Some of his most popular pims are made from sacred black powder called Phong Phayataoreun, composed of baked soil and bailarn powder. <br />
You will also note that many of his pims are heavily influenced by those created by his sacred teacher LP Parn. <br />
However the most unique feature is often the turtle or Phra Phya Taoreun on the reverse. <br />

As such this is often a favourite amulet of those involved in the legal profession. <br />
<br />
<br />
It was said that if a worshipper writes their name and birth date on a piece of paper and place the amulet upon the paper they would easily win disputes or court battles. <br />
<br />
Another popular application of his amulets is the creation of sacred water to increase charm when meeting a prospective lover, applying the water to the face. <br />
<br />
Luang Phor Kram created many different amulet styles, including Pim Khun Paen, Pim Luang Phor Toh, Pim Kru Wat Bang Krating, Pim Buddha Prokbhoti, Pim Somdej etc.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Phra Phaya Taoreuan</span></strong><br />
According to the Chinese traditional Feng-Shui 風水science “Tao” or turtle is a kind of good-fortune animal because they just kept on walking forward and onward and never backwards, a sign of prosperity, fertility, and long life.<br />
<br />
Feng Shui is a discrete Chinese belief system involving a mix of geographical, religious, philosophical, mathematical, aesthetic, and astrological ideas<br />
<br />
Moreover, it was believed that Lord Buddha was previously born as a Turtle called Phaya Taoreuan, and he had helped protect the lives of other turtles. <br />
<br />
Therefore some senior monks created Phaya Taoreuan amulets to help their worshippers call upon good fortune and at the same time dispel all evil dangers, and troubles. <br />
<br />
It is generally believed that this kind of amulet are ideal for anyone who wants to succeed in businesses.<br />
<br />
These amulets were originally called “Phaya Taoleuan amulets”, because the Thai word “leuan” means “erasing”, and it was believed that these amulets could help worshippers “erase” or “win” their cases in the court, one of the many reasons they are popular with lawyers and other members of the legal profession.<br />
<br />
Latterly it has become more popular to call these amulets as “Phaya Taoreuan amulets”, because the Thai word “reuan” means house or building a more apt description which fits the popular belief that they will bring good fortune into the house or building.<br />
<br />
There’s also other beliefs associated with this amulet and in particular that during Lord Buddha's life as a turtle it was said that his body was as big as a house (or “reuan”), another reason why the amulet is now known as Phaya Taoreuan.<br />
<br />
In general there is no precise naming convention for these amulets, other than that they are popularly known as Phaya Taoreuan amulets.<br />
<br />
Most of Phaya Taoreuan amulets that you are likely to see are made of wood, ivory, coconut shell, soil, sacred powder, metal or in some cases the corpse of an actual turtle.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>The legend of Phaya Taoreuan</strong></span><br />
It was said that Lord Buddha was born as Phaya Taoreuan, and that he lived on the top a mountain. One day a group of hungry merchants who had been travelling for many days without food reached the mountain.<br />
<br />
Phaya Taoreuan rolled down from the top of the mountain and donated his body as sustenance for the merchants. That unselfish donation helped Lord Buddha eventually achieve enlightenment after his 10th reincarnation as Prince Pravessandorn, the great giver.)<br />
<br />
After the merchants ate the meet of the Phaya Taoreuan body they were satisfied and saved form a sure death. They brought the back shell of the giant turtle to their house to worship and ultimately were blessed with great wealth. Since then it was believed that Phaya Taoreuan would bring good fortune, fertility, and getting rid of troubles.<br />
<br />
A part of Lord Buddha’s legend called “Prachao 500 Charti”, it was said that Lord Buddha told his followers about his birth as Phaya Taoreuan who had given his own flesh to save the merchants’ lives, that was a birth of Lord Buddha, who was reborn many times to achieve the highest merit succeeding in his enlightenment.<br />
<br />
It was also recorded that when Lord Buddha was born as Phaya Taoreuan, he had practiced meditation on the top of the mountain until his magic power increased and his body became as big as a house.<br />
<br />
It was during his meditation that he came to know of the famished merchants. At the time Phaya Taoreuan was determined to create a great merit with his own life, therefore he prayed before his death<br />
<br />
“I do not have anything to help save these hungry men, except my body, therefore I would like to donate my life and body as their food to help save them from death. And in return for my merit, I would like to achieve enlightenment in the future.” <br />
<br />
After that Phaya Taoreuan jumped from the top of the mountain, he died as his body collided with a boulder at the base. His body became food for the hungry merchants.<br />
<br />
On returning home home the merchants never forgot Phaya Taoreuan’s mercy and they created a statue in honour. The story was passed down through the generations and Phaya Taoreuan became synonymous with mercy and safety in life.<br />

An alternative account of this story is that which is often depicted in Buddhist art. Buddha in a previous life is a Bodhisattva-turtle (that is: a turtle who has vowed to save all sentient beings).<br />
<br />
A group of merchants were sailing, when a storm hit. The giant Bodhisattva-turtle saw the shipwrek and saved the merchants by letting them climb on his back. He brought them safely to land. Tired from the long swim and heavy load he fell asleep on the sand. <br />
<br />
The merchants were hungry and thirsty and after the ordeal were still not sure of their lives. They discussed amongst themselves how to find food. One of them said that they should kill and eat the turtle.<br />
<br />
The Bodhisattva-turtle heard this and out of compassion for the merchants, decided to stay put and be eaten.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Creation of Phaya Taoreuan amulets in Thailand</span></strong><br />
There have been several discoveries of Phaya Taoreuan amulets in Thailand such as a gold Phaya Taoreuan amulet found in a chedi dating back to the Ayudhaya period. Furthermore it was recorded in Thai history that several Phaya Taoreuan amulets were made in the Krungthonburi period and at the beginning of Rhattanakosin period.<br />
<br />
Most of the modern day Phaya Taoreuan amulets were made of wood or stone and they were originally created to help worshippers win legal battles and court cases..In that case there’s a record saying in evidence as follows;<br />
<br />
“If anyone was accused unfairly, Phaya Taoreuan amulets would help erase that wrong accusation. ”;“If anyone was accused unfairly, Phaya Taoreuan amulets would help erase that wrong accusation. ”<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>Amulet for permanent wealth!</strong></span><br />
It is also generally believed that Phaya Taoreuan amulets possessed magic qualities that would help worshippers win cases in court.<br />
<br />
According to this belief, the worshipper must sit on the back of the Phaya Taoreuan amulet and a monks would sprinkle sacred water onto his body.<br />
<br />
In addition to that the worshipper must write his rival’s name onto a piece of paper and finally the sacred spell of Phaya Taoreuan is overwritten.<br />
<br />
Then the piece of paper must be placed under the Phaya Taoreuan amulet where it should remain until the court hearing was completed. The power of the amulet would cause the rival to communicate his thoughts in a confusing manner. This clearly would be to his detriment and the result would favour the worshipper. <br />
<br />
Monks preferred to use trees or plants with auspicious names to create these amulets such as Ma-kham tree, Ma-yom tree, Ka-noon tree, Song-badal tree, because the Thai words “kham” meant “revered”, “yom” meant “popular”, “noon” meant “support”, and “badal” meant “render good fortune” respectively. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Monks who have created Phaya Taoreuan amulets in Thailand</span></strong><br />
Historically Phaya Taoreuan were created either from cloth, upon which the sacred spell was written, or from auspicious trees. Both would be chanted using a sacred spell to activate the amuet which would call upon good fortune and protection from danger and evil.<br />
<br />
Although the small-sized wooden Phaya Taoreuan amulets were popular amongst experts, they were not particularly popular until Luang Phor Sanit of Wat Lumbualoy, Nakorn Nayok province, created them from stones. people adored these amulets and the popularity has grown ever since. <br />
<br />
Laung Por Sanit had created Phaya Taoreuan amulets in various sizes, some with appearance of a giant turtle and others small enough to be hung from a chain around the neck. <br />
<br />
Moreover, Luang Por Liew of Wat Raitangtong created Phaya Taoreuan coins which were embossed with an image of him sitting on Phaya Taoreuan ’s back. These sacred coins were believed to possess magic power that could help protect from dangers and at the same time attract good fortune. Luang Phor Liews amulets are now by far the most popular and best known amongst the younger generations and collectors alike.<br />

During the ceremony in which he was creating these sacred amulets it is said that many of the turtles climbed from the lake the was adjacent to the temple. Not only that these turtles actually headed towards the ceremony itself within the temple.<br />
<br />
Not surprisingly Luang Phor Suk’s Phaya Taoreuan amulets are scarcely found nowadays. They are made of lead and Shina.<br />

<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Luang Por Boonreun’s Phaya Taoreuan amulets</span></strong><br />
Luang Phor Boonreun of Wat Yang, Bangkok had learnt many magic sciences from Cambodia, and is one of the many reasons that his Phaya Taoreuan amulets were popular. Some of his Phaya Taoreuan amulets were made from pieces of cloth endorsed with the Phaya Taoreuan spell, and some were made of silver and copper. His first series of Phaya Taoreuan coins were embossed with both his picture and Phaya Taoreuan ’s image.<br />

在泰南洛坤府,有一著名警長坤潘,他在任時屢建奇功,破案無數,凡是神秘、危險的場面,他都能趨吉避兇的平安度過,被人尊敬為警察長官。坤潘活了108 歲,逝世于 2006 年 10 月 5 日,約有二十萬民眾到位于洛坤 Si Thammarat 的 Wat Pra Mahathatt瞻仰他,盡管警方封鎖前往寺廟的路,成千上萬的人仍然從夜晚步行至寺廟送坤潘最后一程,可見坤潘多么德高望重,萬人敬仰的正派人物。坤潘與拾到金結緣,起源于一名女乩童,拾到金上她的身,托人去叫坤潘來。當有人奉命去找坤潘時,坤潘已倚門而等,有上千人跟著他去寺廟。 <br />
<br />
坤潘一到寺廟,拾到金馬上開金口說,他等坤潘已等了 1 千 500年,過去因被一位白衣使者封銷風水而發揮不到功力,救不到人。因此囑咐坤潘幫他做一個金身,必須找一棵名為 Theptharo的古樹來雕刻其神像。坤潘在森林找了很久,終于找到一棵 Theptharo古樹,坤潘指示此樹要由中間砍伐,但樹砍倒后,工人卻無法將樹搬出樹林,用盡各種方法都不能移動樹木。坤潘畫了一張虎眼符綁住樹身后,工人就輕而易舉的把樹運峪山來,由坤潘親自雕刻了拾到金神像。 <br />
<br />
1986 年,在洛坤風水地的州政府及人民支手寺和樂捐下,納坤在 1987年成功依拾到金神指示,突破傳統的做了第一枚圓形的拾到金佛牌。當年,泰國的佛牌多是四方形或長方形,當時每一枚的售價僅是泰幣 49元,如今已水漲船高到每枚泰幣一百萬元(約馬幣十萬令吉)。 <br />
<br />
目前,在市場上,你想要花一百萬泰幣來買坤潘所制的第一批拾到金佛牌,聽說擁有者連有人拿一輛馬賽地賓士汽車來換,他們都搖手拒絕,真是千金也一枚難求,一枚經過念經、開光的拾到金佛牌,法力無邊,助人無數,人人戴了,事業順利,財運亨通,這二十年來,洛坤的人,無人不知,無人不曉。 <br />

There are several Elements of the practise that must be respected;One of the Most important Elements being the connecting of spirit and mind with the "Kroo Baa Ajarn" Or "Guru of the Teachings"If you don't have a Kroo Baa Ajarn the you could be in danger of either Madness or Posession (known as Khao Song)Khao Song is not the same as "Song Jao" *A Master of Buddha Magic can attain the state of Song Jao but should definitely not have to be subject to khao Song.<br />
One must know the way to make offerings (known as "Tawaay Krueang Sawaey")to the Kroo Ruesii<br />
One should have knowledge in the Art of writing Spells in the Khorm Language, and be able to meditate in the Vipassana method of stilling the mind.<br />
One should know how to close the ceremony of Wai Kroo correctly, in order to avoid being pestered by ghosts and spirits from other dimensions.One should know the sacred Mantra; "Kataa Chinabanchorn" which was revealed to the world by Hlwong Por Thoe of Wat Rakang.<br />
One should know the full series of Kataa necessary for making magic that is complete in it's execution method.<br />
incomplete ceremonies can endanger one's mental balance, and lead to entropy of the magic power (known as "Khong Sueam" in Thai).<br />
One should learn about the Pitii Rap Khant, and how to perform it.<br />
One should recieve the laying on of the Ruesii Head (Por Gae Ruesii) to connect with the Guru teacher - this ceremony is called "Pitii Korb kroo"<br />

On December 1, 1892, he went to the United Kingdom to attend a naval instruction course. After he graduated in 1900, he became Lieutenant Junior Grade, the equivalent of Lieutenant-Commander nowadays, by Royal order of King Chulalongkorn. He appointed Prince Chumporn Ket Udomsak as Commander on HTMS Maruthawasitsawat.</div><br />

There are many shrines throughout Thailand dedicted to Kromluang Chumphon Khet Udomsak (e.g. at Arunotai). But this shrine near Sairee beach, where he died, is the most important. People come from all over Thailand to pay their respects here.<br />
<br />
The shrine of Kromluang Chumphon Khet Udomsak (or the San of Sadej Kromluang Chumphon Khet Udomsak - "San" being a Thai word for a shrine) is one of the many temples and shrines in Chumphon province. It is a revered place for the people of Thailand.<br />

There is also a small museum containing some personal mementoes and naval items. There is very little written information, and it is only in Thai.<br />
<br />
Mo Phon's Herb Garden is close to the shrine. The name Mo Phon came from Kromluang Chumphon who began to use Thai herbs as the medicine.<br />

就在圣水落在他们身上的时候,就几位海军出现‘上身’的现象,就像猴子猴子那样到处蹦跳。后来,将军就叫手下讲他们制服,然后问他们,身上有什么好料?<br />
他们说:他们是LP Ding, wat bang wua的弟子,身上戴着用木雕刻成的猴像。<br />
将军听后就说:“这位师父厉害!”<br />

对于这些人们,LP没有拒绝他们,哪怕是一位。LP只是不断的帮他们解决疑难,帮助他们。<br />
“他来找我帮他,我就必须帮。只要能够帮的,我都去帮。寺院与民众,是应该互相帮忙的,在现今的社会,有的只是激烈的竞争与冷漠的人心,但是在地球上的这个角落,村民都知道,只要有什么困难,他们都会去找这位高龄的长者。。。<br />

“我们死了之后,就算把钱含在嘴里也带不去。。。只有自己生前所做过的善事,这是最值得最有意义的事。而我们离开后,也留下善名让世人记得。”<br />
<br />
LP说:在他刚出家的时候,他对法术经文并不感兴趣。他只是专注的学习经典佛法以及pali文。但是当时的社会,寺院就是人们心灵与生命的寄托,从出生的去世,寺院与他们都分不开。看到人们的痛苦,LP开始转向学习这一方面的学问,“LP Foo是位很厉害的师父,而且他很好心。”那位来求出家的男子跟我们聊起。我进一步问,“那么有没有人带了LP的佛牌而不被子弹打进吗?”<br />
“没有。”他说,“有的只是有人戴了LP的神猴之后,被人砍,却砍不进。”<br />
LP说起他年轻时候的故事。一天,他和朋友去跟LP求法。临走前,LP给了一粒loket给朋友还有教他们一个经文。后来,某一个晚上,天气很热,朋友就来在屋子外面乘凉。而被人开枪!但是,子弹却射不进。<br />
奇怪的是,那时候他并没有把LP Ding的loket戴在身上,也没有念什么经文。他之所以可以脱险,是因为他常常想起LP ding。<br />
“LP Ding很灵验,没有佛牌,只需要忆念起他,就可以脱险!”<br />
生命没有什么是确定的。。。有些事对一些人来很不可思议,有些人却坚信不疑,而有些人却认为事天方奇谭。“尊重这些灵验的事吧,这并不是犯法的事。” LP Ding圆寂很久了我来不及问他<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">LP</span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: 宋体; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-font-family: 宋体; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">慈悲为来拜见他的人</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">“bao kamom” </span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: 宋体; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-font-family: 宋体; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">(在头顶加持)泰国神话</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;"> 5</span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: 宋体; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-font-family: 宋体; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">世皇之子</span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;"> </span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: 宋体; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-font-family: 宋体; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">当代泰国海军总司令</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;"> kumanlongchunpom </span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: 宋体; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-font-family: 宋体; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">后面是他的师父</span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;"> </span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: 宋体; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-font-family: 宋体; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">神通第一</span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;"> </span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: 宋体; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-font-family: 宋体; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">龙婆肃</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;"> wat pak kong makantao</span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: 宋体; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-font-family: 宋体; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">在</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">chunpom</span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: 宋体; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-font-family: 宋体; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">开光。在每一个关于</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">kumanlongchunpom </span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: 宋体; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-font-family: 宋体; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">神话之地开光。</span><br />

龙婆蜀 也被称为5大比达名师之一锡制佛牌也是龙婆蜀最喜爱使用的材料之一(錫有著避降頭,招財的功效)佛曆2455-2466後面刻有龍婆蜀的獨特經文 由於牌身非常的小 所以難以拍攝~ 請各位多多見諒~隱隱約約還能看見牌身后的手刻經文佩戴龍婆蜀(神通第一)的牌能夠有著全功能的效果其中包括財運,生意興隆,改善人緣,避開一切危險。<br />
龍婆蜀在世時所製作的佛牌真品非常難尋。非常有珍藏價值及功效。<br />

