มีผู้ถามว่าพระเครื่องที่เป็นของขวัญจะเปลี่ยนมือส่งต่อให้ผู้อื่นได้หรือไม่ พระอาจารย์ตอบว่าขึ้นอยู่กับคำอธิษฐานตั้งใจของผู้สร้าง และอยู่ที่ดวงบุญของเจ้าของ ไม่ใช่กฎตายตัวว่าห้ามเปลี่ยนมือSomeone asked whether an amulet received as a gift may be passed on. Pra Ajarn explains that it depends on the aspiration the maker set when consecrating it, and on the merit of the owner — not on any fixed rule forbidding a change of hands.
A lay follower asked whether a sacred amulet received as a gift may be passed on to someone else — since within groups that acquire amulets, some say the owner must never change.
It depends on the maker's resolve
Pra Ajarn answers that such an object is a gift for a person of . Whether it may change hands depends on the purpose and the aspiration of the one who consecrated it. If the maker resolved that its sacred power should benefit that particular owner of merit, then it follows that intention.
When the maker wishes it to remain in the world
But if the maker wished this good thing to endure in the world, the sacred object naturally passes from one person of merit to another. Wherever it comes to rest, it supports that person's merit and their doing of good.
In short
It all rests on the merit of the owner and on the aspiration the maker set from the very beginning — not on a fixed rule forbidding any change of hands.
