The Power of Takrut 刀枪不入超级TANGKAI

什么是Tarkut ?

Tarkut/Takrud（"打固"）是一种"符卷"(符管/符筒), 制作Tarkut的师傅多会亲自在素材上写上经文，咒语，图腾．常见用来制做Tarkut的素材像：金，银，锡（Takua），虎皮，棕榈叶，木材，象牙，骨头或其他少见的素材物质．在马来西亚这种"符卷"也称做"当盖"（马来语为"TangKai")．Tarkut一般都用来増进人缘(metta) 或不能伤害 (KongKraPan)2个功用.


当制做Tarkut师傅在素材上写完经文后,都会经过一些特别的颂经加持的仪式而Tarkut才能算真正制作完成.


一般金属类或虎皮Tarkut都会卷成管状形，挂在脖子，绑在腰间，或放在口袋里．由于Takrud容易携带且容易收藏所，所以是军人，警察和收藏家的最爱．好的Takrut确实是非常罕见的，甚至会比佛牌更难寻获．


Tarkut名师




说到Tarkut名师要属 Wat MaKhamThao 的Luang Phor Sook หลวงปู่ ศุข (Sook MaKhamThao) 了. 由于师傅的Tarkut年代久远..现在已经非常罕见了．其他著名的Tarkut名师有 Archan Nong (Wat SaiKow), Luang Phor Cham Long (Wat Chedi Deng), Luang Phor Kalong　(Wat KaoLaem), Luang Phor Tad, (Wat Chai Na), Luang Phor Thong 龙婆通　(Wat ShamPoChey), Luang Phor Koon 龙婆坤　(Wat Bahn Rai/Wat Ban Rai) and Lung Phor Pern　龙婆本 (Wat Bang Pra).

Wat Chedi Daeng





The highlight of old masters will bring us to Wat Chedi Daeng hidden in a small village in Ayutthaya. LP Chamlong is famous for his Takrut's supremacy for "kongkrapan" invulnerability and "metta mahaniyom" for loving affection. LP Chamlong is famous for his trademark in demonstrating the effectiveness of his "kongkrapan chatri" takrut by scratching a knife at the body of the wearer after handling over his takrut to the devotee.


In earlier days LP Chamlong frequently accept local visitors and people seeking his miraculous takruts. At present LP Chamlong is physically weaker due to stroke he suffered and his old age. However, LP Chamlong never lack the prowness when performing holy water blessing to all devotees whether young or old. The holy water splashing is still very strong despite LP Chamlong's age and one will feel as though been pushed by a mysterious force when the water touches a person.



The 2 types of takrut is easily distinguised by the color; black wrapped with gold foil (for invulnerability) and red wrapped with gold foil (for loving affection).

LP Chamlong also created hand made Phra Khun Paen. This limited Khun Paen amulet is 30 years old (B.E.2523) according to LP Chamlong and contained Plaai Guman powder. The design of this Phra Khun Paen amulet is represented by an image of Kumanthong sleeping at the bottom. Therefore, this image is most appropriate for weaering when having a negotiation or engaging in business joint-venture. In general, wearing Khun Paen image will bring unexpected good results due to the spiritual assistance from Kumanthong as depicted in the amulet. This is especially so if the image contains Plaai Guman activated power.

In addition, Khun Paen has the enromous ability to provide blessings to usher wealth, decipher danger, and improving affinity with people to all who wear his image. Indeed this very rare and potent Phra Khun Paen amulet made by LP Chamlong is hard to come across.

Not many people know that LP Chamlong also make Khun Paen amulets apart from his Takrut supremacy. The Phra Khun Paen amulet featured here is the last piece from Wat Chedi Daeng. At present, there are not many masters in Thailand who can make effective Plaai Guman powder.

LP Chamlong's Phra Khun Paen is rarely seen by the public. We're very fortunate that this very rare piece was given the permission in this website by its owner whom is also NARESUAN THAI AMULET.BLOGSPOT.COM community member.

In the early 90's throng of visitors visit Wat Chedi Daeng on daily basis to obtain the takrut and blessing from LP Chamlong. In those days LP Chamlong would personally give the black color takrut to devotees.