有一次龍婆蜀與十位老僧到一山洞處,看見一位老僧在時尚打坐,一看就知其功力之高深,於是等他出定時便開始拜他為師,而他說:”誰能在此山洞打坐一晚上,我就收他為徒”而大家都把事情想得很簡單,但幾個小時後忽然一陣冷風吹過,突然爆出一隻大老虎出來,嚇的那些僧人們屁滾尿流的跑了,而此時只剩下龍婆蜀一人,而龍波樹也感覺到老虎的威脅,但他想既然決定出家為僧,就等同把生命獻給了佛祖,那就交給因果來決定吧!到了隔天早上現場只剩下龍波樹一人,而那名高僧也收龍婆蜀為徒,并把昨天的法術教給了龍婆蜀,原來老人可以把樹葉變成任何一種動物.<br />
還有一次, 龍婆蜀到一個非常險峻的山上,看到一個老人正要下山,便向他行個禮,而老人見龍波樹靈光一現,覺得此人不凡,決定試探後收他為徒,便說如果龍婆蜀能緊跟著老僧的後面走便收他為徒,而龍婆蜀心想這是學新法術的量及,便跟隨著老僧,此時只見老僧往那深不見底的山崖,隨即跳了下去, 龍婆蜀嚇了一跳,想說老僧是否是要自殺呢?<br />
後來自己心想既然已經答應了,就絕不退縮然後眼睛一閉,雙手合十往下一跳,說時遲那時快, 龍婆蜀忽覺全身輕飄飄的仿如落葉般,回過神來法現自己站在山洞門口,驚魂未定的走了進去,卻見老僧早已在等待著他,他知道他遇到高人了,於是趕緊跪下嗑了三個響頭,老僧也很滿意,他知道她沒看錯人,並交與他無數的法術,並叮嚀千萬不要將這些法術誤傳給那些心術不正的人,不然必定為害人間.<br />
龍婆蜀有四項絕技是非常有名的,<span style="color: red;"><strong>第一項</strong></span>龍婆蜀曾在瑪堪套的村子裡變過,有一天龍婆蜀經過一個蓮花池,遇上了村長並向村長接了把手槍把玩後就還給了村長,然後就跟村長說:"這個水池裡有很多魚,你開一槍就可以殺死全部",村民都覺得那不可能,因為水面會折射,想打中一隻都有難度了,何況是整池的呢?只見村長開了一槍,子彈打進了水裡,只見池中臉已擺動了一番,然後又歸於了平靜,然後有村民問:”為何沒有魚兒浮上來呢?” 龍婆蜀答道:”僧人是不能隨意殺生的,你們去檢查一下蓮花葉吧!”然而村民一看發現,每個葉子上都有一個大小相等的洞,此時龍波樹說:"此法術只可傳授給真正愛國的軍人,讓他們在對抗邪惡時能夠同時打倒多數邪惡,但如果讓壞人學到不就是天下大亂嗎?所以這言王子彈只傳給有正義感的人而已”<br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>第二項</strong></span>香爐火神,就是取香爐裡的香灰,念了經咒後將之灑出去,飄到哪裡哪就會燒起來.<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">第三項</span></strong>灑米變山,就是將米經過加持後往外一灑,就會長出山丘.<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">第四項</span></strong>白沙變水,將沙力加持後灑出去,灑到哪裡哪裡就會被水淹沒.可見從前法術是何等的犀利。<br />
有一天龍婆蜀走到一條大河前,此時之水非常的急湍,不可能游的過去,於是只能沿著河邊走下去,而不九龍波樹看到一位老人往水前走去,已為他要自殺,於是上前阻止,只見老人踏在水上輕輕的渡了過去, 龍婆蜀霎時愣住了,而隨即嗑了三個響頭,然後對面傳來一聲”小和尚有機會來找我吧,而幾天後” 龍婆蜀終於遇到了那位老僧,並且杯授予了好幾種跟水有關的法術,除了水上漫步,還可以令河水隔開,走進水中打坐,出來且滴水不沾.<br />
在樾巴空瑪套前面有一條大河,而大河中有許多的鱷魚,常常侵害村民, 龍婆蜀感到同情,他便取了一杯水走到廟前的碼頭處把水加持後到進河裡,然後說和尚不能殺生,所以只能師法保護人民而已,說也奇怪以後凡鱷魚游在村莊的範圍之內,必不能潛進水裡,只能浮在水上,村民也就有了防備,從此就沒有聽到鱷魚傷人的案件了.<br />

於佛曆2466年五月, 功墨鑾村逢得了瘟疫而逝世,而同年12月, 龍婆蜀安詳的圓寂了,享年75歲.當龍婆蜀的靈櫃擺在樾巴空瑪套舉行儀式時,竟無故出現了近萬條壁虎團團圍觀,猶如萬條鱷魚前來朝聖,從此一代聖僧就此圓寂了.<br />

As a result of the scarcity Phra Phong Pidta amulet prices are generally higher than their metallic counterparts. <br />
Even more so when consecrated by senior guru monks who are highly respected.<br />
There are five series of Phra Phong Pidta amulets that are respected and high on the wish lists of serious collectors. They are as follows:<br />

It was officially recognized as a temple on March 8th, BE 2470.</div><br />
During ancient times it is known that local farmers would lead their livestock to the temple grounds in November and December to escape local flooding on the surrounding plains. <br />
<br />
There are no clear records of the history of this temple but information still exists about the famous reclining Buddha that dominates the temple.<br />
<br />
It is recorded that about 800 years ago, King Ler Thai of the Sukhothai Kingdom had traveled through the area and witnessed a strnge ball of light in the night skies. As a result of this he decided to build a sacred Buddhist image in memory of the event.<br />
<br />

He called upon about 1,000 labourers to help construct a giant sleeping Buddha, 20-Wa long by five-Wa high.<br />
(Wa is a Thai measurement unit equals to two meters.)<br />
<br />
It took about five months to complete the work, and construction was completed in BE 1870. The king named the Buddha as Phra Buddha Siyas Ler Thai Narumit.<br />
<br />
He also assigned five men to guard the Image before he returned to his palace in Sukhothai Province, which was then capital of the Thai Kingdom.<br />
<br />
The reclining Buddha remained undamged for hundreds of years, until such time thieves became aware of the possibility that beneath could exist precious artifacts.<br />
<br />
It was not easy to start excavating under the Buddha but a secret hole was dug. Unfortunately valuables were recovered and removed from the site before monks noticed ground subsidence.The unstable foundations led to the total collapse of the Buddha on October 14, B.E.2541, 11.00am. <br />

They are remarkably similar to amulets created by Somdej Buddhachan Toh, Wat Rakhang, both in design and composition.<br />
<br />
All ancient amulets, which are called “Pra Somdej ”, will have been created by senior monks who were at the very least appointed by Somdej Toh , for example Somdej Pra Buddhacharn Tor, Somdej Pra Sungkarachjao Sook Gaitern.<br />
<br />
What is known for sure is that Somdej Buddhacharn Toh had visited this temple on a number of occasions to pay homage to the reclining Buddha. It is believed by most experts that at the very least he would have supported the creation of these amulets if not created by himself.<br />
<br />
Many people firmly believe that he did create these amulets and further more many competitions permit these amulets in the Somdej Toh class.<br />
<br />
There are four major classes of pim, some of which are quite difficult to distinguish to the untrained eye.<br />
<span style="background-color: yellow; color: red; font-size: large;">1.Pim Pra Prathan (Chairman Buddha Image style)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow; color: red; font-size: large;">2.Pim Yai (Large size)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow; color: red; font-size: large;">3.Pim Song Chedi (Chedi-shape)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow; color: red; font-size: large;">4.Pim Lek or Pim Kanaen (small size) </span><br />
<br />
NOTE: There is also one other pim known as PHRA SOMDEJ 7 CHAN OK RONG HU BAISRI which is incredibly rare, and well worth collecting in any condition as these pims fetch premium prices.<br />

He entered the priesthood as a novice at the age of 10 before being ordained at Wat Bangput, Nothaburi. In 2399 he moved to Wat Chanasongkram, Banglampu, before being invited to take up the position of Abbot at Wat Lingkob after the death of the previous Abbot, Pra Ramanmunee.</div><br />
<br />
It is recorded that he constructed a new Chedi which he was to fill with many votive tablets such as Phra Kleep Bua made from baked clay and other valuables.<br />
<br />
The blessing ceremony attended by many leading monks of the era was presided over by none other than Pra Somdej Buddhachan Toh himself, making these amulets extremely valuable and highly collectible.<br />

<br />
What is even more exciting is that these amulets are still affordable and I would highly recommend that any serious collector secure at least a single pim.<br />
<br />
These amulets were not recovered until March BE 2509 when part of the chedi collapsed due to water erosion. Originally thieves were first to discover the breach and although the temple was alerted and guarded by local police still more of the cache was stolen. The Religious Affairs Department finally gave permission for the Chedi to be formerly excavated. Amongst the scared amulets other Buddhist relics such as gold rings and takruts were also uncovered.<br />
<br />
Many of the amulets are heavily stained with fungus or worn away, but it is still possible to acquire clean examples as shown above. These amulets are generally quite easy to identify although fakes abound. (Note the slight fungal growth and finger prints to the rear.)<br />

No-one knows for certain when it was first written. However, the events depicted in this classic story are believed to have taken place around 1500. The story was passed from generation to generation by word of mouth. It wasn't until the 19th Century that King Rama II, King Rama III and other prestigious poets of the time, decided to collect all accounts of this story and then write a definitive version. <br />
<br />
The following synopsis of the story is illustrated with photographs I took of the wall painting at Wat Pa Lelai in Suphan Buri.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg4ue3NCWesD0OLCxSbV9bYgWT-w7tN75qhq5k-Kz6SBb4bRSiDzLeA-IaiX1f1QK1LG6JiJ0WaSEFZCUxEVNtTvQ5waRDDrkcou3vOMSyq4z3lwcmG_oUpgCHRexsKFt-HBKEDzjxy7k/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg4ue3NCWesD0OLCxSbV9bYgWT-w7tN75qhq5k-Kz6SBb4bRSiDzLeA-IaiX1f1QK1LG6JiJ0WaSEFZCUxEVNtTvQ5waRDDrkcou3vOMSyq4z3lwcmG_oUpgCHRexsKFt-HBKEDzjxy7k/s640/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> Phlai Kaeo (later Khun Phan), Khun Chang, and Nang Phim (later Nang Wanthong) are childhood friends in Suphan Buri. Phlai Kaeo grows up to be handsome, clever and brave, but he is poor because the King executed his father. He ordained as a novice monk so that he could be educated at the local temple. He excels in martial arts and develops a love of magic. Khun Chang is his opposite: bald, ugly, and crass but very rich.<br />
<br />
<br />
By the age of 16, Nang Phim is the most beautiful girl in Suphan Buri. She meets novice Phlai at Wat Pa Lelai during the Songkran festival, and they have a passionate courtship. But, Khun Chang is also smitten by Phim and tries to win her through his wealth. Love triumphs. Phlai Kaeo leaves the temple and they get married, even though Phim can already see that he is a great womanizer. Only two days together after the marriage, Phlai is called up to lead an army on a campaign in the north.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn2LBtu6Ti_e2Tkq5LN78ZGGtz0CrVkXAycntR3pgcvolZyH6QdQMC6ZDtrdfOw5tmc7MHZpbVRB3yOv-khiKR88o_7Ziyka7GiaEZ-FTssuEzUKK0OJ3XI0MtlTooNg66qPJwaCI7aJM/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn2LBtu6Ti_e2Tkq5LN78ZGGtz0CrVkXAycntR3pgcvolZyH6QdQMC6ZDtrdfOw5tmc7MHZpbVRB3yOv-khiKR88o_7Ziyka7GiaEZ-FTssuEzUKK0OJ3XI0MtlTooNg66qPJwaCI7aJM/s640/2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Phim falls sick from pining. The abbot of Wat Pa Lelai changes her name to Nang Wanthong to revive her luck. Khun Chang takes the opportunity of Phlai’s absence to spread rumours that Phlai Kaeo has died in battle and tempts Wanthong’s mother with his wealth. Wanthong’s mother consents to the marriage. Wanthong resists at first, but soon comes to enjoy a comfortable life and an attentive, faithful husband.<br />
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Phlai Kaeo wins a magnificent victory in the north, and returns with his new fame as a great warrior. He also returns with a new wife, Laothong, who was a prize of the battle. The King gives him the title Khun Phan. When he reaches Suphan Buri he sees what has happened and commands Wanthong to return to his household. Wanthong and Laothong have a jealous quarrel. Things don’t work out and Khun Phan departs for Kanchanaburi and Wanthong stays with Khun Chang.<br />

But, before long, Khun Phan is separated from Laothong by the King as punishment for skipping royal service. He equips himself with a magic sword, a magnificent horse and a powerful spirit, Golden Child. Then he comes to Suphan Buri and kidnaps Wanthong from Khun Chang’s house in the dead of night. They flee deep into the forest. But Khun Phan kills two royal officials sent after them, and so becomes a wanted man. When Wanthong becomes pregnant, he decides to give himself up.<br />
<br />
<br />
At the trial, he clears himself, but then angers the King by asking for the return of his second wife, Laothong. He is jailed. Wanthong visits and looks after him. But then Khun Chang captures her and takes her back to his home. There she gives birth to Phlai Ngam, a son with Khun Phan.<br />
<br />
Khun Chang is jealous of Khun Phan’s son and tries to do away with him by abandoning him in the forest. He survives, but Wanthong decides to entrust Phlai Ngam to a monastery. However, a while later, Phlai Ngam runs away and is brought up by his grandmother in Kanchanaburi.<br />
<br />
Khun Phan suffers in prison for many years. He is released when the King needs him to lead another military campaign in the north. His adolescent son, Phlai Ngam, joins him on the campaign. Phlai Ngam starts to follow in his amorous footsteps by winning the hand of Simala, the beautiful daughter of the governor of Phichit. Khun Phaen is again victorious in battle. The King is so pleased that he not only restores Khun Phan to royal favour, but bestows on Phlai Ngam the title of Phra Wai and two wives: his beloved Simala, and a daughter of the defeated King of Chiang Mai. <br />
<br />
At the wedding, Phra Wai and Khun Chang get in a drunken quarrel, which ends in a court case. Khun Chang loses and faces punishment, but Phra Wai appeals for him to be freed.<br />
<br />
Khun Chang petitions the King to regain Wanthong as his wife. At the hearing, the King insists that Wanthong cannot have two husbands and must choose between them. But she cannot because each has meaning for her in different ways. The king loses his temper and condemns her to death. Phra Wai appeals and wins a reprieve at the last minute. He gallops off on his horse to stop the execution. But, the executioner, on seeing the approaching horse, thinks the King is angry with him for delaying the execution. So, he immediately beheads Wanthong.<br />

<br />
Khun Chang Khun Phaen (Thai: ขุนช้างขุนแผน) is an epic Thai poem which originated from a folktale and is one of the most notable works in Thai literature. Chang and Phaen are the leading male characters, and "Khun" was a junior feudal title given for male commoners. The story is a classic love triangle, ending in high tragedy. Khun Phaen (dashing but poor) and Khun Chang (rich but ugly) compete for the lovely Wanthong from childhood for over fifty years. Their contest involves two wars, several abductions, a suspected revolt, an idyllic sojourn in the forest, two court cases, trial by ordeal, jail, and treachery. Ultimately the king condemns Wanthong to death for failing to choose between the two men. The poem was written down in the early nineteenth century, and a standard printed edition first published in 1917–1918. Like many works with origins in popular entertainment, it is fast-moving and stuffed full with heroism, romance, sex, violence, rude-mechanical comedy, magic, horror, and passages of lyrical beauty. In Thailand, the story is universally known. Children learn passages at school, and the poem is a source of songs, popular sayings, and everyday metaphors. The poem is also controversial because of its male bias and violence.<br />

It originated as a folktale some time before the eighteenth century, developed by storytellers who recited episodes for local audiences, and passed on the story by word-of-mouth. By the eighteenth century, such performances had become the most popular form of entertainment in Siam. The storytellers recounted the story in stylized recitation, using two small sticks of wood (krap) to give rhythm and emphasis. The performances typically lasted a full night.</span> <br />
<br />
<br />
The performance of Khun Chang Khun Phaen created a new genre known as sepha. For at least a century, only episodes from this work were known by this term. In the Fourth Reign (1851–1868), parts of the royal chronicles and a few other works were also rendered in this form on royal commission, but all but a few fragments have since disappeared.<br />
<br />
The origin of this word sepha is disputed. There is a musical form of the same name, but this seems unconnected. Kukrit Pramoj thought that sepha meant a jail and that the genre was developed by convicts in jail. Sujit Wongthet argued a connection to the Sanskrit word sewa, indicating some original association with ritual. <br />
<br />
Khun Chang and Khun Phaen are the names of the two leading male characters. In the era when the poem's events are set, Khun was a title for one of the lowest ranks in the official nobility.<br />
<br />
<strong>Development as literature</strong><br />
Beginning in the eighteenth century, prominent episodes from the story were written down. After the foundation of Bangkok in 1782, the new royal court made efforts to retrieve all kinds of texts which had survived the sack of Ayutthaya fifteen years earlier. Episodes of Khun Chang Khun Phaen were transcribed from earlier texts, or adapted from recitations by storytellers. No manuscripts of Khun Chang Khun Phaen have survived from the Ayutthaya era.<br />
<br />
It became conventional to render these written versions in the then-popular poetic meter, klon, especially the variant with eight-syllable lines known as klon paet. Performance of these episodes were popular in the court and among the aristocracy. In the Second Reign (1809–1824), the performance was often enhanced by adding music. From the Fourth Reign (1851–1868), dancing was also added and more than one performer might share the task of recitation.<br />
<br />
Several chapters were written down by members of the literary salon of King Rama II (1809–1824). None of these works are signed, but certain chapters and part-chapters are conventionally attributed to King Rama II, the future King Rama III (r. 1824–1851), and the great poet Sunthorn Phu. Another member of the salon, Prince Mahasakdi Phonlasep, a son of King Rama I (1782–1809) and cousin of King Rama II, may also have contributed to the writing.<br />
<br />
Several other chapters were compiled later, probably during the reign of King Rama III, by Khru Jaeng, a performer of sepha and other forms of entertainment. Little is known of him except for an internal reference in the poem. For over half the 43 chapters in the standard version, the author is unknown.<br />
<br />
A former missionary, Samuel Smith, printed the first book version in 1872, probably using a manuscript belonging to Somdet Chaophraya Borommaha Sisuriyawong. Another printed version was issued in 1889 by the Wat Ko Press. Five episodes composed by Khru Jaeng were printed around 1890.<br />
<br />
The standard modern edition appeared in three volumes in 1917–1918, published by the Wachirayan Library, and edited by its head, Prince Damrong Rachanubhab. Damrong compiled from four sets of samut thai manuscripts and a few other fragments. The earliest of the manuscripts dated from the Fourth Reign (1851–1868). He selected what he believed were the best versions of each episode, and added some link passages. He deleted some passages which he considered obscene, and some which depended on topical jokes and other material which he felt were no longer comprehensible.<br />

The main story ends in chapter 36, but a further seven chapters were included because the episodes were well-known and popular. Performers and authors had already developed many more episodes which extended the story down through three generations of Khun Phaen's lineage. Damrong decreed that these were not good enough as either narrative or poetry to deserve publication. Around fifty of these later chapters have since been published in various collections.<br />

