Those who receive a Sak Yant are usually given firm instruction by their master to observe certain prohibitions — a custom handed down since ancient times, kept to preserve the potency of the yant and the good fortune of the bearer.
The Most Common Prohibitions
Every samnak sets its own rules, but the ones held in common are these: never curse or disrespect your parents, never insult your masters or the sacred, and never commit grave moral wrongs. Some samnak add dietary prohibitions — no winter melon, sponge gourd or bottle gourd — and, following ancient custom, forbid walking beneath a staircase or a clothesline.
The Heart of It All Is Virtue
At their core, all of these prohibitions ask the same thing: that the bearer of the yant be a good person — moral, and respectful of those to whom gratitude is owed. As the belief goes, "a yant is potent when its bearer lives rightly." The yant thus becomes a constant reminder to walk the righteous path.
As for the specific observances of the samnak of Ajarn Noo Ganpai, the Ajarn gives detailed guidance after every session — or you can ask in advance via LINE @g123.