Most devotees would request LP Chamlong to test the "Kongkrapan Chatri" on their body. The devotee will hold the takrut on his palm after receiving it and place complete trust to the protective power of the takrut. The testing procedure will begin with LP Chamlong reciting mantra and sprinkling "Nam Mon" or chanted holy water onto the back of the devotee. Once done, LP Chamlong would hold a very sharp knife which is more like a 12 inch length Meed Moh to tear the flesh of the devotee with all his energy.

Tearing of the flesh with a knife by LP Chamlong may be brutal to witness on the scene. The above picture is a happy devotee whom had tested the sacred power of LP Chamlong's takrut without feeling any pain or whatsoever. The skin surface abrasion will normally heal in 1 or 2 days without any visible marks. Today LP Chamlong do not perform this test ritual anymore due to his old age.

Prathat Nadoon - Maha Sarakam


Prathat Nadoon

Situated 470 kilometers from Bangkok, Maha Sarakham is a small province in the North East part of Thailand. Being the educational hub of the region, this place is also known as "Taksila of Isan". Maha Sarakham is famous for its historical sites。

Maha Srakam is one of the most important sites of ancient property in the Thai Kingdom, apart from several ancient Khmer style chedi, there have been numerous discoveries of ancient amulets and antiques.

It was at Nadoon, a district of the province, that some of the most beautiful amulets were unearthed in an ancient kru, such as the 1,000 year old pims from a cell named “Kru Pra Boromthat Nadoon”.

It was recorded that more than 40 different Pims were discovered including Pim Lila, Pim, Pim Prok Koo, Pim Prok Koo Tuddiaw, Pim Pratanporn, Pim Patiharn, Pim Si lium, Pim Vow Chula, Pim Si Mum Merng, Pim Sam Liuam, Pim Mokala, Pim Salibutr, etc. The Buddha amulets from Maha Sarakham's Nadoon Stupa were excavated in 1979 and are believed to have been made by royal craftsmen 1,000 to 1,300 years ago.

The land on which the ancient Kru was found is owned by Mr. Tongdi Pavaputa, a local of Nadoon District, who said that his family had lived there for generations.

He revealed that the Kru lay undisturrbed for more than a thousand years , no one noticing it until the day that he had by chance dug into the ground at the base of a low rise hill. He located the chedi which was later named Phrathat Nadoon.”.

Pra Boromthat Nadoon, or Prathat Nadoon, is situated on a base approximately 1 metre higher than the surrounding ground.

It is located near Merng Boran, an ancient town of the province where other ancient Khmer-style buildings such as Ku Santarat, Sala Nangkhao and Ku Noi can be found.

Note: Ku and Kru are not the same, Ku referes to an ancient Khmer-style chedi or castle but Kru means cell or cells where sacred amulets were retained.
It is assumed that Prathat Nadoon is part of the old town as it is located about 500 metres away from Ku Santarat, where several other sacred artifacts were previously discovered.

It is also recorded that on June 8th, B.E.2522, sacred relics of Lord Buddha were discovered in this area.

The relics, similar in appearance to broken white rice, were kept in a stupa, which also filled inside with a kind of Thai fragrant oil called Nam Man Jun. When the stupa was first opened, there was a fragrant aroma that filled the air even after 1,000 years.

The majority of the 40 recorded pims were designed in classical Davaravadi art, often featuring Lord Buddha sitting under Bhoti tree.

Most of Davaravadi-period artisans usually designed Buddhist Images which told the history of Lord Buddha and many of their designs have become prototypes of later day amulets.

It is believed that at least some of amulets found at Kru Pra Boromtart Nadoon were created by Indians, not Thais, who provbably entered the northeastern part of Thai Kingdom through the Chee and Moon rivers during period B.E.1200-B.E.1500.

Maha Srakam is one of the most important sites of ancient property in the Thai Kingdom, apart from several ancient Khmer style chedi, there have been numerous discoveries of ancient amulets and antiques.

This pim is known as Pim Pang Prathanporn , and is one of the most characteristic and impressive amulets you are ever likely to see anywhere, measurung some 17 x 8.0 cm. Not only that it is very rare.

