you need my help, recite the Chinabunchorn scripture So in the future French, SomdejToh would recite the Chinabunchorn scripture, and the old man in white would appear to help SomdejToh complete the French blessing of the Buddha tablet.

SomdejToh comes from Wat Rakang, who became very famous because of SomdejToh. Even after the passing of SomdejToh, the eminent monks of Wat Rakang continued to produce effective Chongdi Buddha cards using SomdejToh's method. Therefore, today, Wat Rakang's Chongdi Buddha cards are collected by many people.

(1) Three temples dedicated to the Chongdi Buddha plaque

Wat Rakang

Watt Getchaiyo

Wat Bangkunprom is actually now divided into Wat Int and Wat Mai

However, why are the Chongdi produced by these three temples so highly sought after? There must be a connection between these three temples and Master Yazando, but the fundamental reason is that these three temples have Thai Buddhist amulets blessed by Master Yazando. Even if a small piece of broken Buddha tablet is collected, the efficacy of the Buddha tablet supervised by Master Yazando is still effective. It is said that Master Yazando once said, "Even if there is only one grain of powder, Chongdiwalakan still has strong power." Due to Master Yazando's lock on the Buddhist scriptures, even if countless Buddha amulets are broken and remade, their efficacy and magical power will not change. This is the unique feature of Chongdiwalakan and the reason why Buddha amulets containing Chongdiwalakan crushed materials are highly sought after.

It is understandable to consider Valacan as the main temple, as he was once the abbot of the temple under the leadership of Grand Master Yazando. And Master Yazando also practiced several times in Wamankun, and finally passed away at Wamankun. Wamankun is undoubtedly one of the main temples of Yazando. However, Wagyu is a temple where Yazando did not practice. Why is it so valued? Wagacha You is located in Antong Prefecture, where Yazando lived when he was a child. It is said that Guessing You is the name of Yazando's father and mother. Therefore, there is a saying about the mother's family of Yazando.

In Antong, which is considered a small rural area, the scale of tile guessing is not small. A large Buddha statue has been built in the main hall, which is beautiful enough to collide with Wamankun. Due to its location by the river, Wajiyou is inevitably hit by floods during the rainy season. As a result, under the erosion of consecutive years of floods, the pagoda of Wajichiyou inevitably collapsed. During a Buddhist temple construction, some of the Buddha statues and pagodas in the temple collapsed due to vibration, and Chongdi was found inside the collapsed pagodas and Buddha statues. Apart from the similarity between the powder and Valacan Chongdi, the design style is surprisingly very different from Valacan's three-layer Chongdi. The characteristics of Wageqiaoyou Chongdi are large ears, toothed chest, five, seven or nine layers of base. Therefore, later generations referred to this type of Chongdi as Wageqiaoyou Chongdi.

But was it made in Wajie Chaiyou by Chongdi? The answer is negative. Because Yazando did not provide footnotes for Gueyou in Wagyu, it is naturally impossible for him to create Chongdi in Wagyu. Where will Yazando make tiles for Chaiyouchongdi? It could be Vamankun's collision, or it could be Valacan's.

(2) Origin of Chongdi Buddha Plaque

It is said that around the year 2382 in the Buddhist calendar, the famous Quranic Temple in Thailand, translated as the Ancient Bell Temple in Chinese, saw the emergence of a Zen meditation and spiritual practice monk named Ajanta. At that time, he was the second generation host of Qula Jinfo Temple, and his teacher is said to be a Arhat Zhengguo Shifu who has been cultivated. He is the founder of the Walakan Buddhist Temple, often demonstrating his divine ability to transform all sentient beings and help those in need. His spirit of saving lives and difficulties is highly respected by the local people. One day, while meditating, Master Yazando suddenly heard his master's voice: "The sunrise tomorrow morning is very special, my disciple. Get up early and go to the beach to watch the sun and go out!" Yazando dared not neglect it, and ran to the beach before dawn.

It is strange to say that at that time, the sky was not yet bright, but a white light slowly emanated from the east. First, the sharp corners of the feet, then the dome, followed by the white light of the Buddha's head, and finally the most perfect meditation Buddha statue, presented on the east sea. There were three layers of Dharma seats under the Buddha's body, representing the full Dharma of the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha's three treasures.

