wai khru

The annual teacher-honoring ceremony held across Thai traditional arts, from muay thai to sacred tattooing to the esoteric schools that produce amulets. Practitioners return to their master or temple to renew the bond and, tradition holds, the power of what was transmitted. Some temples time their most important annual consecrations and productions to the wai khru gathering.

Usage

The temple's signature amulets are made once a year at the wai khru ceremony.
