The 18 North Stars of Arhats

Reverend Father Sayakwan Phrachayah Intawongso

Wat Phra Bat Pha Phueng, Lamphun Province

There is a saying that stars cannot fall down, so whoever has a star above them cannot fall down. “Having a star above them will overcome fate and bring immediate success to your life.”

“The 18 Arhats’ North Star” is believed to be above the stars, supporting the stars like a cat with 9 lives, making one rich and successful, having charisma, being superior to others, making business and trade successful, and having wishes fulfilled.

Owners of companies, owners of shops, and business owners, carry it with them, believing that it is the North Star, will not decline, will not fail, will not sink, will be good in every way, will progress in everything and be higher every day. While chanting, when you perform a worship ceremony, read the incantation, the moon becomes bright, but the stars shine in competition with the sun. This is a virtue that has a good meaning, pulling you up, leading you to victory ahead, higher, better, more prominent above mountains, above people, above anyone.