Master Yazando shed tears of joy and prayed loudly, saying, "Thank you for your gift, Master. This Buddha statue that rose from the sun first will surely bring happiness and peace to humanity. I will give it to everyone, and anyone who wears or worships it will have everything going smoothly, build a wide circle of people, and bring endless wealth and happiness. As instructed by Master Yazando, his disciples will bow three times." After bowing, Master Yazando remembered the Buddha who appeared on the sea in his heart, and the sun gradually rose.

After Master Yazando returned, he immediately personally crafted this bright and solemn Buddha statue. He used sutra powder, incense ash, holy soil, leftover rice grains from monks, shaved hair of monks, bananas, grains, and other sacred objects as raw materials to make various sizes of Buddha plaques. He then invited eminent monks and nobles from various temples to bless and recite sutras for this Buddha statue, making 84000 statues, which were then distributed to believers who came to the temple to make friends.

According to legend, anyone who obtained the revered flute personally made by Azando later rose to great heights. So it also contributes to the priceless value of the current Qu Xi ā n Buddha statue; Due to the effectiveness and perfect shape of this Buddha tablet, it was specially awarded the title of Chongdi Buddha Tablet by the emperor at that time. Yazando was also honored as the first Chongdi Buddhist monk in Thailand at that time. Chongdi is the highest meaning in Buddhism, which shows how revered Chongdi Buddha Tablet was by people at that time. I also learned about it in detail from Taijixiang.

(3) Origin of Chongdi Buddha Card

In 2350, Azanto officially became a member of the Royal Sangha and was stationed in the old town of Vain. He was accustomed to traveling along the waterway from Vain, and the boat people along the way (there used to be many, but now they are relatively few) were his most basic donors. Therefore, decades ago, many people in the Buddhist plaque world also purchased the ancestral Chongdi from the descendants of these boat people along the waterway. Many of Azanto's treasures have reappeared in this way. When and where did Azando start doing Chongdi himself? Based on existing evidence and legends, players infer that around the same time at 236x, production began at the Wa'in Temple and then spread out along waterways and land routes. So the third theory of the origin of Chongdi: Chongdi's appearance originated from Azando, the legend that everyone has heard of. The content is that Azando got inspired by Chongdi's appearance when he woke up to watch the sunrise in the morning. The third theory is not groundless, because in the first two views, whether it is Shankarasu or Longboshen, there is a shadow warrior behind them - Azando. The appearance of Chongdi card in the world is closely related to Azando.

The original Arhat Chongdi style was invented by Sankarasu, and the formula was inherited by Azando. Before we talk about the origin of Chongdi Buddha, let's first take a look at the background at that time. Sankaraj Sook, the teacher shared by the Fourth Emperor and Azando, was also known as Sankaraj Sook, also known as Sankaraj Sook. His status was Chongdi Monk King, named Su, and Sook Sook referred to the mountain chicken, also known as the Mountain Chicken Monk King.

He was born in 2276, during the reign of the last king of the Ayuttaya dynasty, Polongkor. His parents named him "Su", but due to his poor family background, he was sent to a temple as a monk. This child named "Su" showed special wisdom from a young age and was able to easily understand many difficult classics. Shankarasu's life went through the Ayutthaya Dynasty, Thonburi Dynasty, Bangkok Dynasty, and even Rama IV. In that turbulent era, he preserved the Buddhist teachings of Thailand, which was his greatest achievement.

At around 236x, the Thai Emperor wanted to summon Azando to the position of monk official. However, Azando did not want to become an official, so he fled from the temple and went out to travel (which is why later, when the fourth emperor summoned Azando, he also adopted the method of escape, which is his attitude towards becoming an official). He went to Wat Kudeetong in Ayutthaya to find his childhood teacher Lp Krua Seng, who was there at the time. The two of them worked together to create the Chongdi than sang Buddha amulet, and the earliest Chongdi appeared, which is the second view on the origin of Chongdi amulet.

What does the Chongdi Buddha card look like

(1) Chongdi Buddha

Created by Master Yazando, it is said that one day while he was meditating, he heard his master's voice say, "Tomorrow's sunrise is very special. Get up early and go to the beach to watch the sunrise The next day, Master Yazando ran to the seaside. At that time, the sky was not yet bright, but a white light emanated from the east, slowly transforming into a Buddha statue with a white light all over its body. It appeared on the sea in the east, and Master Yazando was so happy that tears streamed down his face. This sun like Buddha statue would surely bring happiness and peace. "Then he bowed and left. Thus, Master Yazando began making the Chongdi Buddha.