Khun Chang, Phlai Kaeo (who later is given the title, Khun Phaen), and Nang Phim Philalai (who later changes her name to Wanthong) are childhood friends in Suphanburi. Khun Phaen is handsome and intelligent, but poor because the king has executed his father and seized their property. He enters the monkhood as a novice to get educated, excelling at military skills and love magic. Khun Chang is ugly and stupid, but rich and well-connected at the Ayutthaya court.<br />
<br />
By age 15, Phim is the belle of Suphanburi. She meets Phlai Kaeo when putting food in his almsbowl at Songkran (Thai New Year). Sparks fly. They have a passionate affair, with him shuttling between the wat (Buddhist monastery) and her bedroom.<br />
<br />
Khun Chang is also smitten by Phim. He competes for her using his wealth and status. He offers to give her mother Phim's weight in gold. After Phlai Kaeo and Phim are married, Khun Chang maneuvers the king to send Phlai Kaeo on military service, and then claims he is dead. When Phlai Kaeo returns victorious, Khun Chang plots to have him banished from Ayutthaya for negligence on government service.<br />
<br />
Phim (now Wanthong) resists Khun Chang. But when Phlai Kaeo (now Khun Phaen) returns from war with another wife, they have a jealous quarrel. Wanthong goes to live with Khun Chang, enjoying his devotion and the comforts afforded by his wealth.<br />
<br />
When Khun Phaen's second wife, Laothong, is taken into the palace by the king, Khun Phaen regrets abandoning Wanthong. He breaks into Khun Chang's house at the dead of night and takes Wanthong away. At first she is reluctant to leave her comfortable existence, but the passion rekindles, and they flee to an idyllic but frugal sojourn in the forest.<br />
<br />
Khun Chang tells the king that Khun Phaen is mounting a rebellion. The king sends an army which Khun Phaen defeats, killing two of its officers. A warrant is issued for his arrest. When Wanthong becomes pregnant, Khun Phaen decides to leave the forest and give himself up. At the trial, the charges of rebellion are disproved, and Khun Chang is heavily fined.<br />
<br />
Khun Phaen angers the king by asking for the release of Laothong. He is jailed, and festers in prison for around twelve years. Khun Chang abducts Wanthong and they again live together in Suphanburi.<br />
<br />
Wanthong gives birth to Phlai Ngam, her son with Khun Phaen. When Phlai Ngam is eight, Khun Chang tries to kill him. Phlai Ngam escapes to live in Kanchanaburi with his grandmother who teaches him from Khun Phaen's library.<br />
<br />
When the kings of Ayutthaya and Chiang Mai quarrel over a beautiful daughter of the King of Vientiane, Phlai Ngam volunteers to lead an army to Chiang Mai, and successfully petitions for Khun Phaen's release. They capture the King of Chiang Mai, and return with the Vientiane princess and a great haul of booty. Khun Phaen now gains status as the governor of Kanchanaburi. Phlai Ngam is appointed Phra Wai, an officer in the royal pages.<br />
<br />
Khun Chang gets drunk at Phra Wai's wedding, and the old rivalry returns. Phra Wai abducts Wanthong from Khun Chang's house, prompting Khun Chang to petition the king for redress. At the subsequent trial, the king demands that Wanthong decide between Khun Chang and Khun Phaen. She cannot, and is dumb-struck. The king orders her execution. Phra Wai pleads successfully with the king for a reprieve, but the order arrives fractionally too late to avoid her execution.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Origins of the story</span></strong><br />
Prince Damrong believed that the Khun Chang Khun Phaen story was based on true events which took place around 1500 in the reign of King Ramathibodi II. His evidence was a memoir believed to have been taken down from Thai prisoners in Burma after the fall of Ayutthaya in 1767 (Khamhaikan chao krung kao, The testimony of the inhabitants of the old capital). The memoir mentions the name of Khun Phaen in an account of a military campaign against Chiang Mai. However, this memoir is just as much a text of oral history as Khun Chang Khun Phaen itself, and could well have developed from the folktale, rather than vice versa. The campaign against Chiang Mai in the latter part of Khun Chang Khun Phaen seems to be modeled on events which appear in the Ayutthaya and Lanchang chronicles for the 1560s.<br />
<br />
The opening chapter of Khun Chang Khun Phaen mentions a gift from the Emperor of China which might be dated shortly before 1600. The third chapter has a date based on a 120-year calendar which can be resolved as 1549/50, 1669/70, or 1789/90.<br />
<br />
Most likely Khun Chang Khun Phaen developed over decades or centuries by storytellers absorbing and embellishing several local tales and true stories. Prince Damrong surmised that the original version was much shorter and simpler: Khun Phaen woos and marries Wanthong but then goes to war; Khun Chang seizes her; Khun Phaen returns and in the ensuing squabble, Wanthong is condemned to death. The story then expanded as other episodes were assembled around these leading characters. The whole second half of the standard version shows signs of being an extension which repeats themes and episodes from the first half. Certain episodes are known to have been newly written and incorporated in the nineteenth century. Some episodes are known to be modeled on true events. The arrival of an embassy from Lanchang, for example, is based on the reception of an embassy from Tavoy at Ayutthaya in 1791.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Characteristics Realism</span></strong><br />
Most major works of old Thai literature are about gods and royalty, and take place in the court or the heavens. Khun Chang Khun Phaen is the great exception. The major characters are drawn from the minor provincial gentry. The authors build an atmosphere of realism by cramming the narrative with anthropological detail on dress, marriages, funerals, temple ceremonies, feasts (including menus and recipes), court cases, trial by ordeal, house building, travel, and entertainment.<br />
<br />
In addition, the geography is real. Most of the action takes place in Suphanburi, Kanchanaburi, and Ayutthaya, and the locations are easily identifiable today, including temples and cross-country routes. Several places mentioned in the text appear on some early nineteenth century maps which were recently discovered in the royal palace in Bangkok.<br />
<br />
In the later part of the tale there is an expedition to Vientiane which clearly follows one of the routes taken by Bangkok armies during the war against Vientiane in 1827–1828. There are also two military campaigns to Chiang Mai, but here the geography is much less certain. The place names are correct, but temples are located in the wrong town, routes between places make no geographical sense, and other mistakes indicate that the authors had only a hazy idea of the northern region.<br />

This phrase refers to beliefs in supernatural powers which exist within human beings and other natural objects, and which can be activated through taught skills. These beliefs stem from the Tantric school of Buddhism, and are found as a substratum in Buddhism throughout Southeast Asia and other parts of the Buddhist world.<br />
<br />
The methods to activate these latent powers include meditation and recitation of mantras or formulas (elsewhere, yoga is another method). The power can also be transferred to objects, especially diagrams known as yantra (Thai: เลขยันต์, lek yan). In India, where they probably originated, such diagrams are composed mostly of geometric shapes with symbolic meanings arranged in symmetrical patterns (the mandala is a yantra). In the Thai tradition, these diagrams also include numbers in sequences with supernatural meaning, pictures of gods and powerful animals (lion, tiger, elephant), and formulas or abbreviated formulas written in Pali or Khmer. To have power, these diagrams have to be drawn by an adept under strict rules (such as reciting formulas continuously, completing the drawing in one sitting), and activated by reciting a formula.<br />
<br />
Yantra (called Yant in Thai) diagrams can be carried on the body in various ways: tattoed on the skin (Sak Yant - สักยันต์); imprinted on a shirt or inner shirt; imprinted on a scarf (Thai: ประเจียด, prajiat) tied round the head, arm, or chest; imprinted on a belt, perhaps made from human skin; imprinted on paper or cloth which is then rolled and plaited into a ring (Thai: แหวน พิรอด, Hwaen Pirod); inscribed on a soft metal such as tin which is coiled round a cord and worn as an amulet (Thai: ตะกรุด, Takrud). The main purpose of these various forms of yant designs with Khom inscriptions, is to give invulnerability or protection against various forms of threat.<br />
<br />
The same purpose is served by carrying amulets made from natural materials which have some unusual property which seems contrary to nature. A good example is mercury – a metal which has the unusual property of behaving like a fluid. Other examples include cat’s eye, a semi-precious stone which resembles an animal’s eye, and “fluid metal” (Thai: เหล็กไหล, lek lai), a metal-like substance believed to become malleable under the heat of a candle’s flame. These items can be strung on cords and worn around various parts of the body, or inserted under the skin.<br />
<br />
Before going into battle or any other undertaking entailing risk, Khun Phaen decks himself with several of these items. He also consults various oracles which indicate whether the time and the direction of travel is auspicious. These oracles include casting various forms of horoscope, looking for shapes in the clouds, and examining which nostril the breath is passing most easily.<br />
<br />
Khun Phaen is also schooled in Kata Akom (mantra) or formulas with supernatural power. They are used for such purposes as stunning enemies, transforming his body into other forms, opening locks and chains, putting everyone else to sleep, and converting sheaves of grass into invulnerable spirit warriors. Khun Phaen also uses love formulas to captivate women, and to allay the wrath of the king.<br />
<br />
Finally, Khun Phaen has a corps of spirits which he looks after. They defend him against enemy spirits, act as spies, and transport him at speed. In a famous passage, Khun Phaen acquires an especially powerful spirit from the still-born foetus of his own son. This spirit is known as a Gumarn Tong (Thai: กุมารทอง), a golden child.<br />
<br />
In the poem, the command of these powers is described using several combinations of the following words: wicha (Thai: วิชา), taught knowledge; witthaya (Thai: วิทยา), similar to the suffix, -ology; wet (Thai: เวท), from veda, the Brahminical scriptures; mon (Thai: มนตร์), mantra, a Buddhist prayer; katha (Thai: คาถา), a verse or formula; and akhom (Thai: อาคม), from agama, a Sanskrit word meaning knowledge, especially pre-vedic texts. These words position the command of these powers as an ancient and sacred form of learning.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Adaptations</span></strong><br />
While the poetic sepha has become the standard version of Khun Chang Khun Phaen, the story has been rendered into many other forms.<br />
<br />
In the nineteenth century, various episodes were adapted into drama plays (lakhon), dance dramas, comedies, and likay. In the twentieth century, episodes were adapted into the poetical form of nirat, and the folk performance of phleng choi.<br />
<br />
There have been five film versions, beginning with a silent film in two parts by Bamrung Naewphanit in 1936. The most recent film version, Khun Phaen, was directed by Thanit Jitnukul in 2002.<br />
<br />
A first TV version appeared as a single episode in 1955. A 1970 version, based around the exploits of Khun Phaen as governor of Kanchanaburi, extended over 500 episodes. Thai Channel 3 aired a serial version under the name Phim Phlilalai (Wanthong's natal name) in 1985, and Thai Channel 5 aired a serial Khun Phaen in 1998.<br />
<br />
A cartoon version, drawn by Sawat Jukarop, appeared in Siam Rath from 1932 to 1950. The latest among many book-length cartoon versions was compiled by Sukrit Boonthong in 2005.<br />
<br />
Several famous artists have illustrated scenes from Khun Chang Phaen, especially Hem Vejakorn. In 1917, BAT Co Ltd issues a series of 100 cigarette cards featuring characters from the story.<br />
<br />
There have been several adaptations into novels, beginning with Malai Chuphinit, Chai Chatri (The Hero) in 1932. The most famous is Khun Phaen written by the major thriller author Por Intharapalit in 1972.<br />
<br />
There have been at least seven re-tellings of the story in modern Thai prose. The first, and most complete of these, was by Premseri in 1964.<br />
<br />
Three other works tell the story with the addition of annotations and explanations of old words and forgotten customs. The study by Suphon Bunnag was published in two volumes in 1960, and republished in her cremation volume in 1975. Khun Wichitmatra (Sanga Kanchanakphan) and Phleuang na Nakhon wrote a series of articles in the magazine Withayasan over 1954–57, collected together in book form in 1961. Kukrit Pramoj also wrote a series of articles in Siam Rath, collected as a book in 1989.<br />
<br />
In 2002 Sujit Wongthet published a similar work which originated as a series of articles in the magazine Sinlapa Watthanatham (Art and Culture). The book includes a copy of two manuscript versions of chapter 17, which Sujit secured from the National Archives under the Freedom of Information Act. These manuscripts reveal what Prince Damrong had excised in his editing.<br />
<br />
Cholthira Satyawadhna wrote an MA dissertation in 1970 using a Freudian approach to analyze aggression in Khun Chang Khun Phaen. The thesis became famous, both as a landmark in Thai literary criticism, and as an early Thai feminist treatise.<br />

The name Khun Phaen is shorthand for a great lover (similar to Romeo or Casanova). It is also the name of a famous amulet, reputed to bring success in love, and the slang for a large "chopper" motorcycle.</div><br />
<br />
In Suphanburi and Phichit, towns which figure prominently in the poem, the major streets have been named after characters in the story.<br />
<br />
At several locations featured in the story there are now shrines with images of the characters. Such locations include Cockfight Hill in old Kanchanaburi (images of Khun Phaen and his father Khun Krai), the old town of Phichit (Nang Simala), and Ban Tham in Kanchanaburi (Nang Buakhli).<br />
<br />
In Ayutthaya, an old Thai house has been erected on the site of the jail where Khun Phaen was incarcerated in the poem. The house has been renamed “Khum Khun Phaen” and is a major tourist attraction. A similar house, attributed to Khun Phaen, has recently been erected in Wat Khae in Suphanburi. This temple also has an old tamarind tree which is legendarily associated with a passage in the poem in which Khun Phaen is taught how to transform tamarind leaves into wasps.<br />
<br />
Wat Palelai, Suphanburi, has erected a model of Khun Chang's house, and commissioned a series of murals from the Khun Chang Khun Phaen story around its main cloister.<br />
<br />
<strong>Contemporary status</strong><br />
<br />
Almost every Thai knows the story of Khun Chang Khun Phaen. Most children have to memorize and recite extracts at school.<br />
<br />
Thailand's literary establishment has been rather cool towards Khun Chang Khun Phaen, probably because of the work's origins in the folk tradition and consequent lack of refinement. In addition, feminists have criticized the story for celebrating Khun Phaen as a promiscuous lover, and making Wanthong a tragic victim.<br />
<br />
Kukrit Pramoj opened his study of the poem with the remark: “At present there are some knowledgeable people who have expressed the opinion that Khun Chang Khun Phaen is an immoral book and a bad example which should be burnt or destroyed, so no one may read it from now on.”<br />
<br />
Kukrit Pramoj is one among many enthusiasts who value Khun Chang Khun Phaen as a great story and as a unique repository of old Thai culture. Other prominent defenders include:<br />
<br />
• Sulak Sivaraksa (social commentator, activist): “This immortal story is number one in Thai literature, and cedes nothing to the major literary works of other nations."<br />
<br />
• Rong Wongsawan (novelist, essayist): “I like Khun Chang Khun Phaen and still read it today. It's the literary work which best reflects the life of the Thai. In simple words, the voice of the people."<br />
<br />
• Naowarat Phongphaibun (national poet): “Every Thai person over 30 should read at least four or five books, starting with Khun Chang Khun Phaen.”<br />
<br />
• William J. Gedney (linguist): “I have often thought that if all other information on traditional Thai culture were to be lost, the whole complex could be reconstructed from this marvellous text.”<br />
<br />
<strong>Translation</strong><br />
<br />
There is no full translation into a European language. Prem Chaya (Prince Prem Purachatra) began a précis version, The Story of Khun Chang Khun Phaen (1955, 1959), but completed only two of the three planned volumes. J. Kasem Sibunruang compiled an abridged version in French, with some commentary, as La femme, le heros et le vilain. Poeme populaire thai. Khun Chang, Khun Phen (1960). Klaus Wenk translated the famous chapter 24 by Sunthorn Phu word-for-word into German, in Studien zur Literatur der Thai: Texte und Interpretationen von und zu Sunthon Phu und seinem Kreis. Hamburg and Bangkok (1985).<br />
<br />
There are very few studies on Khun Chang Khun Phaen in western languages. Prince Bidyalankarana (Krommuen Pitthayalongkon) wrote two articles on the poem in the Journal of Siam Society in 1926 and 1941 which explain the metrical form of the sepha and give a summary of the plot. E. H. S. Simmonds published an aritlce in Asia Major in 1963 which compares one episode in the standard text with a version he recorded in performance.<br />

<br />
<br />
Legendary Khun Paen lived between 1491-1529. He is the legendary Ayuthaya warrior living some 450 years ago. His name later became the name of a kind of votive tablets found at Wat Bankrang, Suphanburi Province, about a century ago. Khun paen was born in Suphanburi Province (some 70 km. northwest of Bangkok) but grew up in the close bordered Kanchanaburi Province, where the world wide well-known "Bridge over River Kwai" situated.<br />
<br />
He was a disciple of Archan Kong, a magic-expert guru monk, for magical studies. By his skillful fighting, he was appointed by the king to be Khun or a high ranking military officer.<br />
<br />
His biography was far more extended and rather a story by poetic authors of the early Rattanakosin period.<br />

<strong><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">Khun Paen's House</span></strong> <br />
<br />
Phlai Kaeo (who later is given the title, Khun Phaen), and Nang Phim Philalai (who later changes her name to Wanthong) are childhood friends in Suphanburi. Khun Phaen is handsome and intelligent, but poor because the king has executed his father and seized their property. He enters the monkhood as a novice to get educated, excelling at military skills and love magic.<br />
<br />
He was a disciple of Archan Kong, a magic-expert guru monk, for magical studies.<br />
Khun Chang is ugly and stupid, but rich and well-connected at the Ayutthaya court.<br />
<br />
By age 15, Phim is the belle of Suphanburi. She meets Phlai Kaeo when putting food in his almsbowl at Songkran (Thai New Year). Sparks fly. They have a passionate affair, with him shuttling between the wat(Buddhist monastery) and her bedroom.<br />
Khun Chang is also smitten by Wanthong. He competes for her using his wealth and status.<br />
<br />
He offers to give her mother Phim's weight in gold. After Khun pean and Phim are married, Khun Chang maneuvers the king to send Phlai Kaeo on military service, and then claims he is dead. When Phlai Kaeo returns victorious, Khun Chang plots to have him banished from Ayutthaya for negligence on government service.<br />
<br />
Phim (now Wanthong) resists Khun Chang. But when Phlai Kaeo (now Khun Phaen) returns from war with another wife, they have a jealous quarrel. Wanthong goes to live with Khun Chang, enjoying his devotion and the comforts afforded by his wealth.<br />
<br />
When Khun Phaen's second wife, Laothong, is taken into the palace by the king, Khun Phaen regrets abandoning Wanthong. He breaks into Khun Chang's house at the dead of night and takes Wanthong away.<br />
At first she is reluctant to leave her comfortable existence, but the passion rekindles, and they flee to an idyllic but frugal sojourn in the forest.<br />
<br />
Khun Chang tells the king that Khun Phaen is mounting a rebellion. The king sends an army which Khun Phaen defeats, killing two of its officers. A warrant is issued for his arrest. When Wanthong becomes pregnant, Khun Phaen decides to leave the forest and give himself up. At the trial, the charges of rebellion are disproved, and Khun Chang is heavily fined.<br />
<br />
Khun Phaen angers the king by asking for the release of Laothong. He is jailed, and festers in prison for around twelve years. Khun Chang abducts Wanthong and they again live together in Suphanburi.<br />
<br />
Wanthong gives birth to Phlai Ngam, her son with Khun Phaen. When Phlai Ngam is eight, Khun Chang tries to kill him. Phlai Ngam escapes to live in Kanchanaburi with his grandmother who teaches him from Khun Phaen's library.<br />
<br />
When the kings of Ayutthaya and Chiang mai quarrel over a beautiful daughter of the King of Vientiane, Phlai Ngam volunteers to lead an army to Chiang Mai, and successfully petitions for Khun Phaen's release. They capture the King of Chiang mai, and return with the Vientiane princess and a great haul of booty. Khun Phaen now gains status as the governor of Kanchanaburi . Phlai Ngam is appointed Phra Wai, an officer in the royal pages.<br />
<br />
Khun Chang gets drunk at Phra Wai's wedding, and the old rivalry returns.Phra Wai abducts Wanthong from Khun Chang's house, prompting Khun Chang to petition the king for redress.<br />
<br />
At the subsequent trial, the king demands that Wanthong decide between Khun Chang and Khun Phaen. She cannot, and is dumb-struck. The king orders her execution. Phra Wai pleads successfully with the king for a reprieve, but the order arrives fractionally too late to avoid her execution.<br />

<br />
Based on old legends, Khun Paen was handsome and very attractive to ladies.Although, he had many wives, but still many ladies fell in love with him. Khun Paen had magical knowledge. He used magic to make himself invulnerable and unseen to enemies, to change the marching track of the enemies to become labyrinthine field, and to change leaves of the tree to become wasps to sting enemies etc.<br />
<br />
Khun Paen is also a master in mantra or formulas with supernatural power.<br />
<br />
They are used for such purposes as stunning enemies, transforming his body into other forms, opening locks and chains, putting everyone else to sleep, and converting sheaves of grass into invulnerable spirit warriors. Khun Phaen also uses love formulas to captivate women, and to allay the wrath of the king.<br />
<br />
Khun Paen was also the first who created Guman Thong. He brought the dead baby from the womb of the dead Bua Klee, one of his wives, to the Temple outer area within the chanting hall where the Buddha image is placed. The Temple and its outer area are so sacred place that no mighty ghosts or spirits can enter. Based on the legend descriptions, Khun Paen was chanting some sacred mantras to invoke the spirit of Guman Thong while roasting the dead baby on the fire.<br />
<br />
Guman Thong defended him against enemy spirits, act as spies, got for him money and transported him at speed. <br />

He is the legendary Ayuthaya warrior living some 450 years ago. His name later became the name of a kind of votive tablets found at Wat Bankrang, Suphanburi Province, about a century ago. Khun paen was born in Suphanburi Province (some 70 km. northwest of Bangkok) but grew up in the close bordered Kanchanaburi Province, where the world wide well-known "Bridge over River Kwai" situated.</div><br />
He was a disciple of Archan Kong, a magic-expert guru monk, for magical studies. By his skillful fighting, he was appointed by the king to be Khun or a high ranking military officer.<br />
<br />
His biography was far more extended and rather a story by poetic authors of the early Rattanakosin period.<br />

