About Amulets

Amulets are objects of worship and protection worn in many Buddhist cultures. A typical amulet is a triangular, flat Buddha image around 15 mm high that can be hung around a believer’s neck on a chain or placed in other locations where it will protect the individual from evil. Amulets are distinct from talismans, which are objects designed to accomplish a goal desired by the object’s possessor, though in practice amulets and talismans are more difficult to distinguish.
