Worshiping the Kuman Thong doll as a god of luck and fortune is a trend of many business people in Asia. According to spiritual experts, the life cycle of Kuman Thong is longer than that of humans, about 500 to 1000 years, but not longer than the gods. To better understand this famous Thai amulet (talisman), let’s join LotusBuddhas.com to find out what this amulet is and how it works!
What is Kuman Thong?
The Kuman Thong amulet (Kumanthong, Kuman-Tong or Guman-Thong) is also known as the “Golden Boy”, a mystical amulet that can only be found in Thailand. We might wonder why Thai monks created Kuman Thong, right!
The answer is purely out of compassion for the suffering of these children, for lack of conditions to be reborn into a better place. Monks or magician would help these poor children by taking them into a makeshift shelter, such as a patterned pendant or baby figurine.
Monks would take the corpses of infants and use their bones or feathers and hair to form patterns of amulets. For unborn babies (meaning dead in the womb) will be put into the image of a baby lying down and sucking on a pacifier (very cute). The kids are between 2 and 8 years old, usually standing or sitting, and you can also see them carrying some weapons like bows or spears.
Some ferocious spirits will be magician by the shaman with a red cloth, these will take years to clear their karma, and are also very difficult to tame.
How many types of Kuman Thong?
According to Thai charms world, there are two types of Kuman Thong. It is Kuman Thong black magic and white magic.
Black magic Kuman Thong is created from materials such as human bone ash, wormwood powder, leklai stone or Namanprai wormwood oil. These types of mysterious materials are enchanted by the magician to invite the spirit to enter the fetus to become Kuman Thong. Because it is made of “underworld” materials, the black magic Kuman Thong is very strong and aggressive, so he is often blindfolded to limit his strength and tamed slowly.
Kuman Thong White Magic is created from rare natural materials such as herbs, precious woods, herbal wormwood or spiritual oils. According to Thai shamans, the white magic Kuman Thong lineage is gentler and usually does not harm the owner, and is easy to raise and teach. But of course, the power of the white magic Kuman Thong is not equal to the black magic, it only aids and helps the owner’s good results to bloom faster.
Why Worship Kuman Thong at Home?
Initially, the Kuman Thong amulet was created with the purpose of helping the little souls have a chance to escape, by helping their owners, listening to Buddhist scriptures regularly to create good karma, remove bad karma in their lives, past through which they will be reborn into a better realm.
All sentient beings go through samsara and suffering, including humans like us. Therefore, the monks with compassion took care of these little creatures, gave them shelter, ate and played like a normal child, and let them listen to Dharma talks and Buddhist scriptures so that they could have a good time acquire wholesome thoughts and right understanding, that will ultimately free them from suffering.
However, not all child souls can become Kuman Thong. It depends on their karma in their previous lives.
If a person had an abortion in the past life, when they are reborn in the next life, they will face the same fate and die in the mother’s body before receiving the chance to be reborn. Monks or magicians have a way of realizing this.
According to a Thai folk tale, all the child spirits will be brought to a beach and they are required to complete a difficult task.
They can then swim across to the other shore for a chance to be reborn and reunite with their parents. Some souls can’t complete the task or don’t want to, they will return to harass their parents, because they didn’t give them the chance to live like a normal child.
Kuman Thong Dolls are created so that those souls have a chance to be loved, it is also an opportunity for them to accumulate good karma and help their parents (owner of Kuman Thong), they will be reborn in the realm better after completing his mission.
If one really takes good care of Kuman Thong, it will help his benefactor in fulfilling his healthy desires in life. Even if Kuman Thong is reincarnated, it will still return as a god or a good person to help its owner. A lot of people don’t realize that, Kuman Thong can do good or bad depending on the wishes of the owner.
A good owner can teach Kuman Thong to cultivate in the Dharma and accumulate good karma. An owner with poor intellect, evil mind can teach his Kuman Thong to perform bad deeds for their own gain knowing that Kuman Thong has extraordinary abilities.
Kuman Thongs are just small children and their fragile minds can be turned into evil or good deeds according to their master’s will. If the owner teaches Kuman Thong to do evil things then they will be affected by the law of cause and effect and they will receive bad results in their cycle of rebirth.
In the present era, the Kuman Thong amulet is created mainly for the purpose of bringing luck and wealth to business shop owners in order to attract customers into the store and protect the owner from harm. harmful.
Kuman Thong will whisper into their consciousness and they enter the store on some irresistible command. The benefits of raising Kuman Thong talismans are many, however, the parent-child relationship is not always harmonious, especially for a soul who has to suffer as much as Kuman Thong.

How to Worship Kuman Thong Amulet?
Like a child, Kuman Thong loves to eat sweets, candies, chocolate, fresh milk… they also eat rice and eggs like normal people. In particular, the owner must use his own blood to give them to drink every day (a few drops) against aggressive and powerful subjects.
We have to treat them like our own children, we need to teach them what is right and wrong. Regularly let them listen to Dharma, Buddhist teachings to direct their minds to positive things.
If we have good feelings, they will behave the same way, they will help us to overcome any obstacle in life. Kuman Thong is like a naughty child, as parents, we have to punish them if they do wrong and reward toys and clothes if they do well.
How to Get Rid of Kuman Thong?
It is not easy to get rid of Kuman Thong, they are not porcelain pots that you just break or throw in the trash. You also can’t throw them under a tree or somewhere far away, no matter how far you throw them, they will come back and bother you.
If you really want to get rid of Kuman Thong, you have to bring them to a temple (Simpang Bedok temple in Thailand is popular), you have to bring new clothes, lots of sweets, toys… go find a home teacher and tell them you don’t want to keep it anymore.
They will help you chat and put them on the sales table (other customers want to own the Kuman Thong amulet), then you put the Kuman Thong in their hand and tell them to take care of it for you, of course if you don’t have one. Those who want to own them the monks will accept them but you have to pay some allowance.
Although the benefits and purposes of raising Kuman Thong are good, let the monks and magicians do it. As an ordinary person, we just need to live well, think positively and act positively, and turn our minds to the Buddha, then all difficulties and sufferings in our lives will also be overcome.