The word, "Khun" when translated, was actually a military rank of a "general" in Thailand (and thus "Paen" was the name). The legend says he was raised and taught by Guru Monk, Acharn Kong on magical studies which in turn had helped him won many battles against the aggression of Burmese during those days. Many secondary Thai imageries such as "Guman Thong" - the ritual babe ghost was actually referring to his son who was killed and transformed by Paen into a half human-ghost to help him in his battles.</span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_ChnlmAKp0UFZGdoSnEXpyZ2-3sgrFi2VlkLjuSZsu0915KH86_LffyG3H_FIXBaj5nTdlxZDFRLUybMqveDE3tsOtGwHLE7MYpfsG8brCsuiLRTdjFgwfzR-t1rIO8mZLiqbzeN-sKM/s1600/19.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_ChnlmAKp0UFZGdoSnEXpyZ2-3sgrFi2VlkLjuSZsu0915KH86_LffyG3H_FIXBaj5nTdlxZDFRLUybMqveDE3tsOtGwHLE7MYpfsG8brCsuiLRTdjFgwfzR-t1rIO8mZLiqbzeN-sKM/s640/19.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV2n5DByNrtVeGcvU6AcZEdkIqusMd8DC8ldLbJmFsiisi7WVOOuXRrRpHIC9Kw5uDGUoVfhODE3Ly2WaGlYWJHJnPurjlliYKAL4WRyVdxepnsf6IwZen2g2HMwScEDwZErZ4sWW5Sio/s1600/20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV2n5DByNrtVeGcvU6AcZEdkIqusMd8DC8ldLbJmFsiisi7WVOOuXRrRpHIC9Kw5uDGUoVfhODE3Ly2WaGlYWJHJnPurjlliYKAL4WRyVdxepnsf6IwZen2g2HMwScEDwZErZ4sWW5Sio/s640/20.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> But most of all, other than protective purpose and a mysterious ability in improving human relationship, this all-time men's favorite imageries originated from the general beliefs that Khun Paen has a mysterious "power" to attract women (much due to historical legend that he had plenty of beautiful women in his life). Probably this was also one of the main reasons you can find so many of this Imageries in my site, hehe ...oldman syndrome, you can call this.</div><br />
<br />
Please note that this men-favourite image can also be regarded as one of the most copied tablets on the market and many replicas have surfaced. I don't have the adequate knowledge to command and differentiate the originality of these either but it is advisable to refer to a few experienced Guru-collectors who can help you to authenticate them before committing any heavy financial investment. Some of the images of Khun Paen showcased below come with different origin and with different prices. The image provided by Col. Samay is a good example, it is one of the original version that has liquar-coated finishing. The center two well preserved images, although look very normal but they have been authenticated as old original images. The third from the left was similar to the one that I am using but it is the second version. The one by LP Tim from "Wat Rat Hanrai, Changwat Ratyong", Chun Buri has a Takrut behind, it comes with three versions in white, gold and black colour, the golden finish version was said to be the midrange (price-related) while the black version is the most expensive. Third from the right is an older version of the Khun Paen Ren Keow, "Wat Prarut", Supanburi, the one at the far right is also from the same source but it is not as old. The amulet at the center is named as "Khun Paen Ren Keow Phra Bhudhacharn(Toh) Promrangsi", sealed in "Krut Tad Khow", Changwat Sukhorthai, it was another rare piece - as quoted by some Thai guru collectors' magazines, some amulet Guru believed the famous Toh at Wat Rakang, Bangkok did produced some very limited number of Khun Paen images and this re-surfaced image is an extremely hard to source item - don't ask me how much does it cost... because it is probably meant for collectors. <br />

His name later became the name of a kind of votive tablets found at Wat Bankrang, Suphanburi Province, about a century ago. <br />
It is amulets collectors of the previous generation who named such the votive tablets "Khun Paen" just because the name was widely known to Thai people as an important legendary figure. There is actually no relation between the votive tablets themself and Khun Paen. And the figure image appears on the votive tablet is Lord Buddha, not Khun Paen. <br />
<br />
据说坤平出身于一个将领的家庭,天生聪慧、正直。年纪小的他已很讲义气,扬言长大后必效力国家,为帝王宝命也绝不言辞。他从小就学习武功,到年纪较长时已是十八般武艺皆精通,对骑马射箭更有他的一套,百发百中。由于他从小习武的缘故,所以他身材健硕,魁壮结实,加上他天生英俊非凡,真可说是一名标准的美男子。也因为家庭背景的助力,坤平自然而然也当上了当地的一名将领,后来要因为减赋有功而被封为将军。因此往后便有流传,坤平将军下面神鸡的佛牌可以改善人缘、异性魅力和化解困难。 <br />
<br />
<br />
将军他不但威勇善战,样貌更是俊朗不凡,深受女孩子欢迎,因此坤平妻妾之多无人能及,而且都能和睦相处,一次,坤平将军接到国家的命令,要攻打妻子的国家,便哀求丈夫不要攻打自己的家乡,但军命难为,坤平将军没有接受妻子的哀求,见丈夫不接受自己的哀求,便在坤平将军的食物中下毒,但坤平将军是天神化身,有天神秘佑,所以未能毒害坤平将军,事件已败露,坤平将军一时气愤,便将妻子杀死,但躺下后,坤平将军,才发现妻子已怀有身孕,便将死去的儿子,制成干骸佩带在身,以作记念,这就是现今人称金童子之鬼仔(泰国称作古曼童)的来历,坤平将军佩带了儿子的干骸金童子后,百战百胜,每当遇上危险都能化险为夷。<br />
<br />
据说坤平将军喜爱斗鸡,斗鸡是泰国一种赌博活动,而坤平的斗鸡竟和坤平将军一样威勇善战,百战百胜,有神鸡称号。因此往后便有流传,坤平将军佛牌,能助人缘,特别是异性缘,另外会对偏财、赌运有所帮助。<br />

<strong><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red; font-size: large;"> Revered objects and interesting places</span></strong><br />
In front of Wat Prayurawongsawas are many revered objects and places of interest that are open to the general public. At the front gate on Prachathipok Road, a red iron fence can be seen leading from the gateway up to the Great Pagoda or Phra Boromthat Maha Chedi. <br />
<br />
The group of buildings on the south side of the iron fence, such as the royal chapel (uposatha, or ordination hall), a vihara, and a multi-purpose sala are in all in traditional Thai style. <br />
<br />
The buildings on the north side of the iron fence, however, such as the Parindara Pariyattitham sala, and the complex of buildings in the area of the replica mountain (Khao Tao) are a mixture of Thai and Western architectural styles. <br />

A part of iron fence leads from the gateway up to the Great Pagoda or Phra Boromthat Maha Chedi. <br />
The height of this fence is approximately one and a half metre and is constructed in the shape of ancient weapons, such as the lance, sword and axe. The fence has small arched entrances along its length. <br />
<br />
The common people believe that Wat Rua Lek (Iron-fenced Monastery) consists of 30,000 axes, 3 cannons, and 300,000 lances. <br />
<br />
There is a story told that this iron fence was ordered on behalf of King Rama III from the United Kingdom by Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Prayurawong. <br />
<br />
It was intended to be used as the wall surrounding the Grand Palace but King Rama III did not take the offer.Then Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Prayurawong asked for the iron fence to be erected around Wat Prayurawongsawas instead. The payment was made in sugar-cane equal in weight to that of the iron fence itself. <br />

It is the largest of its kind in the Rattanakosin period, being 60.525 metres in height and 162 meters in circumference. <br />
Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Prayurawong (Dit Bunnag) initiated work on the pagoda but it was not completed within his lifetime. It was left to his son, Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Sri Suriyawong, to finish the work during the reign of King Rama IV.<br />
<br />
In 1907, the tenth abbot, Phra Prakrommuni (Plian), had the Buddha’s relics enshrined in the top section of the pagoda, along with the following inscription by Phra Samu Pun:<br />
<br />
‘Phra Samu Pun has written this inscription on the principle of the Dhamma for inclusion in this pagoda on Friday, the 10th waxing moon, of the 8th lunar month, in the year of the Goat, when Buddha-Sasana has the year 2450 (1907) as its past and the year 2549 (2006) as its future. May this merit-offering become a refuge for Phra Wiriyaka Phothiyan in the future’.<br />
Although it was long since believed that the Buddha’s relics were enshrined in this pagoda, it was only during its restoration initiated in the year 2006 (B.E. 2549) by the present abbot, Phra Dharmakosajarn, that the Buddha’s relics were discovered in the top part of the pagoda on the 5th of November 2007 (B.E. 2550). <br />
<br />
H.R.H. Princess Sirindhon presided over the ceremony of re-enshrinement of 4 pieces of the Buddha’s relics in the pagoda on the 11th of December 2008 (B.E. 2551). Another 5 pieces of the Buddha’s relics remain enshrined in the Vihara of Phra Phutthanak.<br />

The large prang itself is very well preserved. It features many sculpted details showing garudas attacking nagas. The two crypts in the lower part of the prang have some interesting murals. The painters were probably Chinese artists settled in Ayutthaya, who were able to incorporate a variety of styles such as those of the Khmer and Burmese as well as the Lopburi and Sukhothai styles to create an astonishingly harmonious result. </div><br />
<br />
Archaeological excavations of the prang between 1956 and 1958 also turned up more than 100,000 votive tablets. They were sold and the money thus raised was used to fund the building of the Chao Sam Phraya Museum. Votive tablets like this, which were taken on pilgrimages, were mostly made by shaping clay in moulds. <br />
<br />
They featured depictions of especially holy pilgrimage sites or simply pictures of Buddha. Further discoveries in the prang included wide bracelets encrusted with gems, a head-dress made with filigree gold as well as one solid gold head-dress adorned with precious stones, a five-piece crockery set for betel nuts, two spittoons and gold coins with Arabic inscriptions (most of these finds can be seen in the Chandra Kasem Museum). <br />
<br />
The Wat Ratchaburana prang is in a mixture of the Sri Lankan and Burmese styles that meld to create a wholly new architectural style. Some of the upper section is been quite well preserved. <br />
<br />
There was once a square platform with small chedis at every corner. Two more chedis at the crossroads contained the ashes of the two royal brothers, while a third commemorates Queen Si Suriyothai, who rode on an elephant into battle against the Burmese disguised as a man in 1550 and saved the life of her husband, only to perish herself. <br />

<br />
<br />
In northeastern Thailand, a kilometer from the shores of the vast Mekong River stands the exotic temple complex of That Phanom on the sacred hill of Phu Kamphra. According to the earliest known legends, the original sanctity of this site derived from visits by Kakusandha, Konagamana, and Kassapa, the Buddhas of the three previous ages. Long after these mythical visits the Buddha of our current age made a pilgrimage to the sacred hill to venerate the relics of the earlier Buddhas. Accompanied by his chief disciple, Ananda, the Buddha journeyed east from India to Phu Kamphra (legends say he actually flew) visiting other sacred places along the way. While at the sacred hill the Buddha telepathically communicated with another disciple, giving him instructions that following his death the disciple should bring the Buddha's breastbone relic to the hill. Legends say that this relic was later brought to That Phanom and that a reliquary was established to protect and enshrine it. In the Theravada Buddhist traditions of Sri Lanka, Burma and Thailand it is commonly thought that the Buddha, shortly before his demise, made an extended journey throughout the region of Southeast Asia to visit sacred sites of earlier Buddhas and also to lend support to the emerging Buddhist monastic tradition. No historical evidence, however, confirms that such a journey ever took place. Scholarly interpretation of the legend suggests that it was a method the Theravada sect used to mark and sanctify Buddhist territory. <br />
<br />
A collection of stories known as the That Phanom Shrine Chronicles tell that the first shrine was built shortly after the Buddha's demise. Archaeologists, however, date the earliest structures to between the sixth and tenth centuries AD, with the present form of the temple being established by the Lao kings of Vientiane in the fifteenth or sixteenth century. The centerpiece of the temple is a 57 meter tall That, or Lao style Chedi, decorated with 110 kilograms of gold. The Chedi is known as a popular ‘wish-fulfilling place’ and has a curious ritual whose origins are lost in time. Pilgrims will first purchase a small bird held captive in a finely woven bamboo cage. Carrying the caged bird with them while walking round the temple, the pilgrims will pray at various Buddha images and pre-Buddhist spirit-stones. This period of prayer may last from five minutes to more than an hour. Finally, the bird is freed to the skies in the hopes that its release will speed the pilgrim’s prayers to heaven. While pilgrims visit the shrine of That Phanom throughout the year, during the seven-day period of the annual festival held in late January or early February the temple complex is alive with the energy of many thousands.<br />
<br />
The Lak Muang spirit-stone is a pre-Buddhist artifact denoting the center of a place of geomantic importance. It is interesting to compare this ancient Southeast Asian practice of marking power places with a standing stone to the identical traditions found in many other regions of the world. Inspecting the carvings on the stone, we find an iconographic representation depicting a serpent or a dragon; this being an archaic symbol of the Earth spirit, which appears mysteriously and universally at sacred places all across the planet. <br />
<br />
That Phanom is also considered an important sacred site because of its listing among the twelve pilgrimage centers of the twelve-year animal cycle. This calendar system, known in Thai as naksat pi, is based on a duodenary cycle of years, each year being associated with a particular animal. The naksat pi system has been in use among the northern Thai since at least the thirteenth century, when they emerged as the dominant people of the area, yet most likely it dates from a much earlier period. In the Yuan tradition of Theravada Buddhism in northern Thailand, it is considered beneficial for a person to make a pilgrimage to that shrine which corresponds to the year of his or her birth. It is usual for the pilgrimage to be taken on the birth date of the person and particularly on the anniversary of the same year of the twelve-year cycle in which they were born (for example, their thirty-sixth or forty-eighth birthday). While at the shrine the pilgrim will utilize the services of a Buddhist monk to conduct the sup chata ritual which is believed to strengthen the pilgrim’s khwan or vital force, ensure their long life, gain merit, and attract the blessings of various pre-Buddhist and Buddhist spirits. These twelve shrines are also considered highly sacred because of their association with the life of the Buddha. According to legendary sources, seven of the shrines were visited by the Buddha, four were not visited by the Buddha but contain his relics, and the fifth, mysteriously, is in heaven. Historically, it is known that a number of these shrines are connected in legend with pre-Buddhist kingdoms and were therefore recognized as sacred places long before they became associated with the life of the Buddha. The names, locations and associated animals of each shrine are listed below:<br />

Garuda is the king of birds, half-man and half-bird, the vehicle of Vishnu, a Hindu God. Descriptions of Garuda vary from legend to legend. He usually represented as having the head, beak, wings, and talons of an eagle. With the torso like that of human. His face appears white, his wings red, and shiny golden body. </div><br />
<br />
Some texts, however, give different descriptions. Sometimes, he is described as having eight limbs, with six being human limbs, two are legs with strong eagle like claws. Another text says Garuda has either four or two limbs. <br />
<br />
When he shown with two limbs, he will be holding a Naga in each talon.<br />
<br />
There are many Garuda related legends, some are derived from the Pali and Sanskrit literatures. The major Sanskrit literatures are the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Puranas. The main Pali source is the Tripikata.<br />
<br />
In the Sanskrit literature, Garuda is a son of Kasyapa. Legends says that Kasyapa was a powerful sage. He had many wives, two were his favorites. These two were sisters, Vinata and Kadru respectively. Kadru request a blessing from her husband that she should have a large number of children, eventually she gave birth to 1,000 Naga sepents. The Nagas chose to live underworld in the ocean depth. Vinata requested from her husband that she should have only two sons and should be more powerful than the children of Kadru. In time, she laid 2 eggs. Vinata waited for 500 years, but the eggs showed no sign of change. Vinata grew impatient to know what inside and broke one of the eggs herself. <br />
<br />
Inside the egg was a boy with a well-developed upper body but has no limbs below his torso. Knowing that his mother was the cause of his premature birth and the reason of his deformity, the boy was furious. He cursed his own mother that she should become a slave of her sister, Kadru, for 500 years. After casting the curse, he rose up high in the sky and flew away, and finally settled down as the charioteer of the Sun God, Surya (Suriya). He was later known as Aruna (Arun).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu3KFsB9nGt6HMlNVPuAjLlkTbUsKz0CJnP5fnWWmc2lMkScOmPBFM0PjfBSRnPfrmYKx7C2yeH7YrIs_CHLwnQ6xCeh3tHsNtbz6MRYGJ7KG6BHrkM6VWEAuDXyrVrSZQZKV-8HUaQ-0/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu3KFsB9nGt6HMlNVPuAjLlkTbUsKz0CJnP5fnWWmc2lMkScOmPBFM0PjfBSRnPfrmYKx7C2yeH7YrIs_CHLwnQ6xCeh3tHsNtbz6MRYGJ7KG6BHrkM6VWEAuDXyrVrSZQZKV-8HUaQ-0/s640/2.jpg" width="514" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Vinata second egg finally hatched 500 years later, and out came Garuda. The body of Garuda expended so large in all directions. His top most part reached the sky. His body shone with brilliant lustre that many gods mistaken him for an incarnation of the god of fire, Agni.</div><br />
<br />
The curse of Aruna on his mother finally came true. At the time, Vinata and Kadru were having a quarrel about the color of the horse produced from the churning ocean ceremony. (The main purpose of the ceremony was to produce the Amarita or the elixir of immortality.) <br />
<br />
Vinata believed the horse was pure white in color. Kadru said it was grayish in color, hence the horse should have some strands of black hairs. Their quarrel led to a wager by which the loser would become a slave of the winner for 500 years.<br />
<br />
The horse was in fact pure white. Kadru knew it and didn want to lose the bet, she then ordered her Naga sons to assume the shape of horse hairs black in color and stick themselves alternating the real hairs to make the horse appear grey. The innocent Vinata lost the bet and became Kadru slave and was kept in custody underworld among the Naga population.<br />
<br />
Garuda found this out later from his mother about the cunning trick. He made up his mind to free his mother. Garuda negotiated with Nagas by bringing them the Amarita (elixir of immortality) in exchange for his mother freedom. <br />
<br />
He fought a troop of gods led by God Indra. But Garuda too powerful, even the lighting bolt, the most powerful weapon of Lord Indra, was broken. Garuda eventaully obtained the elixir of immortal. The fight intervened by the great God Vishnu (Narayana). The two are very powerful and no one can defeat another. The two then came to terms. Lord Vishnu gave Garuda a boon which made Garuda immortal, and promised him a higher seat than his own. In turn, Garuda agreed to become the vehicle of Vishnu. Garuda planned a trick by asking Lord Vishnu to follow him secretly and take away the elixir after Nagas have released his mother.<br />
<br />
It the boon which Garuda obtained from Lord Indra (Some legends said from Lord Vishnu) that makes Nagas the natural food of Garuda. Generally, Garuda catches a Naga by holding the Naga with his talons and beak by Naga tail then split open the belly, eat only the fat and drop the body back to the sea.<br />

