The magic turtle makes a comeback


A nun holds a terrapin, whose touch is believed to cure rheumatism and other bodily ailments, as she prepares to treat the head of a villager in Kandal province, 20km (12 miles) west of Phnom Penh, May 24, 2006. Belief in the supernatural healing powers of animals such as turtles, cows and snakes is a relatively common phenomenon in Cambodia. Picture taken May 24, 2006. REUTERS/Chor Sokunthea

Have we ever thought that somethings looked disfigure or out of the ordinary does not possess any magic? One needs to exclude the mythological believe from the S.G. principles of buddhism.

An imaginary religion, come on folks -- it's sound like the adults with regression personality! Pretty soon, Khmers believe the Bullets does not pierce the Flesh. Get real children!
