Guman Thong is the religous holy item of Thais. Anyone can possess Guman Thong as long as they can treat it well. The only difference lies in whether the holy item is a genuine one or fake one. The genuine one are produced after so much effort, money and time spent in the process of finding, researching and producing. The skills knowledge and experience needed are handed down from generation to generation through a very long period. Thus, the quality of the fake one cannot be compared at all with the genuine one.
Most of the people buy holy items not just because they want to seek peace. They spend so much of money for them and for sure it is more than just finding peace in mind. Looking for holy items sellers who have been living in Thailand for a long time and who always get in touch with masters who make the holy items are far better than those whom you heard of their greatness form other people. At least, the chances of you buying a fake or low quality holy item are low, so you can have a more efficacious holy item.
At present, there are many versions of way to treat Guman Thong. Probably it is because Guman Thong is very special and unusual. Some say need to offer raw meat. Some say cannot use sandalwood. So, which are the correct ways? The following are the standard and appropriate treatment that should be given. Those who are still worried may go to Thailand to justify it.
1. For drink, Guman Thong owners can prepare a glass of milk, red drink and plain water everyday for their Guman Thong. If they cannot get red drink, then they can have fruit juice or tangerine as a replacement. They should prepare at least a glass of milk if they cannot prepare all.
2. For food, they can prepare fresh fruit, sweet food, rice and vegetables everyday for their Guman Thong, or at least one of the food everyday. For those who are busy, they can do it at least once a week.
3. When preparing food their Guman Thong, should not forget to burn incense regardless of the types. It can burn incense at other time too. Each Guman Thong has their favourite incense so it can burn the type that the Guman Thong likes. There is no such thing like prohibition. This is arguable and those who are worried about this can do it according to which they think is more appropriate.
4. It should invite your little child, the Guman Thong to have meal together. You may prepare another chopsticks but it is not necessary.
5. Guman Thong owners should memorise well the incantations. Incantations are like nutrients for children. Some incantations are for certain occasions and some can be used for all situations. Incantations must be passed on to Guman Thong owners by the qualified master so that they are efficacious. Those incantations that are taken without permission are not allowed and will not be efficacious.
6. Guman Thong can be placed at anywhere as long as the place is clean.
7. Guman Thong owners must spend more time in being together with their little children and talking to them so that they can have a better relationship.
8. Guman Thong owners should show respect to the holy items. They should not walk across the holy items or treat them like slaves. They must always remember that they depend on each other.
9. Be it Guman Thong or Ghost kid, the relationship between them and their owners are inseparable. This is the most fundamental principle so the owners must be moral and behave well. Once the morals of hteir owners are raised to a higher level, it will benefit the little children.
10. The good deeds done are not just for the little children but also for the Guman Thong owners themselves. The owners should chant accordingly. They should first understand well the scriptures before they do the chanting. However, Letian (樂天) suggested strongly that doing welfare work is far better than chanting, but if one can do both, it is even better.
11. Guman Thong owners can wear Guman Thong at anywhere except putting it in the pocket of the trousers.
In case you hear of different ways of treating Guman Thong and you have no way to justify it, you are advised to try this standard methods before going to Thailand to seek justification.