<span style="background-color: yellow; color: red; font-size: large;"><strong>象征</strong></span><br />
泰国的国家和皇室标示叫做"Garuda"(伽楼罗,揭路荼),这是一个神话式的半人半鸟的形象,据传说是印度教主神之一毗瑟挐(Vishnu)的坐骑,用以装饰普密蓬•阿杜德国王的节杖和皇室旗帜。在泰国的许多政府机构部门都将揭路荼运用到他们的徽章上。此外,Garuda还象征着“受皇室任命、指派”的意思,对于那些获得杰出经济成就或在慈善事业显著的公司机构,此标志表示是受皇室正式批准的。但颁发这样的标志的情况是很少的,这将被视为一种崇高的荣誉。 <br />
<span style="background-color: yellow; color: red; font-size: large;"><strong>迦楼罗</strong></span><br />
按照《迦楼罗及诸天密言经》的说法,就是中国的金翅大鹏鸟或大鹏金翅鸟,是印度教和佛教典籍中记载的一种神鸟。<br />
<br />
迦楼罗人面鸟身形,其身肚脐以上如天王形。只有嘴如鹰喙,绿色,面呈忿怒形,露牙齿,肚脐以下也是鹰的形象。头戴尖顶宝冠,双发披肩,身披璎珞天衣,手戴环钏,通身金色。身后两翅红色,向外展开,其尾下垂,散开。泰国国徽上的迦楼罗就是此形象。<br />
<br />
迦楼罗是古代世界性的巨鸟崇拜在印度地区的体现,如古埃及的长生鸟、起于两河流域而后流传于西方世界的狮鹫(半狮鹫、格里芬)、古希腊的福尼克斯(凤凰、火鸟)、阿拉伯的Roc(大鹏、神雕、神鹰)、中国的大鹏、凤凰、印第安人的雷鸟等等。 <br />
<br />
从迦楼罗临死全身遭火焚的特点来看,其与埃及的长生鸟应该有着更为紧密的联系,由于印度当地多毒蛇,人们又为其加上了捕食毒蛇的能力,作为崇拜的对象。 <br />
<br />
迦楼罗崇拜随着印度教和佛教的传播,在东亚、东南亚和南亚地区,都有很大的影响。人们把迦楼罗当作力量的象征崇拜。印尼的Garuda航空也以它为标志。 <br />
<br />
在中国,迦楼罗结合了古代传说中的大鹏形象,成为了佛祖的坐骑之一,在西游记中也有出场。据传说,名将岳飞,就是金翅大鹏鸟转世。 <br />

<br />
大鹏金翅鸟的故事在<<摩诃婆罗多>>和诸多<<往世书>>中都有提到.他是迦叶大仙(KASYAPA)和维妮塔(VINITA)的儿子.维妮塔一日生下一个蛋,出生之后就是大鹏金翅鸟.他一出生就长的非常巨大,翅膀可以大的遮天,眼睛的光芒如同闪电,他一振动翅膀连山都要振动.<br />
<br />
金翅鸟也有一个名字叫毗那夜迦(VINAYAKA)和象头神同一个名字.因为人们认为他也可以移走一切的障碍.金翅鸟受到印度人的崇拜,来源于他可以吃掉毒蛇.因为他的母亲维妮塔和天蛇的母亲卡杜(KADRU)结有很大冤仇,所以他到处寻找毒蛇来吃掉.(UDAAR注:天蛇,梵文NAGA,发音为那嘎.传说中的毒蛇,通常非常巨大,有无数的头.这个词传到中国的时候,被佛教徒译为了龙.也就是天龙八部中的龙部.所以佛教徒都以为金翅鸟是吃的龙,实际不是如此.很明显的是这个无爪又施毒的蛇形东物和中国的五爪龙是完全不同的概念.龙树菩萨,梵文NAGARJUNA,照理也应该译成蛇树才对.我们可以看到西藏唐卡所绘的龙树菩萨都是以七头巨蛇作为标识,而不是用的中国的龙).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj59CO0Jaq8e8uwcutQyyv5ojGJpX-PGR8Qs4cpoMlr7GOpBHzipn9HbqRoo7sMn7DTLayv9DAyTYFea8NzmNrq59_Zp7y2E1Neh3LwSm3jaAh9SQcEpqPIny-vcd5mlY9Yaw-zsZdMl1M/s1600/113e097dbd8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj59CO0Jaq8e8uwcutQyyv5ojGJpX-PGR8Qs4cpoMlr7GOpBHzipn9HbqRoo7sMn7DTLayv9DAyTYFea8NzmNrq59_Zp7y2E1Neh3LwSm3jaAh9SQcEpqPIny-vcd5mlY9Yaw-zsZdMl1M/s640/113e097dbd8.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">金翅鸟的巨大能力引起了天界的恐慌,给他自己也带了危险.有一次他张开翅膀把月亮都遮住了.雷神因陀罗决定和他开战,结果天界的诸天都被金翅鸟打败了.但是金翅鸟却败在了维湿奴大神的手下,于是他温顺的成为维湿努神的坐骑.而金翅鸟的哥哥乌茹德(URUD),也被称为阿茹那(ARUNA)则是太阳神的御驾师.而金翅鸟的儿子佳塔由(Jatayu)在维湿奴神化现为罗摩的时候,为了保护悉塔女神而死于罗婆那的毒手,罗摩神亲手为他举行了火葬仪式.</div><br />
<br />
还有传说,金翅鸟曾在天界盗取不死甘露去赎去自己被千头天蛇之母卡杜所绑架的母亲.但是被因陀罗发现了.他们发生了激烈的争斗,最后甘露是被夺回去了,但是因陀罗的雷电金刚杵却被打的粉碎.可见金翅鸟的威力之大.<br />
<br />
印度是一个很多毒蛇的热带国家,印度人民经常受到毒蛇的袭击.而金翅鸟是毒蛇的克星,所以人们经常念颂金翅鸟的咒语来防范毒蛇的袭击.但是金翅鸟的神像并不单独供奉,他通常在维湿奴的寺庙里,和大神一起接受人间的供奉.<br />
<br />
由于金翅鸟的强大保护作用,佛教也将他作为天龙八部之一供奉,并且比丘每日都会用米饭喂养金翅鸟以免其吞食蛇类,不同的是佛教认为世间上有很大鹏鸟,而印度教只相信有一个宇宙里只有一位大鹏鸟.而在泰国,金翅鸟是作为泰国皇家的象征,到处可见其像.而藏传佛教中更流传着世间大鹏鸟,化身大鹏鸟,智慧大鹏鸟等不同分法,智慧大鹏鸟更是作为出世间的菩萨受到信徒的供奉,当然无论哪种金翅鸟,都与它能降伏龙病(蛇)的原型分不开的,据说是莲花生未曾调伏龙(蛇)的心,导致藏地会有龙病不断因此才传下了许多金翅鸟的修法.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red; font-size: large;">龍波醒2522大鵬金翅鳥-鷹神(Garuda)</span></strong><br />
在泰國有幾位大師制作大鵬金翅鳥(鷹神)很出名的,一位是龍波屈哪,另一位是龍波包,而最有名的應該算是屈班那(Wat Bangna )的龍波醒了。上圖是大師在佛曆2522年制作的第一期大鵬金翅鳥,材質有黃金(聽說但未遇見過)、純銀、那瓦和銅質四種,而上圖這面是純銀制造的。泰國人相信佩戴大鵬金翅鳥能辟邪擋險、令人信服和增加權力與威望,而泰國各大政府機構也用大鵬金翅鳥作為徽章,可想而知大鵬金翅鳥在泰國人民心目中的地位。大師在佛曆2531年圓寂,所以現在市場上很少見到這面大鵬金翅鳥,去年曾在一牌店見到一面銅質的,但純銀制做的還沒在牌店見到過。這面也是拜託泰國友人找回來的,因我對大鵬金翅鳥有一種莫名其妙的鐘愛。<br />

Nangkwak figures were first built by bronze casting dated back to the early of Ratanakosin period or some 180 years ago, contemporarily <br />
<br />
with Ratanakosin bronze Buddha images. Before and after WWII there were also many magic-guru monks made Nangkwak figures from various materials such as bronze, holy-powder plaster, wood, buffalo horn and ivory tusk etc. <br />
<br />
Nangkwak story in Thai mythology related to the Thai-version Ramayana epic. Nangkwak was the only daughter of a great saint named Pooh Chao Khao Khieu who had friendship with a demon named Thao Unaraj or Thao Gok Kanak. <br />

<br />
<br />
Pooh Chao Khao Khieu had heard that unpleasant news and sent his only daughter named "Nangkwak" to be Prachand's friend-in-escort.<br />
<br />
Marvelous enough, people turned back to pay benevolence to Prachand and brought a lot of eatables and valuables for the two ever since. <br />
<br />
The appearance of Nangkwak came simultaneously with bonanzas! Thai sellers worship her as a goddess of fortune. Nangkwak figures have popularly been made both large size for house altar, and small size for neck hanging. <br />
<br />
NA-SHA-LI-TI is a 4-syllable mantra of Nangkwak praying for the good luck and fortune to come. It's very effective if you pray with a concentrated mind. <br />

This temple itself is large and shares its sprawling complex with monastic cells, schools, offices and other buildings. There is a large peaceful garden of palm trees in the back. It is also the home of the Center for Vipassana Meditation and Buddhist University, the most important center for the study of Buddhism and meditation. </div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div>Wat Mahathat predates earlier than the founding of Bangkok in 1782. It was then the First Class Royal Monastery of Ratchaworamahaviharn, Maha Nikai Sect, , initially called Wat Salak which was founded since Ayuthaya period. It was a royal temple in Thon Buri period then renovated by Somdej Phra Bowonratchao Maha Surasinghamat in 1783 and renamed as Wat Nipphanaram in 1783. King Rama I had all the Tripitaka thoroughly reviewed in this temple which he renamed it to Wat Phra Sri Sanphet. He eventually renamed the monastery once again to Wat Mahathat. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Although the Phra Somdej amulets first created by Somdej Phra Buddhacharn Toh may be the best known and some of the most expensive amulets in the market, they is another yet famous Phra Somdej amulets in Thailand – “Somdej Orahang” amulets consecrated by Somdej Phra Sungkharach Suk Kaiturn at Wat Mahathat.</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"></span><br />

According to Buddhist records in Thailand, the sacred monk was born on a Friday in the second month of B.E.2276 (A.D.1733) during the reign of King Boromkote of Ayuthaya’s dynasty. He was called only as “Suk” during his childhood. His family was poor and so he was sent to a Buddhist monastery at a young age to become a novice monk. Little novice Suk was a talented child and he easily understood the many difficult scriptures and Buddhist teachings that were taught to him by his Acariyas (teachers). <br />
<br />
<br />
In the year B.E.2294 (A.D.1751), at the age of 18 years old, little novice Suk was finally ordained as a Bikkhu and followed several learned monks into the mountains to practice the Buddhist faith. <br />
<br />
In B.E. 2310 (A.D.1767), when Somdej Phra Sungkharach Suk Kaiturn was 34 years of age, the Burmese army invaded Thailand and destroyed Ayuthaya. Somdej Pra Sungkahrach Suk Kaiturn moved to Thonburi, then the new capital of Thailand and was appointed as the abbot of Wat Tahoy.<br />
<br />
King Rama I, also born during the period of King Boromkote in B.E.2279 established Bangkok as the new capital of Thailand in B.E.2325 (A.D.1782). He invited Somdej Phra Sungkharach Suk Kaiturn to take up residence at Wat Rachsittaram or known as Wat Plub. <br />
<br />
In B.E.2363 (A.D.1820), he was appointed as the fourth Supreme Patriach of Thailand (then known as Siam). He became resident at Wat Mahathat for around one year before he passed away at the age of 90 in meditation posture in his simple and quiet meditation room. He had predicted the day he would pass away and held the kind benevolent smile just like the Buddhist light during his passing away.<br />
<br />
Somdej Phra Sungkharach Suk Kaiturn was respected as an important living witness to Thai history as he was the only Supreme Patriarch to have seen during his lifetime, the Burmese destruction of Ayuthaya city and three different Thai Dynasties namely Ayuthaya, Thon Buri and Ratanakosin. <br />
<br />
Somdej Phra Sungkharach Suk Kaiturn was highly respected for his sacred power and many people having experienced his miracles became his faithful devotees. Popular legend says that this great monk could even call wild hens and cocks from the forests into the temple through his sacred spells. So it was that he became known as Kaiturn which literally meant “wild hens and cocks".<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">The Birth of Somdej Orahang Amulets </span></strong><br />
It was also recorded that during his stay at Wat Rachsittaram (Wat Plub), Somdej Phra Sungkharach Suk Kaiturn dedicated his life to develop the temple. He was highly respected for his devotion by many Kings of the Ratanakosin Dynasty including King Rama I, II, III, and IV. In particularly King Rama II, III and IV who often visited his temple to listen to his teachings and Lord Buddha's Dharma. <br />
<br />
Somdej Phra Sungkharach Suk Kaiturn spread Buddhism for seventy years and there is no clear record as to when he started to make amulets or how many he had made. Because of his fame and sacred power, many devotees then asked him to create a series of sacred amulets and in B.E.2360 (A.D.1817) according to some documented record, the first series of Somdej Orahang amulets were created and known as “Phim Kesplaewplerng”. <br />
<br />
These amulets were created during his residence at Wat Plub. After the first series he was asked continuously to create more amulets which he did and were generally distributed free to both the poor and the general public.<br />
<br />
It wasn’t until the time that he was appointed as the Supreme Patriach and relocated to Wat Mahathat, he actually retained many of his Somdej Orahang amulets in the temple’s Chedis. Based on some historical account, the amulets are 22 years older than the famous Somdej Wat Rakang amulets.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Materials Used In The Making of Somdej Orahang</span></strong><br />
According to Buddhist records, there are several materials used in the making of Somdej Orahang. Below are 9 of the most common ingredients used; <br />
<br />
1. Flower Stems<br />
2. Bees' Honey<br />
3. Sugar Cane<br />
4. Banana<br />
5. Tung Oil<br />
6. Mussel Shells<br />
7. Lime<br />
8. Scripture Powders<br />
9. Dried rice grains, etc. <br />
The above ingredients seem to have some similarities used by Somdej Toh in making the famous Somdej Wat Rakang. As mentioned earlier, Somdej Phra Sungkharach Suk Kaiturn was Somdej Toh’s teacher.<br />
<br />
Note: For the benefit of knowledge seeking, we have managed to source from the internet a well documented picture of an old Somdej Orahang amulet.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdmaHsI32HyBFZXsELZsQkxT-cdhauAfXyDdmh65vaTOpdSK7sCeylNDd786_XVFi3aBCb1EE9u8dEPLrbcTTmiOcvvwFayyHm67YEKE7Gk4yS4-NXB1-IPdqHHUkYaFjJhjsUMd_C2dE/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdmaHsI32HyBFZXsELZsQkxT-cdhauAfXyDdmh65vaTOpdSK7sCeylNDd786_XVFi3aBCb1EE9u8dEPLrbcTTmiOcvvwFayyHm67YEKE7Gk4yS4-NXB1-IPdqHHUkYaFjJhjsUMd_C2dE/s640/6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 16pt;">In total there are known to be 5 phims of the sacred Somdej Orahang amulets. Namely they are Phim Sungkati, Phim Tankoo, Phim Kesplaewplerng, Phim Toh Kung, and Phim Lek.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 16pt;">The most important feature of Somdej Orahang is the reverse side containing the word “Orahang” that was hand written by Somdej Phra Sungkharach Suk Kaiturn. Some later batches were stamped with the word “Orahang’. The collection values are the same for the amulets that are hand written and those which are stamped.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkT8OjKD5XFyB3ohqL-cFtRFULors9V_W7K6U0qr9TEY_tFyz2EVR3k9bqBk5SQJ4wDKWIgImNtd3jiMdq1lC7DQmqMaB5pDTjLIkWaonpdbVX8ZgqFfYveScURnmS2EEjfk6Rx5DvuYI/s1600/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="434" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkT8OjKD5XFyB3ohqL-cFtRFULors9V_W7K6U0qr9TEY_tFyz2EVR3k9bqBk5SQJ4wDKWIgImNtd3jiMdq1lC7DQmqMaB5pDTjLIkWaonpdbVX8ZgqFfYveScURnmS2EEjfk6Rx5DvuYI/s640/7.jpg" width="640" /></a> <br />
<br />
<br />
1. Phim Sungkati The amulet sized is 2cm x 3.5cm and the Buddha image sits on a three-level base. On the reverse of the amulet is engraved with the word “Orahang”. These amulets were then divided into two further groups namely Phim Siarnto (or big-head Buddha image) and Phim Siarnlek (or small-head Buddha image). The most distinguished aspect of the phim is the piece of monk rope which is called Sungkati beautifully detailed in the amulet. The amulets were made of Somdej Phra Sungkharach Suk Kaiturn’s white sacred powders.<br />
<br />
2. Phim Tankoo The amulet sized is 2cm x 3.5cm and the Buddha image sits on a three-level base. The most distinguished aspect of this phim is the two laps of the Buddha image which are slightly wider than those of Pim Sungkati.<br />
<br />
3. Phim Kesplaewplerng The size of this amulet is 2cm x 3.5cm and the Buddha image also sits on a three-level base, but without the word “Orahang” on the reverse. The most distinguished aspect of this mould is the topknot of the Buddha, which appears like a burning fire flame. This phim is called “Kesplaewplerng” as this literally translated into “Burning-flame hairs”. The materials used were white sacred powder.<br />
<br />
4. Phim Toh Kung The size of this amulet is 2cm x 3.5cm and the Buddha image sits on a three-level base and the word “Orahang” was embossed (not carved) on the reverse. The most distinguished aspect of this phim is the colour of the amulet which is quite red in appearance due to the fact that they were made from red sacred powder ground from various kinds of auspicious Thai plants. Hence, the use of red sacred powder is opposed to the mainly white powder in other phims.<br />
<br />
5. Phim Lek This amulet is only 2.3cm high and the Buddha image sits on a three-level base and the word “Orahang” was carved on the reverse. The most distinguished aspect of this mould is the size which is clearly smaller than the other 4 phims. Somdej Phra Sungkharach Suk Kaiturn’s white sacred powder is used in Phim Lek. <br />
<br />
For comparison purpose, a later made Somdej Orahang B.E.2551 (see picture) is featured here to assist in the analysis. The size of this new amulet is 2cm x 3.5cm similar in actual size to the ancient Somdej Orahang pendants. Please notice the bundle of hair in this new batch has the descriptions of Phim Kesplaewplerng or "Burning-flame hairs". At the reverse side is the sacred word "Orahang" which is Somdej Phra Sungkharach Suk Kaiturn's trademark for all his amulet creations from the past and handed down to today's generation. <br />
<br />
We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to showcase this new but yet historical amulet. The purpose for making this new Somdej Orahang batch is for renovating Wat Mahathat's buildings and structures inside its temple compound. In addition, the year B.E.2551 is in conjunction with His Majesty King Bhumiphol's 80th Birthday that was celebrated throughout the Thai Kingdom. Therefore, we felt that this batch of amulet is indeed made with good cause and is worthy for collection. <br />
<br />

<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"> The Discovery of Ancient Somdej Orahang</span></strong> <br />
To this present day, some of the early Somdej Orahang age is about 160-190 years old. Three Phims were discovered at Wat Mahathat. There are Phim Tankoo, Phim Sungkati and Phim Lek. Some of the amulets were also covered with gold leaf and the word “Orahang” on the back was slightly larger than that of the amulets found at the Kru (Chedi) in Wat Sroi Tong.<br />

Only three Phims are discovered at Wat Sroi Tong namely Phim Tankoo, Phim Sungkati and Phim Toh Kung. Though some people believed that all amulets found at this temple were made by Somdej Phra Sungkhrach Suk Kaiturn, it was revealed by a senior monk of the temple here that they were actually created by Luang Por Kui, whom was the close follower of the patriarch.<br />
<br />
<br />
Interestingly it was also recorded that the Phim Toh Kung amulets were actually created by a Chinese millionaire, who is devoted to the amulets. The Chinese believe that red is the color of prosperity therefore they had chosen the red sacred powder to create this amulet.<br />