The land on which the ancient Kru was found is owned by Mr. Tongdi Pavaputa, a local of Nadoon District, who said that his family had lived there for generations.

He revealed that the Kru lay undisturrbed for more than a thousand years . no one noticing it until the day that he had by chance dug into the ground at the base of a low rise hill. He located the chedi which was later named Phrathat Nadoon.”.

Ms Somsuda Ratanin of Otago University of New Zealand analysed these amulets and found that they are predominately made of sand, rice, stones and sticky rice, and other unidentified components.

After 1,300 years the majority of these amulets are almost stone like in appearance. However the Nak Prok amulet possesses the appearance of molten glass, exhibiting a rainbow of colours.

Prakring Klongtakian amulets of Wat Pradoosongdharma, Ayudhaya Province

Wat Pradoo Songdharma, Ayudhaya Province, was constructed about 380 years ago during Ayudhaya Kingdom.

After an invasion by Burmese soldiers the temple was wrecked and remained deserted until the the period of the Rhatanakosin Dynasty, when a sacred monk named Luang Por Rodsur had traveled to the area and found the temple in ruins and without attention of amy monks. As a result he made the decision to renovate the temple himself, and today remains prosperous.

It was said that the monk had the power to control fierce animals such as the tiger through his sacred sciences. He is also known to have created many sacred amulets.

Phra Kring Klongtakian amulets are without doubt the most famous and have been noted to protect worshippers from danger and weapons.

Phra Kring Klongtakian amulets were made of clay mixed with ashes of Bai Larn (leafs of ancient Dharma Books). The revserse etched with a sacred yant.

NEWLY DISCOVERED PHRA NANGPHYA AMULETS

On March 29th, B.E.2553, a secret cell (Kru) was discovered at Wat Bortongkum, Hua Ror Sub-district, Merng District, Pitsanuloke Province.

Many sacred objects and amulets were discovered but in particular Pra Nangphaya amulets, the most famous amulet of the province. These newly discovered pims exhibit all the characteristics of the original Phra Nangphya amulets found at Wat Nangphaya in the same province.

Phra Atikarn Tawi Atagaro, the temple’s abbot, said that the temple was built during the Ayudhaya Kingdom but had been deserted for several hundred years when in B.E.2543 it was renovated and officially declared a legal temple..

Prior to the renovation it was reported that thieves had on may occasions stolen precious artefacts including gold, Buddha Images and ancient pots. Fortunately they had not discovered the location of the secret Kru.
The abbot said that the Kru was more than two metres below ground and located beneath the temples Viharn.,

Mr.Yongyos Mek-arun, Vice Governor of Pitsanuloke Province, had suggested the abbot not make known his discovery in fear that the temple would be subject to further robbery.

He also suggested that the temple should set up an information centre to educate the public about the find and that some of the amulets should be released for sale to support both charitable work and further repairs.

It was also reported that Mr Surin Thitipunya, President of Pitsanuloke Province’s Local Administration had visited the temple to inspect the amulets, and purchased a number for himself.

There has been a massive demand for these pims, with many experts and dealers descending on the temple to purchase these valuable pims. A good example was Mrs Tasani Tongparn, a resident of Chonburi Province, who once hearing the news immediately rushed to purchase a number of pims totaling 30,000 baht.

She said that apart from buying the amulets she also supported the temple’s renovation projects.
Today you would be lucky to obtain one of these pims as Mr. Naris Piyapruk, Vice Governor of Pitsanuloke Province requested that the Abbot remove all the ancient jars and pots containing the amulets and donate them to the public at large via the the Historical Centre of Juntra Palace, Pitsanuloke Province.

We are lucky to have obtained a few of these pims, which of course are many hundreds of years old having been created during the Ayudhya period.

The Nanphya amulet is accepted as one of the ‘Grand Five’ set (Bejapakee) The original Nangphya amulets originate from Wat Nangphya, situated next to Wat Ratchaburana, Phitsanulok.
Wat Ratchburana was built by King Maha Thammaracha of Sri Ayudhya during his rule of the province, while Wat Nangphaya was built by his wife Wisut Kasattri around BE 2095-2100.

