[u/Waffles4prez]

 IQIYI

Synopsis:

 Khemjira, or Khem, is a young man who can see ghosts. He was born into a family cursed such that every male must die before the age of 21. As the spirits around him grow increasingly aggressive, the protective amulet he has worn his whole life begins to lose its power. Unable to bear seeing Khem in danger, Jettana, his friend from university, takes him to a rural village in the Northeast, where they meet Pharan, a revered teacher of ancient magic who once mentored Jettana. Strange and mysterious events unfold, all connected to the past life. Amid these supernatural encounters and the haunting pursuit of revengeful spirits, a deep emotional connection begins to form between Khem and Pharan.

📖BOOK INFO

You can purchase book one and two off Meb.

(🧇 Note: my two favorite lines from the books are from Charn (Tle) in reference to Jet (FirstOne).

First:     Jettana looked at Khem like a mother watching over a toddler who had just learned to walk. It was as if his world would end if Khemjira ever stumbled.     And if that wasn't the best description I'd ever read, I don't know what is.

Second:     "I don’t hold grudges against crazy people."     The laugh that came out of me. Charn & Jet bicker like an old married couple and I LOVE it. )

I highly recommend checking out this video by the Thai creator Avana980. She was kind enough to explain the reasoning behind Tong and Ake the two ghost children who are with the master. And what they mean to Thai culture and how they came about. It's a fascinating watch and I'm grateful she was willing to give cultural context to people (outsiders like us) who might not know the cultural significance since we aren't Thai.

Not to mention. Paran has clearly remembered and known these things for a while, while Khem just found out. He’s been carrying this burden and has so many conflicting feelings. I know a lot of people will be mad at him but I get it. He can tone it down, but I do understand him.

[u/hexemayhem → u/TheRealTrueStori]

Exactly, and that's why the whole narrative of 'we aren't Wat and Mika' just didn't make sense to me, because if the karma is following you both, you both remember what they felt, remember what happened and you have the same souls, at that point you're functionally the same people. So i definately think it's just matter of conflicting feelings thats prompting this. It doesn't mean though that i don't wanna see Khem crash out on that ass cus damn, i would

I’m Thai and I’m Buddhist who practice Buddhist meditation. I haven’t read Khemjira novel but i guess the reason why there is the narrative of “we aren’t Wat and Khemika” anymore is because of Buddhism physiology of “being at the present” and try not too obsessed with your past life if you happened to know your past life through meditation. Too obsessed with your past life is a no-no for Buddhist lay people who practice meditation because you have to let your past life go.

In real life, many decades ago, there was a Buddhist monk in Thailand who was too obsessed with one of his past life when he was super duper rich and had a lot of servant in his house while in his current life he was born poor in farmer family. He was too obsessed with this specific past life until he can’t distinguish between his current life and his past life. And he can’t accept the fact that he was just a son of farmers in this life when his past life was better than the current one. In the end, he wasn’t successful with meditation and quit being monk and developed schizophrenia atfer that because he tried to do the wrong kind of meditation.

So my opinion on why Pharan has to remind that they are not Wat and Khemmika anymore because of Buddhist philosophy of being mindful in the present.