A net reader sent me a message attached with the above pictures and requested for a review or comment.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">The following was my comment:</span></strong> <br />
Your Somdej Keschaiyo as on the attached pic: the imprint or Phim and its texture are NOT correct when compare to standard items.<br />
<br />
What does it mean by the above answer ? <br />
If you are REAL collectors and read the above message, you will exactly understand-- that's SOFT sentence for a FAKE or IMITATION amulet. <br />
<br />
In every amulet examination we will first check its IMPRINT (Phim) and then the TEXTURE. If the imprint is NOT correct, we will go no further. And the examination finishes just right there--it's FAKE. But if the imprint is OK, we will go on checking its texture, i.e. materials, surface pattern, and oldness etc.<br />

<strong><span style="color: red;">Professional Techniques Original Ridge Face</span></strong><br />
(1) Please notice the slight arc ridge on the original face of 7-tiered Somdej Keschaiyo, Phim Niyom. The amulets with such the complete face have only 1-2 %. Most of the images' face developed to more flatly due to the wear caused by rubbingly using, or mold modifications.<br />
<br />
As to the old-time technique the mold was carved from some kinds of soft rock, not from metal as of present popular craftmanship.<br />

The originally fundamental amulet of 7-tiered Somdej Keschaiyo, Phim Niyom. The amulet depicts the head, chest and arms of high relief, but these details were later developed to different forms due to the wear of the mold itself and mold modifications.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Professional Techniques Original Body and Arms</span></strong><br />
1. Original sharp-bend upper arm, only 20-30 % of amulets have this specific characteristic, and the 70-80% left have developed to the full curved style.<br />
2. Original semi sharp-bend elbow. Most of the amulets have developed to normal curved elbow. <br />
<br />
3. Original high groove chest. Only 10-15 % of the amulets have the chest of this style, and 85-90% left have developed to the low-groove chest type.<br />
<br />
4. Original sharp-pointed end of the upper arm pierces into the shoulder, only 2-3 % of the amulets have this specific characteristic. Such the sharp-pointed end was later removed due to mold modifications.<br />
<br />
The old-time mold was carved from some kinds of soft rock. The mold was using to manufacture the amulets quite a while, then it began wearing. Mold modifications caused the amulet image organs especially the arms and chest were developed to different forms.<br />

<strong><span style="color: red;">Professional Techniques Comparative Study On Transformations</span></strong><br />
The 7-tiered Somdej Keschaiyo has many spots for authentication checking, such as the head stem, head, ears, chest and arm belt etc. The arm belt is the most important spot. Arm belts of the amulets look similarly but they are really subtly different in shape. If we understand it thoroughly, we could differentiated the fakes and the real effectively. <br />
<br />
Many times that Somdej Keschaiyos have been errorneously judged in amulet competitions--the real became fake and the fakes became real--due to unqualified judges. In a recent competition, a Somdej Keschaiyo was wrongly judged--again. The real-judge-fake amulet was later bought by a highly authoritative veteran collector who are not involved in competition circle.<br />

7-tiered Somdej KesChaiyo was made and blessed by Somdej Phra Phutdhacharn (Toh) of Wat Rakang with high age of nearly 150 years. Quite a long time gradual dryness resulted cracks with specific linear patterns.<br />

The above pic is 7-tiered Somdej Keschaiyo Phim Niyom with very fine texture and porcelain-like surface. Cracks on the front surface of this kind will mostly be geometrically linear characteristics. Linear cracks also help much on the amulet authentication.<br />

7-tiered Somdej Keschaiyo, Phim Niyom Hi-powder Content Texture<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Professional Techniques</span></strong><br />
The above 7-tiered Somdej Keschaiyo, Phim Niyom is of "KaePhong" or hi-powder content texture. The inner white chalky texture looks very much like Somdej Phra Phutdhacharn(Toh)'s old version Phra Somdej BangKhunPhrom(BKP). And if the texture of a Somdej Keschaiyo amulet is hi-powder content, it is often found that crack characteristic in the inner area of amulet front side is like paddy field surface in a hot dry season while edge cracks are still linear pattern. Please see above pic's pointing arrows:<br />
1. SomdejBKP-like chalky texture<br />
2. Linear crack at the edge<br />
3. Paddyfield-like cracks<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Conclusion</span></strong><br />
From the first start to this end page of 7-tiered Somdej Keschaiyo, Phim Niyom series have told you something -- especially on how complicated it is in an amulet authentication. Not only the Somdejs carry such complicated nature but also do many and many rather old amulets. Real veteran experts and real qualified who know amulets thoroughly and deeply have NOT a lot. Their expertise is based on a long year experiences of having seen real pieces and endeavoring researches. Meanwhile, so many QUACK experts have also been seen in amulet circle of today. They have often judged amulets erroneously and reversingly due to their lacking of real profound knowledge.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">在偏遠的吉蘭丹,歷代來皆出產過無數高僧及奇僧,他們這種「入地獄」式的存在,照耀了丹州這個被外人視為「蠻荒」之地,也因為他們努力不懈帶動,丹州建立了無數富有傳奇色彩的巍峨佛寺。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">著如早期著名的臥佛寺及站佛寺(其實是行佛寺),及後期崛起的坐佛寺、雙龍寺及龍船寺,往往教首次膜拜的善信,對其龐然堂皇的建築咋舌不已,嘆為觀止!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">但有言道,山不在高、水不在深,有仙則靈;原來威望駕臨丹州大小佛寺的,並非來自上述「五指佛寺」中任何一間,而是知名度遠遜的「僧王寺」!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">僧王寺名氣不夠上述佛寺響亮,主要是該寺並沒被刻意發展成為著名的旅遊勝地,加上低調作風及長期來沒甚獲傳媒及當局關注,僧王寺對外州人而言,可說是「默默無聞」。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">但這種說法,肯定不包括對本地佛寺有認識者及泰國的善信,對他們而言,僧王寺才擁有至高無上地位,以及威名赫赫代表性佛寺。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">其中奠定該佛寺地位的便是一代神僧--朝坤克隆(CHAOKHUN KHRON)。朝坤意為眾僧之首,克隆是人名;大馬歷史上,首位獲得泰王賜封為一州僧首的神僧,他也是當時並非泰國本土和尚的泰國十大神僧之一!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">賜封他的是拉瑪五世泰王,即續襲後來被拍攝成電影「國王與我」拉瑪四世泰王蒙谷的王位者;僧王寺之名就由他而起。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">受封後,上世紀初可說是僧王克隆的「神話」時代,威望如日中天,聲名遠播海外,無人不知;甚至丹州境內的友族,也尊稱朝坤克隆為「Tok Raja」。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">朝坤克隆後,續承其位的分別是朝坤張及朝坤密,他們也各別獲得泰王賜封,成為統領丹州境內眾佛寺及僧侶的僧王。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">三代各富神奇色彩的僧王,已使得僧王寺奠定王者地位,牢不可動,也使善信心中,永遠緬懷僧王時代。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>住持:法力非正信之道冀注意佛法精微</strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">在遠古荒蠻的時代,村人更在意的是神僧的法力,但實際上,神僧們雖都「身懷絕技」,甚至擁有通靈力量,但這始終並非我佛的正信之道。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">因此,目前掌寺的年輕住持曇文,瞭解到時代進步,正是時候擺脫善信們對高僧必須擁有神奇力量要求,他以身作則,努力擺脫這種非份要求及期望。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">他說,神怪力量始終不是佛法中所著重之處,儘管必然會有許多善信會對他沒懷神力而感失望,但他更希望,善信注意的是佛法精微。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">本身受過高等教育,甚至曾經隻身遠赴斯里蘭卡修讀佛經,而且早前若非師父朝坤密要求,他早已到印度深造更高境界佛法。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">曇文是本地泰裔;為人隨和,說得一口流利英語、國語及福建話,與他談天,往往可查覺到他那不經意流露出來的智慧及抱負,記者有感於如此人中之龍,何 以淺擱鄉野?針對記者所問,他直指在這裡並不快樂,他的理想仍舊是到印度修習佛法,但持著師父去世前的要求,他只好留下當僧王寺住持。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">詢及在他之前的三代僧王都擁有深厚法力,他笑說,先修習佛法吧,等以後老了看看有沒有時間,也許會學一些。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">其實,佛法並沒要求僧人必須修習蠱術或解降術,但鑒於早期的丹州及泰南,充滿蠱毒降害事件,因此德高望重的僧人往往出於慈悲之心,才會通過神力救人,但也無意顯露奇異力量,久而眾人推崇。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">他指出,早期的僧侶因「市場需求」而必須修習天文地理、蠱術降頭及各類草藥的運用,這叫做「方便法」,只是藉此在醫藥設備落後,甚至於近乎零的村落裡行醫救人,吸引善信接受教化。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">他說,目前醫學昌明,僧侶無需再扮演解降及土醫的角色,而他本身也樂得如此,集中精神修讀佛經及到處講解佛經,他曾到過台灣、香港及新加坡等地舉行佛法講座。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">「我努力修習英文,不是為了要做『西方和尚』,而是要方便通過英文,與世界各地善信溝通及藉此讀取英文版佛經,目前我也通過電腦網絡來學習。」</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>逾十村落居民 分批建誡律院</strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">王寺本身並沒號召眾佛寺的權力,卻因為三代僧王都住在該寺,加上目前主持也是位甚具威望的高學問僧侶,無形中使該寺有超然地位。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">更多時候,僧王寺在丹州被當地人習慣叫作「僧王廟」,也許這比較順口,事實上泰式佛寺叫做樾(WAT),泰式名稱為 WAT UTTAMARAM,佔地約十英畝,範疇甚廣及建有多座建築,包括大雄寶殿、誡律院、主持院、僧侶院及骨灰塔等。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">相信早在十九世紀前(丹州曾是泰屬地)的僧王寺原寺並非在現址,而是魯伯仲(LUBOK JONG),後來當時的僧首曇范喇阿巴查叔於一九二五年遷寺至目前村落甘榜克默昔(KG KEMESEK)。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">在僧王制由泰王拉瑪五世開始前,統領眾僧侶者僅叫做僧首,後來才改用更完善的僧王制,僧王受泰王承認及賜封代表權威的扇子。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">第一代僧王朝坤克隆是從一九二五年始擔任至一九六二年去世,他之前的紀錄大多不詳。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">據知,該寺是由遠近十餘個村落(該區村民多達八十巴仙是泰裔)村民,分批輪流為該寺建上最有代表性的誡律院。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">據知,該院是繪圖師遠到泰國曼谷根據泰皇某座建築設計而建,深具泰國傳統建築的精緻及典雅,並有龍、虎、象等吉祥物圍寺,以示護佑。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">僧王職權如同州務大臣,處理及決定州內各佛寺諸類事件,包括擇日為高僧遺體火化。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>僧王遺體留寺內</strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">第二代僧王為朝坤張(CHAOKHUN CHAN)及第三代為朝坤密(CHAOKHUN MIT )。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">朝坤密於五年前去世,遺體經過防腐留存在寺內供善信膜拜敬仰。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">目前該寺住持是巴拉克魯文曇(PHRA KHRU BOON THAM),巴拉克魯是職位,低於僧王,文為人名,曇在泰文是和尚之意,簡叫曇文。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">曇文也是丹州僧團理事會秘書及僧王秘書。他說,僧王的封賜來自兩方面,即丹州蘇丹封為「和尚首領」(ketua sami);而另一則來自泰王的封賜。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">因此,僧王通常必須獲泰王及丹州蘇丹封賜後,才名正言順成為僧王,僧王是由僧團理事會所推薦。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">現任僧王曇裕並沒住在僧王寺(他將於今年杪獲泰王封賜正式僧王號),而是在道北縣另一佛寺;但每當重大會議,仍習慣性選擇在僧王寺進行,偶爾才到其他佛寺進行。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6443e5TexqsigS3j5ugFOEmGO8-9pkjdRle_sucIhsq5qWbSpeG32UdQzjNtBheNpRVlGE2by3qUJ-YiCEZ1E6VLMWiitsfIoUgFvOeHZfaAefJv3qf4Ofi8hBuvquKdYnGQOKFQ3hcQ/s1600/4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6443e5TexqsigS3j5ugFOEmGO8-9pkjdRle_sucIhsq5qWbSpeG32UdQzjNtBheNpRVlGE2by3qUJ-YiCEZ1E6VLMWiitsfIoUgFvOeHZfaAefJv3qf4Ofi8hBuvquKdYnGQOKFQ3hcQ/s320/4.JPG" width="219" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLFiIaPNuMO0mhQ3LN4IL08mEENnS6bBeLBsuMYEolFBJ7epVC6OMzfhkUKIcECsAWbT4SmxXMnrwkPxNpP7w987IaKs1kVgMnOgj3J0_mdZ5iSeAgyhdlAf1ArQPt_94f56CQTdX5QHc/s1600/5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLFiIaPNuMO0mhQ3LN4IL08mEENnS6bBeLBsuMYEolFBJ7epVC6OMzfhkUKIcECsAWbT4SmxXMnrwkPxNpP7w987IaKs1kVgMnOgj3J0_mdZ5iSeAgyhdlAf1ArQPt_94f56CQTdX5QHc/s320/5.JPG" width="213" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinUD44dlghTIyiFh2QFCO1LJWXVXGD_POSvvajc2IcnhXPvNVTJrxzeNocO3atAkx-oJF2gdySG1SSKX42Dfpz_3Fd4q9Q7lql9KL9fqWtIQk75oNFAgwdsxXQSDNFpxPF0Z4fn_2B5uw/s1600/7.1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinUD44dlghTIyiFh2QFCO1LJWXVXGD_POSvvajc2IcnhXPvNVTJrxzeNocO3atAkx-oJF2gdySG1SSKX42Dfpz_3Fd4q9Q7lql9KL9fqWtIQk75oNFAgwdsxXQSDNFpxPF0Z4fn_2B5uw/s320/7.1.JPG" width="217" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">在馬來亞佛教界裏,曾被泰國覲選一百零八位頂尖兒高僧裡,唯一不屬於泰國境內的高僧,就是是信徒尊稱為“督拉惹”的高僧,也是唯一被回教蘇丹王室御封為“督拉惹”的高僧。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">“督拉惹” (Tok Raja),意譯為“督,馬來語是公公、法師、村長及長輩等的意思。“拉惹” 意譯為蘇丹王室,結合起來“督拉惹”應該是,王室僧簡稱為“僧王”</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">更有人稱鑾波為馬來亞“必打王”ปิดตา(Pitta),可想而知,他所鑄造的“必打”是多麼出名的。但簡稱鑾波為“阿祖”或“阿公”,較為有親切感。泰族人稱鑾波為鑾波昆榜錫หลวงพ่อครน บางแซะ (Luangpo Kron Bangsae)。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">鑾波昆出生於1876年(佛曆2419)11月2日,星期四屬鼠年,當時還是暹羅管轄時代的吉蘭丹,父親名叫乃村,母親叫喃喬,姓氏為叻乍倫(Rajcharuen)。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">鑾波昆十二歲時,父親才帶他去越烏塔瑪喃 วัดอุตตมาราม(Watutamaram),也稱越榜錫วัดบางแซะ(Wat Bangsae),隨寺院主持學習泰文,過後又學會了巴利文,而能朗誦經文。鑾波自從進入寺院,學習語文後,就非常喜愛研讀經書,甚少遊樂,與其他孩童性格絕然不同。住持在觀察下,就覺得此孩童,似乎前世曾修過梵行,看他的一舉一動皆有僧侶的風範,他日必為僧中之尊呀!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">鑾波讀完寺院裏的經書後,他也不願回家,繼續留在那裡,幫忙做個方面之事,同時也教村中的小孩們學習泰語。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">到年齡二十一歲時,鑾波要求父母給他籌備出家之事,父母也和親友們為他剃度受戒為僧人。於1895年(佛曆2438)6月15日,為受戒的是柏巴叻差法師,鑾波的法名柏昆普納蘇瓦若(Pra Kron punasuwano)。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">起先鑾波昆用兩年的時間深入的研習大藏經,過後他覺得自己應該出外走走,尋求更高一層的佛學知識。就毅然此外了住持,步行出發去修苦行戒律。但是當時沒有良好的道路,只好翻山越嶺,當然得徒步行走。整個月後來到了一個村莊,有間寺院越蓮乍(Wat Leamchak),得知有位法力高強的高僧,叫做鑾波瑪哈蕾(Luangpo Mahaloi)。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">起初鑾波瑪哈蕾將一本法術秘笈交與督拉惹,他得花上兩年時間方能背誦通笈交裏的經文,接着更深的修禪定法門。其後他也各地去尋訪名師讚研各門法術,而且還在泰南各府,當了多間佛寺的主持。督拉惹多住在宋卡府和高頭廊府一帶,也曾在越考烏(Wat Kao-or)修習多種信物的獨特法門。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">在1925年(佛曆2468)督拉惹辭去越邁考嶺的主持職位,決定回到家鄉,接任越烏塔瑪喃的住持方丈。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">他準備大肆修葺寺院。當時周圍都被膠園團團圍住,寺院的地大約二十多英畝。居民多是以割膠為生,過的生活的相當辛苦,不過每逢節日卻都非常誠心的前來獻僧供佛,有者今天看他們歡天喜地的來獻僧,明天卻穿來他的惡訊,說是被蛇咬死了!因為樹膠園裏毒蛇叢生,尤其是眼鏡蛇,在攻擊人的時候,豎起起來像人一般高。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">鑾波看到這種情景,非常難過,就將以前修苦行戒時所收集的聖土,用來製造避險的信物,這就是初期鑾波製造掩面佛的心意,製成後派發給信徒,信徒佩帶後果真一路平安無事,更奇怪的是毒蛇遇上有佩帶必打佛牌的村民,都會掉頭而逃,不敢接近,甚至碰上老虎、熊也會出現相同的情況,信徒們一傳十,十傳百,鑾波的必打佛像就慢慢的火紅起來。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">從前要去寺院很艱難,因為交通很不方便,只有從水路和火車才能達到寺院,有些信徒甚至跟隨火車鐵軌走了十多哩才到達寺院,因為哥打峇魯到蘭斗班讓間是沒有火車站的,有些信徒都是去到蘭斗班讓在走回頭,但路程也要數哩之遙。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">曾經有比較熟的信徒,要到鑾波昆寺院之前,就會先買了煙。然後才上火車;在火車上,就會走到車頭,找駕駛員打交道,順便送上煙給他,要求火車經過寺院時,儘量放慢車速,好讓他們有機會從火車上跳下去,如此一來就節省了很多時間和精力。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">信徒一到寺院,一般先回和鑾波閒談,鑾波是一位很健談的僧人,不會難以相處,而當信徒要求必打佛時,鑾波就會記錄下他個人的行業和需要,如果是做生意者,鑾波就會多下人緣咒。然後才然後再擇日鋳造制模,集會聖土、經水和石灰等,放進模型裏印出了一枚必打佛牌。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">鑾波才利用小刀片,慢慢的雕出完美的曲線,然後以畫圖的鐵筆,一邊唸經,一邊將符咒寫在必打的身上,再放入法壇上,日夜誦經,直至兩三個月後,信徒才可以奉請佩戴。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">所以每一枚必打佛牌,都是鑾波要每枚佛牌都呈現最完美的形象,讓人看上去,就非常渴望將之擁有。這就是督拉惹必打佛牌最獨特之處。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">關於督拉惹的必打佛牌威力,是不可置疑的,而且為信徒們所公認的,就連暹羅的佛牌收藏家們都會來尋找這塊寶物,現在此必打佛牌,在市場價值大約處於五十萬株左右。即使鑾波昆生前鋳造的銅佛牌市價都值越十萬銖左右呢!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">鑾波昆所住的吉蘭丹州,鑾波在這裡卻沒有受到回教徒的排擠,鑾波有高深的法力,時常幫忙這些馬來同胞解決一些玄難雜症,如中邪、中降、小孩子哭個不停等的問題。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">鑾波昆也常常唸一些經水讓他們帶回去飲用或洗澡,一般可以解決一些玄妙的問題。甚至連吉蘭丹蘇丹也親自覲見鑾波,並向鑾波談起說:他每次去舉行王室儀式時,都會感到頭頂有撕裂頭痛的感覺,因為其中有一點血統奧妙的差距。鑾波就說沒有問題,走入佛舍裏,拿出長約一尺多的手杖。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">此手杖泰語成為“邁古魯”ไม้คูรู(Mai Kru),意譯是師父杖或權杖。此杖的功能是增加權威,避一切的邪惡。鑾波昆就把它交給吉蘭丹蘇丹王。而蘇丹王從此每次開王室大會時,再也不會發生頭痛的問題。而蘇丹永遠手不離此權杖,時常緊隨於身。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">蘇丹為了感謝鑾波昆的恩典,就第一次封泰族高僧為僧王,馬來語就是“督拉惹”(Tok Raya)。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">據說鑾波昆在修苦行戒律時,去到一座山洞,見到一位修行老僧在裡頭居住,鑾波就朝拜此老僧,並向他學習禪定法門。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">過了三個月的守夏節。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">有一天老僧叫鑾波昆來到床前,這時候老僧已病倒再創了,老僧將一支拐杖狀的木棍交給鑾波,說是當年他年輕時候有位高僧交給他的,並吩咐他說他日得遇見有慧根者才傳交於他,並傳授口訣以及製造邁古魯的秘訣,鑾波昆就是從此處學來的。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">鑾波得到邁古魯後,就日夜擁帶在身旁,連睡覺也相隨,覺得得到邁古魯後,自己的法力也隋着增長。不久之後傳邁古魯於他的老僧也圓寂了。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">後來鑾波昆製造了數支邁古魯給有需要的人士,吉蘭丹蘇丹的就是其中一支。這隻邁古魯現在還供奉在蘇丹宮裏哪!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">自從鑾波昆回到家鄉主持寺院,首先就是着手發展教育、建設校舍,並由柏嗎哈曾當老師。接着還籌建了一間全馬甚至暹羅所無悟的,與眾不同的是和大雄寶殿。四方有門進出,前門的十二支大柱子有祥龍盤捲的雕刻,更有許多奇珍異獸的雕像團團圍繞,計有龍、象、獅、虎、鹿、鷹及牛等等。進口處兩旁築了兩座神龕,分別供奉大伯公與觀音大士的聖像,蔚為奇觀。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">從此這裡就變成好像少林寺一樣,有許多僧侶和法師紛紛前來拜在鑾波昆的門下,不是學武術,而是學法術。學成之後可以籍着法術救人於苦難中,這也是鑾波教授法術的宗旨。</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">在1962年(佛曆2505年),鑾波昆剛由新加坡回來之後,就不舒服臥病在床,吉蘭丹蘇丹也親自前來探病。鑾波年事已高,終於在11月19日圓寂,享年88歲,入戒68年,一代聖僧從此沉寂了 .....<br />

