The Truth About Leklai –
A Thai Mystery
Some of the what
you are about to read is not
documented in any reference
books and is generally only
known to monks who have studied
and practiced this ancient art
for decades….so please consider
this privileged information:
Introduction
Leklai is
probably one of the most famous
sacred substances in Thailand.
It is believed
that this particular sacred
substance can release magic
powers in a variety of ways but
particularly in helping
worshippers from danger and
expelling dangerous enemies or
animals.
Even today, there
are not many people who can
actually describe the properties
of this sacred substance in much
detail. But this has not
prevented many powerful and rich
businessmen obtaining amulets
that supposedly contain leklai.

The fact that we cannot
see or cannot prove the
existence of something
does not mean it is not
real. Supernatural
phenomena such as traces
of a naga slithering
down some places in the
north-eastern provinces
or photographs or video
tapes that accidentally
recorded an image of
something like a ghost
are what people doubt
but cannot utterly deny.
In Thailand there is a
substance that cannot be
explained by the laws of
science. Yet, some
people have great faith
in this amulet's
protective power. It is
leklai, which literally
means fluid metal.
Moreover,
it has been reported on
many occasions that
individuals have lost
their lives in the quest
to source this grail of
substances, many in deep
inaccessible caves
hidden in dense jungles. |

Some have even
suggested that this material is
an invention or creation of an
over enthusiastic imagination
and have demanded to see the
power with their own eyes.
How strange it
may sound that this material is
so rare that there do not appear
to be any consistent reports of
its appearance or properties.
Some say a rare alloy of metals,
others say a kind of Thai plant,
and others say mercurial in
appearance.
One of the more
credible theories about Leklai
is that it is a kind of
substance only obtainable from
the air around us. But why you
may ask, have I seen images of a
mercurial liquid, which is
probably the most popular
interpretation.
The reason
suggested is that the guru monk
has sufficient powers to
accumulate the gaseous leklai
and condense the material into a
liquid solid.
In contrast many
senior monks have said nothing
can be added to leklai, it is a
creation of mother nature alone,
it is neither reinforced by
metal or by spiritiual power.
Old Thai beliefs
say that Leklai was a mercurial
solid found in deep forests or
the mysterious caves, this
theory is still supported by
some countries such as China and
Tibet, who strongly believe in
the magic of Leklai, and you
will often hear it called “The
Heaven Metal”.
According to the Thai dictionary
of the Royal Institute, lek-lai
is a type of metal said to melt
at candle temperature. It is
also regarded as a rare magical
metal that forms naturally and
possesses biological properties.
The legend of lek-lai is
described in ancient sacred
books as follows. In the time as
old as the Atlantis continent,
there was an ascetic named
Kalaikot, who attained a high
state of serenity via
meditation. This ascetic caused
an element which could become
either solid or liquid and could
disintegrate or cohere to gather
on the wall of the cave where he
was inhabiting. Another ascetic,
who reached the same level of
meditation and whose name was
Kassapa did the same thing.
Historically
there are reports of the ancient
Khmer having created amulets
made from this substance which
was brought to them by a Tibetan
monk.
The Malaysians
also believe in Leklai, and they
called it “Buesi-Sue-lae” which
has the same meaning as the Thai
word Leklai. (moving metal)
The eternal
belief in the powerful and
mysterious leklai has grown
throughout Asia for the last
1,000 years.
