As an enthusiast of Thai amulets I have collected many khata for various pra(amulets). If one were to have collect 10 pra than there will be 10 different khata specifically for each one of them. These are provided for on the paper wrapping supplied together with the pra when purchased at shops or collect directly from temples. If we find it difficult to practise memorising each khata for each pra there is another option.
This practice is simple yet powerful. In fact even at major conscreation the ceremony sometimes started with chanting of the below 3 prayers. Thereafter followed by the others. This is a general khata yet powerful one.