<em>Twice blessings: February 9, 10, 11 and May 2,3,4, B.E.2500 by 108 Guru monks at Wat Suthat</em><br />
<em>After blessing the baked clay and lead/tin amulets were sent to all district and provicial offices across the country as gifts for donors to help construct the Buddha Mondhon. Due to a very hugh number of creation, the amulets were unpopular among the people at that time. Many years passed by, only a little number of amulets were distributed. And the hugh number of the amulets of millions were later returned to Buddha Mondhon office. </em><br />
<em>The country BIGGEST ever and only ONCE manufactured amulets of 25 Buddha Sattawas Leelas of nearly 5 million pieces were just run out --no more left-- in these RECENT YEARS. The 25 Buddha Sattawas Leelas took very long time of 40 years to distribute until the last piece was sold out. Before the running out time, many collector investors donated for thousands of amulets each, all are unused with NO BOXES. Some collector investors have ordered new plastic boxes to contain them. A lot of amulets with new plastic boxes were laterly transacted for profit. This might cause a misunderstanding that they were remaking amulets. </em><br />
<em>Due to the old amulets running out from the market in these recent years, and due to the public revelation of a country biggest blessing ceremony that cause the 25 Buddha Sattawas Leelas gainning high popularity at present. The market price trend of the amulets are now gradually increasing. The FAKE MAKERS are now producing the FAKES especially the color pieces due to their high prices, The fake makers arrange the mold by copying from a beautiful piece with sophisticated equipment. Even some details are similar to the original authentic pieces but it is noticeable that the FAKE SIZE are shrunken and their letter grooves at the back is narrower and shallower. </em><br />
<em>Some BY-EAR COLLECTORS have clung to a rumor that there might be a remaking version.This rumor is entirely quite IMPOSSIBLE because the amulets were made ONCE in a very hugh number of nearly 5 millions pieces by the order of the government, and they just ran out in these RECENT years after a long marathon distributing for around 40 years. This means the 25 Buddha Sattawas Leelas were manufactured with OVER SUPPLY quantity. By common sense, no trickery merchants would invest in the over-supply MERCHANDISE. Moreover, the molds--the goverment properties-- were reportedly buried in Buddha Mondhon at the early stage of the construction many ten years ago. And I have never heard of such the remaking rumor in Thailand, but have seen many ghost-produced FAKES. And a lot of those FAKES have been exported to neighboring countries by the cooperation of the two-sided unscrupulous dealers. And possibly, SOME GUY who stands behind the dark curtain and PROCLAIMS none of interest involved might have shared secret benefit-- WHO KNOW??!!. </em><br />
<em>The 25 Buddha Sattawas Leelas are very good great, invaluable amulets because they were blessingly finished by the great 108 Gurus of around 45 years ago. Whoever would like to have one should purchase from the TRUSTABLE dealers only because there are so many FAKES spreading around in the amulet markets, otherwise you will get a FAKE. As mentioned above, the FAKES have same details as the real ones but the size is shrunken and the letter grooves on the back are narrower and shallower.</em> <br />

After some time Queen Suppavasa became pregnant. And the unborn child brought great fortune to the kingdom. Not only did the queen receive many gifts from friends and relatives, but the entire realm became prosperous. Crops grew in abundance, and everyone was well-fed and healthy.</span></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><br />
</div>The queen grew heavy with child but when the natural time for the birth arrived (10 lunar months), she failed to deliver the baby. She grew uneasy as time passed without sign of the birth. She asked the king to invite the Buddha and his Sangha for a meal. After the meal the Buddha said:<br />
<br />
“May Suppavasa, daughter of the Koliya Clan,Be happy, healthy, and give birth to a healthy son.”<br />
<br />
After the Buddha departed, the queen gave birth to a beautiful, healthy son. As a mark of respect for the Buddha, who had eased the queen’s heavy burden with his blessings, he and his retinue were invited to receive alms at the palace for seven days. <br />
<br />
The prince was named Sivali, since from the time of his conception, the people’s hardships were alleviated by virtue of the rich and abundant crops.<br />

One day when Sariputra was on his alms round, he visited the prince and informed him of the suffering that he and his mother had undergone because of the delayed pregnancy.<br />
<br />
Sariputra went on to explain to the prince the unwholesome karma that his mother and he had performed and the resultant effects of their actions:<br />
<br />
In a previous birth Sivali had been born as the king of Benares (Varanasi) and had waged war on a neighboring kingdom in collaboration with his consort, his present mother. He had surrounded the kingdom and told the citizens to surrender or fight. When they refused to surrender, together they decided to surround the city and hold the citizens hostage.<br />
<br />
The citizens, who neither wanted to fight back nor live under the rule of such a king, had refused to surrender. As a result they suffered greatly without food for a very long period. Many of the sick and the elderly had died. Yet, the arrogant king and his queen had not given in. Many months later the king withdrew his troops and released his hostages, but he paid dearly for the suffering he had caused.<br />
<br />
When he died he was reborn in Avici, an infernal world of torment. The delayed pregnancy and the suffering he and his mother had undergone as a result of the delay were the residual effects of this karma.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ordination & immediate Arahant attainment of Sivali</strong><br />
After illustrating the first noble truth of suffering, Sariputra asked the prince if he would like to join the Noble Order so as to pursue a path to the end of all suffering. The prince was overjoyed at this invitation and agreed to join the Order with his mother’s permission.<br />
<br />
The queen, who was a devoted follower of the Buddha, agreed. She escorted Prince Sivali in a procession to the monastery to be ordained. On the day of her son’s ordination, when his hair was being shaved, Sariputra advised Sivali to meditate on the impurities of the body. Sivali was spiritually advanced as a result of previous wholesome actions and was therefore able to focus his mind as instructed. Before the shaving was completed, Sivali attained the supreme wisdom of nirvana.<br />
<br />
<strong>Miracles of Sivali</strong><br />
The monks soon noticed a strange phenomenon when they were with Sivali. He always seemed to have an abundance of rich, fragrant food and the other requisites (robes, shelter, and medicine). And monks who were with him had the opportunity to share in the bounty. Wherever Sivali went, people flocked around to prepare food for him. Sivali was indeed blessed with all the requisites of a monk. And wherever Sivali traveled, he was well taken care of.<br />
<br />
He and his large retinue of monks were once in an uninhabited forest for seven days. Nevertheless, they were not short of food. For the devas made sure that all of their requirements were met. Similarly when Sivali was traveling through the desert, his requisites were provided.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Dm75e84-CINH6Mqv1PwptixsLFzobhXUbDNfJpCXQ-Aj2jZIO1ZG89TNWdtqP-cKxBpWTgMi9JykQs585j43KuLX0gMENd_tXCwo9_LY4p1sdXxQ1TrwkKJ-KSzGqLB820TNey5wDmQ/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Dm75e84-CINH6Mqv1PwptixsLFzobhXUbDNfJpCXQ-Aj2jZIO1ZG89TNWdtqP-cKxBpWTgMi9JykQs585j43KuLX0gMENd_tXCwo9_LY4p1sdXxQ1TrwkKJ-KSzGqLB820TNey5wDmQ/s320/3.jpg" /></a></div><strong>Declaration of Buddha on Sivali</strong><br />
The Buddha, noticing that Sivali was fulfilling a previous aspiration, declared him “foremost among monks in obtaining requisites.” He instructed monks who were traveling on long, difficult journeys through uninhabited terrain to be accompanied by Sivali to ensure that they would have their requisites met.<br />
<br />
In fact, on one occasion when the Buddha and a retinue of 30,000 monks were traveling to visit the monk Khadhiravaniya Revata (Sariputra’s younger brother), they had to cross an uninhabited forest. Ananda, fearing that they would not be able to obtain food in the jungle for such a large number of monks, questioned the Buddha about the logistics of the journey.<br />
<br />
The Buddha assured Ananda that they had nothing to worry about as Sivali was with them. With Sivali present there would be no shortage of food because even the devas reveled in donating provisions.<br />
<br />
<strong>Why Maha Thera Sivali was blessed with such merits</strong><br />
To find the cause of this strange phenomenon, it is necessary to go back many aeons to the time of Padumuttara Buddha. Sivali had been born as a poor man at that time but had the rare opportunity to see that Buddha confer on a monk the designation “foremost among monks in obtaining requisites.” Fascinated by the way everyone desired to provide alms and robes to this monk, Sivali decided that he too would like to hold that position in a future birth.<br />
<br />
He then performed many acts of generosity to Padumuttara Buddha and the Sangha in that ancient dispensation. Having done so, he made an aspiration. Padumuttara Buddha, foreseeing that Sivali’s aspiration would be fulfilled, prophesized that at the time of Gautama Buddha he would be foremost among monks in obtaining requisites.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbpMmi6s1BbCeRE9KPpgOaaphCO8QHL16_MzXse1wPNXVIl-wKbWV6GgghojhxOfmvf6b5kdwn0t5m6SAqMVwU_yebd-TV8y11i6jiCf4jDREp74r0P6Ldd68c4FU-rOkCx8gN3xhfTmg/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbpMmi6s1BbCeRE9KPpgOaaphCO8QHL16_MzXse1wPNXVIl-wKbWV6GgghojhxOfmvf6b5kdwn0t5m6SAqMVwU_yebd-TV8y11i6jiCf4jDREp74r0P6Ldd68c4FU-rOkCx8gN3xhfTmg/s320/4.jpg" /></a></div>From this point onwards, Sivali had started in earnest to work towards his aspiration. At death he was reborn in a celestial realm where he enjoyed many thousands of years of heavenly bliss. The next documented birth-story (jataka) took place at the time of Vipassi Buddha 91 world-cycles (maha-kalpas or “aeons”) before Gautama Buddha. Sivali was then born as a merchant in the city of Bandhumati. The city was preparing a great almsgiving for Vipassi Buddha and his Sangha. <br />
<br />
They realized they were short on curd and honey, a dessert that was often served after the noonday meal. Word was sent all over the city to obtain the required delicacies. Unable to obtain the necessary items, the king’s men raised the price of curd and honey from one gold coin to 100 gold coins.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, Sivali (a merchant who sold curd and honey) was approached and offered 100 gold coins for his merchandise. He was surprised at the unusually high price being offered and enquired for whose consumption they were buying the curd. On being told that it was for Vipassi Buddha and the Sangha, Sivali asked permission to donate his wares. He renewed his aspiration to be foremost among monks in obtaining requisites. <br />
<br />
Vipassi Buddha, seeing that Sivali’s aspiration would be fulfilled, blessed him by saying, “May your aspiration be fulfilled!” Sivali then became a devotee of Vipassi Buddha and practiced the Dharma in that dispensation.<br />
<br />
Resulting from this strong aspiration and the meritorious deeds and efforts performed in previous births, Sivali fulfilled his aspiration to be foremost among in obtaining requisites at the time of Gautama Buddha. Even now, some Buddhists venerate the saint (i.e., enlightened) Sivali and often keep a picture or this discourse in their home as a symbol of abundance of food and prosperity.<br />
<br />
Dhammapada 414 about Ven. Sivali While residing in the Kundadhana Forest near the city of Kundakoliya, the Buddha uttered Verse 414, with reference to the Maha Thera Sivali.Princess Suppavasa of Kundakoliya was pregnant for seven years. <br />
<br />
Thereafter, she was in labor for seven days. She continued to contemplate the rare qualities of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. And in the end she sent her husband to the Buddha to pay obeisance to him on her behalf and to inform him of her condition. When informed of the condition of the princess, the Buddha said, “May Suppavasa be free from danger and from sorrow; may she give birth to a healthy noble son in safety.”<br />
<br />
As the Buddha spoke these words, Suppavasa gave birth to a son at her house. On that very day, soon after the birth of her child, the queen invited the Buddha and the Sangha to their home for alms. The newborn offered filtered water to the Buddha and the bhikkhus. To celebrate the birth of the child, the parents invited the Buddha and the recluses to their home to offer food for seven days. <br />
<br />
When the child grew up he was admitted into the Sangha and came to be known as the monk Sivali. As soon as his head was shaved, he attained enlightenment. He later became famous as the recluse who received the most offerings. As a recipient, he was unsurpassed.<br />
<br />
<br />
On one occasion, the recluses asked the Buddha the reason for Sivali confinement in his mother’s womb for seven years although he had the qualifications to become an arhat. The Buddha replied, “O recluses, in a previous existence, Sivali was the son of a king who lost his kingdom to another king. In trying to regain the kingdom, he had besieged the city on the advice of his mother. As a result, the people in the city were without food or water for seven days.<br />
<br />
This unskillful deed was the cause of Sivali’s imprisonment in his mother’s womb. But now, Sivali has come to the end of all suffering; he had realized nirvana.<br />
<br />
The Buddha then uttered this verse: “Him I call a brahmin who, having traversed this dangerous swamp (passion), this difficult road (defilements), this ocean of life and death (Samsara) and darkness of ignorance (moha), and having crossed the fourfold flood, has reached the other shore (nirvana), who practices tranquility and mindfulness, who is free from craving and doubt, who clings to nothing and remains in perfect peace.<br />
<br />
<strong>Sivali is worshiped by Thai people as the greatest fortune-fetching monk.</strong> <br />
Sivali was an important disciple of Lord Buddha. He was praised by the Lord as the most miraculous monk for fortune.<br />
<br />
<br />
Buddhist legend says the Lord and his large group of diciples made a pilgrimage to a jungle for meditation practices.There were no people but gods and the unseen creatures existed along the way they went by.The deep jungle really caused troubles, no people offered food to Lord Buddha and all his disciple monks. <br />
<br />
<strong>How and where could they get food from? Had they anything to eat ?</strong> <br />
The Lord's closest disciple, Anondha, was strongly worried about that. But the Lord soothed him to worrynothing because Sivali, who had also joined the pilgrimage group, could help bring food for everyone by his great miraculous power.That's true,all gods and unseen creatures in the jungle gathered to pay respect to Sivali and brought a great deal of food for all . <br />
<br />
Small Sivali bronze statues have been widely made carrying the meditation umbrella tent. Sivali charms have also been made by Buddhist guru monks using various materials, such as holy-powder plaster,ivory tusk, wood etc.<br />
<br />
The below paragraph is Sivali mantra praying for good luck and fortune. Scale of success is based on your mind-power or will; the more concentrated, the more successful you are!!<br />

<br />
從泰國大城皇朝時期以來,善加財佛的法像,在每間佛寺皆會供奉及督造。據說善加財佛在世時,長相端正,皮膚呈現如黃金般的色澤,而且貌似佛陀,因而使得很多天人,和一般凡人皆會因為看到他,而將祂視為與佛無別,對待他如同佛陀ㄧ樣,而且甚至有些天女會貪戀其樣貌,而久留不走。<br />
<br />
因而使祂非常困擾,因此他便運用神通力,將自己變為現今眾所看到的樣貌,以免有天人和人將其誤以為佛陀。善加財天資聰穎,非常擅於講經說法,並且非常生動有趣,常常會因此吸引許多人在旁聆聽,而且祂常常會幫助信徒,讓信徒衣食無缺。之後不知隔了多久,善加財尊者仍常常被信徒看到祂雲遊各地講經說法,使得信徒對他的神異深信不已。泰國人之所以會供奉善加財佛,是因為他們希望自己和家人都可以如善加財佛ㄧ樣,身體健康、財源廣進,而且也希望自己如善加財佛ㄧ般,是具有魅力且身形端正莊嚴的人,並且也是希望自己如善加財佛ㄧ樣,能夠得到廣博的智慧,辯才無礙。<br />