One day, while reading Sanskrit deeply, a Sanskrit scripture from Ceylon suddenly fell onto his head. As he picked up the scripture and recited it, he suddenly felt an infinite surge of spiritual energy. Therefore, he decided to translate the scripture into Pali and combined his expertise in scripture to create the "Jinna River". The interpretation of this scripture gathers the spiritual power of Buddha, the five hundred Arhat in the sky, and the guardian gods of the eight heavenly dragons to protect the chanters of this scripture. Wearing the Chongdi Buddha amulet and reciting this scripture can achieve the effects of protecting oneself and warding off evil spirits, having constant benefactors, wealth and auspiciousness, harmonious social relationships, prosperous business, and abundant financial resources.

The materials for making Chongdi Buddha include temple soil, incense ash, shaved hair of high monks, grains, and relics of high monks. Then, famous temple monks are invited to recite sutras for the Buddha plaque, which is very precious. Chongdi Buddha can ensure peace, ward off evil, block danger, help people, and ensure smooth progress in everything. It is said that those who wear Chongdi Buddha, as long as they have a good heart, will have everything smooth and prosperous, and will be blessed by the gods. So far, high monks from various temples have also made Chongdi Buddhas to offer to believers. Chongdi Buddha has no face. At the beginning, the Dharma Seat was mostly composed of three levels representing the three realms of heaven, earth, and man, and there were also five, seven, or nine levels. In the past sixty or seventy years, there have been as many as eleven or thirteen levels.

The materials for making Chongdi Buddha include temple soil, incense ash, shaved hair of high monks, grains, and relics of high monks. Then, we invite high monks from various famous temples to perform grand rituals and recite sutras for the Buddha statue, which is very precious. So far, temple monks of all sizes have also made Chongdi Buddhas to offer to believers. But some malicious individuals, upon seeing this, will create a large number of fake fish eyes and deceive ignorant believers, so those who are good believers must be extra careful. The Thai Buddhist brand Chongdi Buddha has no facial features. At the beginning, the Dharma Seat was mostly composed of three layers representing the three realms of heaven, earth, man, and earth, also known as the Three Treasures of Buddhism and Sangha. There were also five, seven, or nine layers, and in the past sixty or seventy years, there have been as many as eleven or thirteen layers.

(3) The appearance of Chongdi Buddha brand

According to the unanimous opinion of many senior Buddhist collectors in Thailand, the four sided appearance of Chongdi symbolizes stability and prosperity.

The bell shaped hair hood protruding from the front of Chongdi is a representative of the consecration Buddhist temple of Valacan, which reveres Diwalakan. Because Lakang means bell in Thai, this bell, in addition to being placed on a Buddhist plaque, represents not only the commemoration of the Walakan Buddhist Temple, but also the function of releasing oneself and relieving disasters and difficulties. It can also provide the wearer with a golden bell shield, which is impervious to knives and guns and can turn danger into safety.

The Buddha light on the top of the head is actually a representative of wisdom and auspiciousness. Legend has it that it can provide the wearer with the support and induction of Buddhist power, enabling them to handle things calmly and agilely, and also helping to increase wisdom and confidence.

The face of Chongdi in the Buddha tablet has a very unique and meaningful symbol, which is the absence of eyes, ears, nose, mouth and other facial features. The entire Buddha face only presents a smooth round egg shaped face. In fact, this round egg shaped face represents the radiance of the bright sun or the entrance into a noble meditation practice, symbolizing the true Buddha realm without eyes, ears, nose, mouth, body, mind, and self.

The protruding chest shape represents health and auspiciousness, with the auspicious sign of being immune to all kinds of toxins.

The Zen Hand Style represents functions such as the transmission of spiritual sensations and the support of Buddhist power. Legend has it that it can give the wearer a sixth sense of premonition of danger, which may turn danger into safety and transform sharpness into auspiciousness.

