How does this work ?

....... maybe the same way a statue of Kwan Yin, Buddha or some famous monk works.
Yesterday my wife got a small ceremonial knife that belonged to a famous monk of the past.
She was so happy.
Then I mentioned the ones I own............
I have seen more statues in Buddhist homes then I have seen in Christian homes. Same holds true of Temples versus Churches.
