Do u know why majority of the Chinese ppl like to condemn Thai Buddhism and say that it is evil?
And say Thai Buddha amulets and Statue are Black magic
Well, I know where you are coming from. If it is those typical non-Buddhist Chinese, they would think in such a way due to ignorance in religious knowledge.
It is a common perception, even among non-Chinese especially the Malays, who usually have the impression that Thai Buddhists commonly practice black magic, etc. As explained in an earlier question, there is no such thing and no, not every Thais or Buddhists in Thailand know anything about amulets or black magic.
I don't blame you or others for looking at Thai Buddhism at another different angle as there are many Thai monks themselves who are tarnishing their own reputation by producing amulets and not keeping up to their observance in the monastic codes. Then again, as I have always advised, if there is a demand, then there is always supply. Society should be well educated in this aspect/manner and know up to a certain level about genuine monks from fakes.
Another reason for this is money. Many people escape the materialistic world in order to become a Buddhist monk out of laziness. They cannot take their responsibility well enough in lay life and once they have entered the monastic order, they still slack in their duties and become lazy in their practices but taking offerings from society, while not being worthy of offerings. Thus, such an impression will lead to negativity and in the eyes of a lay person and this is not a very encouraging sight.