The three-layer Dharma Seat is actually the code name for Buddhist treasures, magic weapons, and monk treasures, with the main purpose of emphasizing that this Chongdi is a Buddha. The Buddha amulet with the three treasures of Dharma and Sangha is a rare self-defense holy object and Buddhist treasure in the world today.

(4) Stars wearing Chongdi Buddha badges

In 1986, when star Jackie Chan was filming "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, a sunken skull in his left ear, and a broken bone moved inward, but he did not die. At that time, he was carrying the Chongdi Buddha card, which was issued by Master LP Pae in 2517.

Donnie Yen, also a martial arts star, likes to wear the Kunping Buddhist amulet, while singer Adu is a devout Buddhist and has spent nearly ten million yuan collecting antique Thai Buddhist amulets. In contrast, Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung spent 150000 yuan to purchase the Chongdi Buddha brand and promote her luck after her marriage dispute.

How to wear and worship the Chongdi Buddha card

(1) How to enshrine the Chongdi Buddha plaque

The Chongdi Buddha card is the official card. The official plaque may not be enshrined, while the Yin plaque needs to be enshrined. Regardless of whether the Buddha's amulet is positive or negative, one should frequently recite sutras and mantras. For different Buddhist plaques, attention should be paid to the basic principles of worship and different ways of worship. Most masters advocate that whether it is a "plaque" or a "statue" worshipped, regularly offering incense and chanting mantras are very beneficial. Although in general, if the master does not give clear instructions, there is no need to offer incense for Buddhist amulets! But the smoke burned by incense is a way for people to communicate with spirits, just like a telephone line, so offering incense can help accelerate induction.

And mantras are like phone numbers, if they are wrong, they won't work, so reciting mantras frequently is very important to pay attention to. Yin cards often come with unique heart mantras, which are related to the independent spiritual bodies inside the card. Generally, Buddha cards use universal public mantras and usually do not require special heart mantras. Because most of the general Buddha cards are Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat, or the Dharma of the gods, it is impossible to invite a Buddha's spirit in the card. For example, the difference between the unique heart spell and the public spell is like a public hotline and a direct number, and the appropriate spell has significant meaning for induction.

For the Buddha plaques that need to be worshipped, when it comes to the role of offerings, some ghosts and gods are very obsessed with the style of offerings, especially the sentient beings in the ghost world. Generally speaking, flowers and fruits are the safest choices. However, if you want to have a better correspondence with the ghosts and gods you worship, you need to choose offerings that you love, such as the black offerings of Rahu Tenjin, the smoking and drinking habits of Paopa, and the beauty of female spirits Wait a minute

(2) The taboos of Chongdi Buddha card

When wearing the "official" Buddha amulet, tie the Buddha chain behind the neck and hang the amulet on the chest. Do not hang the amulet around the waist or put it in your pocket (except for the Yantong Buddha amulet and the Yang God Balaji amulet).

When removing the Buddha tablet, please place it in a dry place that is not easily touched to avoid damaging it. The place where the Buddha tablet is placed should not have any dirty objects.

When bathing or swimming, it is not advisable to wear Buddhist amulets because most of the amulet shells are not waterproof and can cause damage to the amulets.

When wearing the Buddha's amulet "main amulet", the "yin amulet" cannot be worn at the same time, and the "main amulet" and "yin amulet" cannot be placed together.

Multiple "official" badges can be worn on the bead chain at the same time, and attention should be paid to maintaining the balance of the bead chain suspension. It is recommended to use odd numbered suspensions for balance.

When couples have sexual intercourse, please remove the Buddhist amulet and do not wear it. At the same time, the Buddhist amulet should be avoided during sexual intercourse.

Do not wear Buddhist amulets to obscene or violent places, such as nightclubs, sex bars, or participate in any violent incidents.

◎ Buddhist amulets are relatively easily damaged sacred objects. When wearing them, pay attention to physical impact or collision, and develop good habits of protecting Buddhist amulets.

When wearing a Buddhist amulet, sexual activity is not allowed. When having sex, the amulet must be taken off.

According to ancient beliefs, when wearing a Thai Buddhist amulet, it must be worn in odd numbers, such as one, three, five, seven... However, in reality, this single and double amulet is not particularly emphasized, it is only for balance, usually with odd numbers.

