THIS kind of thing enrages Jesus and I, but it is all too typical of what I have to deal with as part of my Ministry to the slants. Buddhist demon worshipers are lining up to get blasphemous tattoos etched on their scrawny little yellow hides by monks who worship an obese chink who dies thousands of years ago. They don't know Jesus at all, and frankly are not very interested in His love for us all.
Thousands Gather In Thailand To Receive Magical Tattoos From Buddhist Monks
For thousands of Buddhist devotees, this is reason enough to make the journey to Wat Bang Phra temple in Thailand for the Sak Yant festival every March.
Sak means "tap tattoo" and Yant translates into "sacred design." During the festival, Buddhist monks deliver sacred tattoos to devotees, who believe these designs can ward off physical harm, bestow good fortune and offer healing powers.
The tattoos are made with a "mai sak" -- a long bamboo stick sharpened to a point. The ink is made from various ingredients and can include snake venom, herbs and cigarette ash. Once the tattoo is completed the monk blesses and blows onto the ink to infuse it with power. The tattooed are then supposed to abstain from drinking, stealing, lying, drugs and alcohol.
