I saw this modern train in the dream. It was a beautiful bullet train.
I am keen to buy a train set and place the 2 kumantong toy houses along the track and maybe place some toy trees and animals along the track too. I can also park the toy cars beside the houses.
I only have 2 kumantong kids at that time but strangely I already have 4 toy antique cars and 6 toy houses, as if in anticipation of more kumantong adoption in the future.
However I am facing an obstacle. I don't have a place for an altar, even for a small one.
Where am I going to place a train track? So I put this idea on hold.
Whenever I window shop the toy store, I will keep a lookout for train set. Until today I have only seen the antique toy train set. Haven't seen a bullet train set yet.
I always bring along my kumantong kids when I visit the toy stores so they know I am not lying to them. Anyway they know I don't have space for a train set.
When young boys, babies or unborn foetes met unexpected early death, and when their souls, for some reason, are stuck on earth and are roaming the streets, being homeless and hungry; some Buddhist monks in Thailand will invite these souls to accept the Buddha teaching and later invite them to reside in kumantong statue and amulet. Human can adopt these kumantong out of kindness and treat kumantong as adopted son and offer them shelter and food until the time when they are reincarnated.
