Many people die which bring a shock, panic, and fear within the human mind. In Thai society, there is also a talk about chanting the repulsion of Covid-19, which seems to be both positive and negative. Although evidence of rationality could not confirm that there is the Ratanasutra chanting in the Buddhist era. But with the power of the chanting made serious disasters in the past calm abruptly. It reminds one the similarities to the current events that Thai society is facing. Even today, the Thai Buddhist monk still chants the Ratana Sutra every time the Buddha's water is made.