When taking a shower or swimming, do not wear Buddhist amulets. Do not play with Buddhist amulets when your hands are wet. In short, Buddhist amulets should not touch water. Later, we will introduce how to clean Buddhist amulets!

When sleeping, it is best to take off the Buddha tablet. Apart from the inconvenience of sexual intercourse between married friends and couples, unmarried friends should also remember that sometimes they will sleep on their stomach, which will suppress the Buddha tablet and be disrespectful!

When wearing a Buddhist amulet, one should have good faith in their heart, respect their elders, refrain from insulting them, and avoid using vulgar language

The chain of the Buddhist amulet can be replaced by oneself.

(3) Wearing principle of Chongdi Buddha badge

The Chongdi Buddha card should be worn on the upper body.

When not wearing the Chongdi Buddha amulet, it should be placed in a relatively high and clean place. A small suggestion: For those who can only keep Buddhist amulets and sacred objects in the room, they can put them in a clean and enclosed box, and then place them on a higher table or cabinet.

When wearing the Chongdi Buddha amulet, one should not engage in any behavior that disrespects the amulet, such as sexual intercourse between men and women, watching pornographic movies, articles, and photos, going to pornographic venues, etc.

As the main card, the Chongdi Buddha card cannot be placed or worn together with the Yin Buddha card.

What are the main functions of Chongdi Buddha card

Is it true that the more Dharma seats in the Chongdi Buddha card, the stronger the power?

Firstly, the efficacy of Buddhist amulets is not determined by their appearance or appearance. The powerful spiritual power of Buddhist amulets is determined by a combination of factors such as the master's Buddhist cultivation level, magical power, the timing of creation, the time of blessing, and the materials used. The claim that the more Chongdi Dharma seats there are, the stronger their power is purely groundless.

The Chongdi Buddha amulet was first created by a Thai monk king, who later passed on all the Chongdi Buddhist teachings and spells to his proud disciple, Ajanta. Later, the holy monk Yazando further developed the Chongdi Buddha card, making it the king of Buddhist cards in Thailand today! Because of this, Master Yazando became the founder of Chong Difo brand in the eyes of the Thai people.

In the early days of Chongdi, the Dharma throne had three levels, representing the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity. Initially, it was three, five, seven, or nine levels, with multiple singular numbers. In the 1960s and 1970s, Chongdi, who had eleven or thirteen levels of Dharma seats, appeared again. In fact, the Chongdi Buddha card also has double layered, four layered, six layered, etc., but it is relatively rare. Although the Chongdi Buddha amulet is the youngest among the five ancient Buddhas in Thailand, it is known locally as the life-saving Buddha amulet and the venerable Great Wisdom Buddha amulet. Therefore, the Chongdi Buddha card does not necessarily mean that the more Dharma seats there are, the stronger the power.

The Heart Mantra of Chongdi Buddha Card

Namotasa Bagawato Ahrahato Samma samputatsa

Namoda Sabakawado Alahado Samasa Putdasa

In fact, any Buddhist amulet scripture comes from the Theravada, a sacred language passed down from the Buddha's time, in Pali language. Actually, those are short scriptures, not mantras. Orthodox Theravada Buddhism does not hold mantras. When reciting scriptures, first recite the general scripture, then bow three times, and then recite other short scriptures. If there is a need in your heart, after reciting the sutra, fold your hands together and place the Buddha tablet in your hands, praying devoutly. Then face your forehead, bow three times, and put on the Buddha tablet. Don't worry too much about the pronunciation of the Chongdi Buddha card (Chongdi) Heart Mantra, just worship sincerely.

Chongdi Sutra Mantra

The Jinnibanchuan Mantra was created by a high monk named Chongdi Buddha and personally created by Azando. Its power is extraordinary, combining the protection of the heavenly gods from all directions to subdue evil spirits. It is frequently recited and has immeasurable merits.

So, I am completely protected by goodness. With the power of Buddha's victory, eliminate all troubles, and with the power of the Dharma,

Overcome all obstacles brought by enemies and overcome all dangers with the power of the Sangha.

(Thus am I utterly well-sheltered, well-protected.

Through the might of the Victors, misfortunes are vanquished.

Through the might of the Dhamma, hordes of enemies are vanquished.

Through the might of the Sangha, dangers are vanquished.

Guarded by the might of the True Dhamma, I live in the Victor's Cage.)
