In Thailand amulets named under the name of "Watuu. Mongkhon" are highly worshipped regardless of class, age, and educational background. "Watuu" means material. "Mongkhon", prosperity or happiness. This paper examines the efficacy of "Watuu Mongkhon" from two perspectives. First, from the religious rite's points of view. Secondly, from the sociological points of view. From the concecrational rite, efficacies of "Watuu Mongkhon" reconcile itself to "Saksit" or sacredness of the Buddha, ingregents of the relics of the reverend monks, and the Pali chanting during the concecration. After handing down to the lay society or "sold" to the consumption society in other words, "Watuu Mongkhon" becomes the "cultural capital" for acquiring the "distinction" of the beholder. And it brings the worshipper "Mongkhon" as faithful to its meaning in Thai. It is not only a material but which conveys the holiness of the Buddhism by nature. That is the reason why the worshipper look for the "most effective" ones and among the worshipper so many discouses on their miracles and prosperities brought to the beholders are interwoven.