<br />
啦壺天神佛像外型全身黑色,頭戴華蓋,豹眼獠牙,身軀高大,口中咬著太陽或月亮,神情十分兇惡,使人望而生畏。 <br />
<br />
一般人也會奇怪,為何神像只有上半身~根據泰國民間記載並轉貼如下﹕<br />
<br />
約於一萬年前,啦壺的父親「他屈神運」,是掌管地獄眾生的夜叉王。啦壺少年時很頑皮,性格好動。他不但武藝高強,還會凌空飛行,時常飛上天宮玩耍。<br />
<br />
有一天,天宮舉行大法會,由天帝「拍意實運」主持,保護神「拍啦啦」擔當總護法,日神與月神及眾天神擔任守衛。這次大法會是集合眾天神的法力,製造威力強大的甘露聖水。<br />
<br />
製造甘露聖水大功告成,眾神正在慶祝。啦壺喜愛熱鬧,好奇地潛入法會窺看,卻被日神和月神發覺,將他驅逐出外,態度十分橫蠻。啦壺不甘受辱,便與日月兩神打鬥起來。他有飛行之術,躍高竄低,非常迅速,轉眼間已失去了蹤跡。<br />
<br />
啦壺亂打亂撞的闖進一個密室,飛翔了一會,感到口乾舌燥,拿起供案上的水壺,便喝得一滴不剩。水壺中的竟然是眾天神合力製成的聖水。啦壺喝後,功力大增,日月兩神趕到時,已不是他的對手。<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHhQ_ziGxt4Wq2hiyyQ45FBdIoJU6JDNJQQfLbZPS6Gq94j6aGUYb49D84xDzLfphf4oF3Yu4Pvj1ODLe0pM3EnajnqNQnSHCUIcYW2mWz3DHKFy2uICqTlSnXUxTRGuBNaLP33NW5JBE/s1600/8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHhQ_ziGxt4Wq2hiyyQ45FBdIoJU6JDNJQQfLbZPS6Gq94j6aGUYb49D84xDzLfphf4oF3Yu4Pvj1ODLe0pM3EnajnqNQnSHCUIcYW2mWz3DHKFy2uICqTlSnXUxTRGuBNaLP33NW5JBE/s320/8.jpg" /></a></div><br />
日月兩神發覺啦壺偷喝了聖水,連忙稟報天帝。天帝大怒,召集諸天神圍攻啦壺。惟是啦壺喝了聖水之後,武功突然增強,眾神亦奈何他不得。後來總護法拍啦啦祭起了無堅不摧的鋸齒金輪,把啦壺橫腰斬斷。<br />
<br />
啦壺喝了聖水,身體雖被斬斷,仍能生存不死,飛返家中。夜叉王得知情由,親自綁起愛子帶到天宮向天帝請罪。天帝看見啦壺的下身已被斬去,仍能不死,又愛他武藝高強,便赦免了他的罪行,還把他封為護法,從此改邪歸正。<br />
<br />
由於啦壺的半截身體被斬去,所以佛像是沒有下身的。他被封為天神之後,嫉惡如仇,尤其是最憎恨小人。所以泰國人要剋制小人,便會配戴啦壺天神的佛像。<br />
<br />
由於啦壺當日闖入天宮時被日月兩神驅趕,害得他被斬斷身體,所以他對日月兩神,仍是懷恨於心,發誓要將天地間所有小人,告密者一一消滅及和吞噬。佛像口咬太陽或月亮,也是這個緣故。泰國人還把日蝕和月蝕,當作是啦壺天神對日月兩神的懲罰。每逢日蝕或月蝕,泰國人認為這是向啦壺天神請求庇佑和許願的最好時機。<br />
<br />
配戴啦壺天神的佛像,不但可以剋制小人,還可以把衰運轉為好運.<br />
<br />

In the Candima Sutta and the Suriya Sutta, Rarhu attacks Canda, the moon deity and Suriya, the sun deity, before being compelled to release them by their recitation of a brief stanza conveying their reverence for the Buddha. The Buddha responds by enjoining Rarhu to release them, which Rarhu does rather than have his "head split into seven pieces". The verses recited by the two celestial deities and the Buddha have since been incorporated into Buddhist liturgy as protective verses (paritta) recited by monks as prayers of protection.</div><br />
<br />
In Buddha Rarhu is one of the krodhadevatas (terror-inspiring gods)<br />
<br />
Rarhu is the ascending lunar node. In Hindu mythology, Rarhu is a snake that swallows the sun or the moon causing eclipses. He is depicted in art as a dragon with no body riding a chariot drawn by eight black horses.<br />
<br />
According to legend, during the Samudra manthan, the asura Rarhu drank some of the divine nectar. But before the nectar could pass his throat, Mohini (the female avatar of Vishnu) cut off his head. The head, however, remained immortal. It is believed that this immortal head occasionally swallows the sun or the moon, causing eclipes. Then, the sun or moon passes through the opening at the neck, ending the eclipse.<br />
<br />
There is another lila of Shiva and Rarhu probably taken from Sivapuranam which is paraphrased by Joseph Campbell in his book. The Power of Myth Ganna Chakra also paraphrases the myth:<br />
<br />
In the myth of the Daitya king Jalandhara, Jalandhara sends Rarhu with a message to Shiva, demanding that he surrender Parvati to Jalandhara. Shiva was angry at this message, and this anger took the form of a terrible creature which sprang from his brow. It had the face of a lion, flaming eyes, body which was dry and rough to the touch, long arms and a tongue which lolled with anger. The creature rushed at Rarhu, ready to devour him. Shiva apparently said something along the lines of "we don't shoot the messenger" whereon the gana pleaded to Shiva that it was tortured by hunger. Shiva told the gana that if it was so hungry, it should eat its own flesh. This the gana did, until only its head was left. Shiva, pleased with such devotion, appointed the gana as his door keeper, ordering that it create terror for all wicked people. Shiva also ordained that the gana be worshipped along with his worship, and gave it the name Kirtimukha. <br />

Unhappy at being overshadowed, Rarhu is constantly striving to dim their brilliance by swalling them; and occasionally he is successful. In Thialand, devotees normally burn black joss sticks and present eight black offerings, including black-feathered chickens and coffee, to appease the dark angel in the run-up to the eclipse. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYpoTwXp-qFOm6kYUt7_8ztnfoV_Z5P-WTargiFLFFSUiCvRda8KJ6adUGWNbWnCwqQDIkpvviKbi_RKCorRStTVauXiIJTXrwU196cKrtBqF8ND_xAdQyfqPa3huYmBLxV5RjI6GLptk/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYpoTwXp-qFOm6kYUt7_8ztnfoV_Z5P-WTargiFLFFSUiCvRda8KJ6adUGWNbWnCwqQDIkpvviKbi_RKCorRStTVauXiIJTXrwU196cKrtBqF8ND_xAdQyfqPa3huYmBLxV5RjI6GLptk/s640/4.jpg" width="638" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The legend of Rarhu (the eclipse): as it appears in the encyclopedia of Vedic history, the Srimad Bhagavata Maha-puranam: Canto VIII Chapters 5-9 (circa 3,000 BC). </div><br />
<br />
First a brief background of this ancient history. Cast of characters: At the beginning of creation, Lord Vishnu, the eternal Supreme Being, entered his own unmanifested material nature (Prakrity); from his navels was born the first being, Brahma (the four-faced), who is the empowered material creator; from Brahma's third eye, in anger, appeared the great Lord Shiva (destroyer of the cosmos), along with the demigods (devas) and the demon (asuras). <br />

Lord Vishnu incarnated himself as Kurma-avatar (center of the Universe); and the celestial serpent, Vasuki, was to be the churning rope. The demigods, being humble by nature, took hold of the tail of Vasuka, while the demons, who are alway proud, took the fiery head; and thus the churning began. </div><br />
<br />
During the churning provess many wonderful things were produced, until finally the "amrita" or immortal nectar appeared. Immediately there was a fierce struggle and the demons forcefully took possession of the nectar. At that time, to help the demigods, Lord Vishnu, expanded himself into Mohini_murti, the most enchanting of all beautiful goddesses. The demons, who were completely love-struck, allowed the Goddess to have the nectar, which she began to distribute among the demigods.<br />

However, when located in a powerful spot in one's horoscope. Rarhu can elevate one to positions of great wealth and power and confer public influence over the masses. Rarhu is associated with serpents, fear, karmic, retribution, and un-virtuous characters.</div><br />
<br />
Person with Rarhu exalted are wealthy and fortunate. But those who have a weak or afflicted Rarhu in their horoscope have a tendency to suffer from fear of supernatural phenomena and suicidal impulses. ULTRA-VIOLET is the cosmic color transmitted by Rarhu through hessonite and other orange gems. Ultra-violet colorwaves are the coldest of all the cosmic rays and should only be used for ailments caused by extreme over heating, i.e., high fever, hyper-acidity, indigestion, hyper-sexualty, insomnia, and during child birth. Rarhu astral talismans may also help divert disasters, prevent insanity, counteract poisons, and protect one from demoniac of lower status, such as servants, employees, and underworld characters.<br />

<br />
Phra Ngang is a vocab for calling a specific statuette of about 3-4 inches high. It refers to the Ayuthayan statuette that has no robe, sitting on a triangle base. Such the statuette was so called for many decades just because the former-generation people misunderstood that it's not represented Lord Buddha. So, they put Phra Ngang in the trouser's pocket. But it is now clear that they are misunderstood by the characteristics of the statuette. Present-day collectors now call the statuette "Phra Chai" which means Buddha image of Victory. <br />
<br />
Phra Ngang is the evolutional form of a decorative Buddha image which depicts the Lord subduing Phya Chompoo(Mara) who was arogant for his great wealth. Once Phya Chompoo met the Lord , he arrogantly paid no respect to him. He thought that no one could compare to him on the wealth. Lord Buddha, a former wealthy prince, used his miraculous power create a mountain of treasures much more than Phya Chompoo' s and transform his body to be the greatest emperor, fully decorated with precious jewels. <br />
<br />
Phya Chompoo was so frightend with the Lord's great power and yielded to him. The Lord taught him that being an emperor did not mean far more better than others because that one still face with sufferings and the death, and that a best human being is one who could destroy all evils in his mind and attain Nipphan(Niravan)-no rebirth again. By the Lord's teaching, Phya Chom poo enlightened the truth and requested for an ordination from the Lord, and the Lord gave him a benevolence.<br />
<br />
We have found many Ayuthaya period's decorative Buddha images. All of them were created based on the mentioned legend with two characteristics, sitting and standing. The specific name of this Buddha image is "Subduing-Phya-Chompoo Buddha Image". The sitting type has far more evolution. The decorative Buddha image has developed to a plain statuette stressing on its structure more than extravagant details.<br />
<br />
Even though, so many people still misunderstands about its characteristics and origin. The naive monks and lay persons commercially produce weird statuettes with red eyes and curved top-stem. They are still called Phra Ngang. All these are imaginary items and not accepted by Thai veteran collectors. And a lot of them are exported!! Do you have one of those items ?? <br />

Naturally, when the lion is roaring, all other creatures are so frightened and scared. Singharaj amulets have popularly been made by Thai guru monks, most of them carved with ivory tusk. A great guru monk who made the most well-known Singharaj amulets is Luang Phor (Thai pronoun called to a revered monk) Doem, the late abbot of Wat Nong Pho Temple. He lived between 1860-1951, his ivory-tusk Singharajs are now at least 70 years old. Physical appearance of the old used ivory-tusk amulets are just like yellow candle, they have greasy luster on the surface.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;"></span><br />

<br />
1.Look at the forms. There are 9 forms of Phra Somdej Wat BangKhunPhrom: The first five forms are the same figures as that of Wat Rakhang. The other 4 forms are: Sen Dai, Than Khu, Sangkhati and Ok Krudh.<br />
<br />
2.Have seen a genuine one before and compare it with other Phra Pim Somdej to spot the differences.<br />
<br />
3.Look at the texture and the substance of Phra Somdej Wat BangKhunPhrom which are the same as that of Wat Rakhang. But the differences are the density of the substance and the holy maters are less than Wat Rakhang. The surface of Somdej Wat BangKhunPhrom always has the deposit of calcium, clay and ironoxide covered on it.<br />

This Somdej was officially excavated in B.E.2500 after a more than one hundred year of attrition that had brought upon on the Jedi.</div>Broken Fragments of those damaged Somdej were used to re-produce another batch of Somdej in B.E.2509. People refer them as Somdej 09. As such, Somdej 09 are said to contain highest composition of Somdej PhraPhutdhacharn(Toh) holy powder. The consecration ceremony involves many Gurus that were still presence at that era. It is considered as one of the major consecrating ceremony in Thailand. <br />
<br />
Small portion of undamaged Somdej were distributed to committee members and the above is one of them, while the rest were put back into the re-renovated Jedi.<br />
<br />
This Somdej Phim Lek is very much smaller compared to those of what we have usually seen in any amulet website, magazine or gazette. Native Thais have further confirmed that Somdej PhraPhutdhacharn(Toh) did blessed and consecrated a small quantity of Somdej Phim Lek. The purpose may be for a tally of 100th standard size Somdej produced or specially make for the lady. We do not have answer for that. <br />
<br />
The back of Somdej shows the obvious trace of the harden soil even though it has been removed.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">Scientific Verification</span></strong><br />
<br />
1) After containing in the Jedi of more than one hundred year, natural attrition leaves some marking for us to trace. Shrinkage trace of shallow concave edge is an identification point for both Wat RaKang and Wat BangKhunPhrom Somdej.<br />

Although after the remove of the deposition of Calcium, Clay and Iron Oxide that used to appear on the surface on the Somdej. The form can still be easily seen.<br />
<br />
2) Look at the Texture – substance of Phra Somdej Wat BangKhunPhrom is very similar to Phra Somdej Wat RaKang, the difference is the density of the substance. Phra Somdej Wat BangKhunPhrom has lesser holy materials. As such, the surface will have lesser protruded holy substances.<br />
<br />
3) The arch of Phra Somdej Wat BangKhunPhrom is much thinner when compared to Phra Somdej Wat RaKang.<br />
<br />
4) The inner strong lime substance. Fake Phra Somdej Wat BangKhunPhrom do not have that.<br />

In BE2509, when Wat Bahng Khun Prom held a major celebration to build a large statue of Buddha and Pra Somdej Puttajahn (Toh Promarangsee), there was also a batch of somdej amulets of mixed powder being chanted. It is called mixed powder somdej because the amulets were mixed with many different types of amulets from old chedi all over thailand; old somdej amulets from Chedi of Wat Bahng Khun Prom, amulets from Chedi of Wat Sahm Pheaum, amulets from Chedi of Wat Kroosalort, Ayutayah, Pra Nang Phayah amulets from Chedi of Pitsanulohk and even first batch of Wat Paknam amulets. <br />
<br />
Mainly, this batch of somdej amulets was chanted for the purpose of replacing the broken old somdej amulets from the old chedi of Wat Bahng Khun Prom. (The old chedi was opened in BE2500 and all the somdej amulets that were placed there by Pra Somdej Puttajahn Toh, a hundred of years ago were removed from the chedi to prevent further damage to the chedi and theft on the old somdej amulets) Half of the newly chanted somdej amulets would be placed inside the repaired chedi and the other half would be distributed to the public. As such, this batch of somdej amulets is also called Pra Somdej 09, meaning somdej amulets chanted in BE2509. <br />

<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">Features </span></strong><br />
One important thing to note about this batch of somdej amulets, is that every pieces of amulets are different and not the same in terms of clarity and sizes, this is because this batch of amulets were hand made. Due to the mixtures of many types of powders, the colour of the amulets also varies from one another, some are more white, so more yellowish and some even can see old somdej powder. In regards, to the temple chop at the back of the amulet, some amulets has a clearer chop, some lighter, some darker and some without chop. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">Effect and Price</span></strong><br />
Pra Somdej Bahng Khun Prom Roon 09 is as good as the old somdej Bahng Khun Prom chanted by Pra PuttaJahn Toh, this is because it contained the old somdej powder. Not only it was chanted by many famous and good monks, it was chanted for a good purpose as well. Good for metta mahaniyom (loving kindness), Kong Grapan (invulnerable against weapons), Klaew Klah (protection) etc. Eventually, the use of this amulet depends on the wearer himself. <br />
<br />
The prices for Somdej Bahng Khun Prom range from a few thousands bahts to a few hundreds of thousands bahts depending on Pims and condition. <br />

He was ordained at the age of 21 at Wat Rakhang. Well known for his efficacous somdej amulets having studied ancient texts and manuscripts, in particular LP Toh’s magic book.</div><br />
Luang Phor Nak was born on August 1st, B.E.2427, to the family of Mr.Pom Marurngsit and Mrs.Suan Marurngsit, locals of Nakonrachsima Province.<br />
<br />
He was ordained a novice when he was a young teenager at Wat Bung, Nakonrachsima Province. In B.E.2448, he was officially ordained a Buddhist monk at Wat Rakhang Kositaram, Bangkok, aged 21.<br />
<br />
Since then Luang Phor Nak has dedicated his life to serve the temple and all Buddhists. <br />
<br />
One important deed that is often associated with Luang Phor Nak whilst at the temple, was that he used to collect all the discarded sacred objects. <br />
<br />
This simple action was to become increasingly more important as the years went by.<br />
<br />
The general Thai belief at that time was any sacred objects that had become damaged, such as shrines, amulets, water bowls etc should not be kept at home, for the fear of bringing bad luck. These objects would often be returned to the temple.<br />
<br />
Luang Phor Nak did not like to see these kinds of scared objects mixed with the general trash, and as such he used to collect and preserve in his monks house. <br />
<br />
<br />
He also did not want to see sacred amulets that had been damaged, destroyed needlessly. He decided to recycle this raw material to create new amulets. It was his belief that every single atom of the old amulets had been infused with sacred power, broken or not. Essentially these materials having already been blessed by some of the greatest living monks were priceless.<br />
<br />
Obviously we know today, that he was right, and are grateful for his foresight. As the disciple of Somdej Phra Buddhacharn Toh, it is no surprise that his newly created amulets followed the procedures exactly as laid down by this great monk.<br />
<br />
Incidentally some people have said that Luang Phor Nak was not a disciple of Phra Buddhacharn Toh, as he was not even born when the great monk had died. This is simply not an accurate assessment. Knowledge is passed from generation to generation and LP Nak studied ancient texts and manuscripts, in particular LP Toh’s magic book, and as such is known as a true disciple. <br />
<br />
Particularly famous and very popular are his amulets created during the period BE 2485- BE2495. Prices have increased sharply in recent years, and will continue to do so. These amulets are not only popular in Thailand, but worldwide, many people having experienced the sacred power and protection that these amulets afford. Many people have made a comparison between these amulets and the original Phra Somdej Bangkhunprom amulets, some of the most sacred in Thai history.<br />
<br />
Such is the popularity; these amulets are fast disappearing from the markets. We would highly recommend that you preserve any examples that you may possess. These amulets can be considered real treasures, which in the future only the wealthy will be able to afford. <br />
<br />
Just a word of caution; As a result of the increased popularity and high demand, many fakes are flooding the market. Be sure to only purchase from recognized dealers.<br />
<br />
On January 15th, B.E.2514, Luang Phor Nak passed away at Sirirach Hospital, Bangkok, aged 87, and having served Buddhism for 66 years.NARESUAN KINGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07984190456077960811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063286450819688404.post-38107941047423376142010-09-15T23:45:00.000-07:002010-09-15T23:45:17.702-07:00佛牌證書 VS 鑑別證書<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP1hKKlV61CwpSE5sXA-Vw4WKiX-ybl65km7zfoP4auLKhsXLqAwpw-n-icZ0CO5j8M6qLtSocNV5u_w79AJap-7sm9KaRtYp0r-cSmY3jqdziEny2Zlwcza6X6Xoq5icM7NveJ-tFQPE/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="516" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP1hKKlV61CwpSE5sXA-Vw4WKiX-ybl65km7zfoP4auLKhsXLqAwpw-n-icZ0CO5j8M6qLtSocNV5u_w79AJap-7sm9KaRtYp0r-cSmY3jqdziEny2Zlwcza6X6Xoq5icM7NveJ-tFQPE/s640/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">佛牌比賽是由泰國佛牌協會舉辦,派出不同賽事專門評判,每次約共100-400位專家作為在不同項目中作鑑別佛牌真偽之把關者,同時品相保存好的牌會在該項目中贏得名次,及後獲得證書,是泰國現今認受性最高且非常多人參與及認識有關佛牌的活動,以下本人介紹另一個較少外國人知道,但相反泰國人也有參與的辨別佛牌真偽途徑,這證書同樣由"沙罵公" 協會發出,為鑑定書由協會內最資深專家擔任主角,負責判定牌的真假,保存度,是否有裂或補過…等等,首先還是要先買入場倦,一牌一倦,大概是500-1000元泰幣,經多人辨別為真牌的話,就會由協會出一張這樣的證書,當然啦,假牌會當場被退,不發證書。</div><br />