Both temples were originally on the same piece of land, but a later road separated them. The Chedi was destroyed and cleaned, and these triangular shaped Buddha images were discovered in BE 2442-2444. These amulets were made from earth, mixed with flower petals along with gravel and sand.

The amulets were classified into 6 different pims. It is believed that these amulets are good for Charm, protection and wealth.

This Nanphya amulet discovered at Wat Wat Bortongkum is easily as good as the original pims but very much less expensive. A real treasure and a great way to start making up a genuine Benjapakee collection.

This is probably your one and only chance to own one of these amulets.

Somdej Puttajarn ( Toh Promrangsri )"Legend of Somdej Toh"

"History of Somdej Toh" , "PhraSomdej amulets"

Somdej Puttajarn named was "Toh" with no last name ( In the past thailand don't use surname ). He was born in N.BarnGaijun T.Tarluang A.Tarruer Phra Nakhonsreayuttaya Province at 17 April B.E.2331 Thursday. In an era of King Rama 1st. He passed away at Saturday 22 June B.E.2415 which he was 85 years old. In B.E.2343 at the age of twelve, he entered the monk hood ( "Buath" ordain in thai word ) by Phra Bawornviriyatera an abbot of Wat Banglunpoon ( to enter the monk hood, alway require senior monk to do the ceremony for you ) for novice monk as below an age of 21 at Wat Intraviharn. And then in B.E.2370 again at Wat PhraSrirattanasardsadararm to be Narkluang ( the high class of monk which "buath" by Pope of thai monk etc." Archan Toh was ordained by Somdej Phra Sunkarath Sook ( "Sook" is his short name and also Archan Toh teacher, many story and his legend have been told ) at Wat Mahatath.

In B.E.2407 at age of 77 again by the king, he was given name/class higher to "Somdej Puttajarn" the 5th of Rattanagosin era. ( Somdej eg. Lord, Sir, Highness etc.) *Somdej Phra Sunkarath Sook is Somdej Toh's principle, one of thailand guru monk and the leader of thailand monk council.

The great King Rama 5th on his young day and Somdej Toh.

"Like to build Hugh things"

Like his name, "Toh" mean Big, Hugh in thai. Somdej Toh have builded many remembrance such as 1) "Phra Puttasaiyarth at Wat Sadue Ayuttaya Province" The biggest sleeping statue of Buddha in Thailand , builded by white lime. To remember that he was born here in Ayuttaya province. 2) "Buddha Statue doing meditate" at Wat Chaiyo in the time of King Rama 4th. Said to remember he was a teacher of dharma there. 3) "Standing Buddha statue" at Wat Intraviharn Bangkhunphom, the highest standing buddha statue in the world. Build in the time of King Rama 4th around B.E.2410 but still not finish, Somdej Toh have passed away in B.E.2415. As remembrance Somdej Toh grow up here. 4) 2 of Sleep Jaydee(pagodas) statue at Wat Lakorntum T.Barnchanglor Tonburee, which base facing each other.

"Best Dharma lecture"

In the past, Many old monk have to visit the King Palace for lecture, pray, have food. As our King is the centre. Jao Phrakhun Somdej Puttajarn ( Toh ) is the best of dharma lecture since King Rama 1st which given him class of "Nark Luang" at Wat Phra Kaw. In King Rama 2nd give him the ship called "Grapgunlaya Lungkagrasang" which is the special ship for the royal family for Somdej Toh personal use. ( This is very special, as legend didn't have such of this thing given to a monk by the King ). At time of King Rama 4th, our King pleased with the Lecture from Somdej Toh very much. Our King said "If didn't see KruaToh, feel a bit lonely. Once talk with KruaToh, i feel happy". Somdej Toh is a great lecture since he was a novice monk until B.E.2413 that time he was very old and cannot have food, pray, and lecture in King Palace. He gived his duty to Momjao PhraPuttabaht Pilun, then Somdej Toh left all things behind, made amulets batchs , ask painter to write his story to the wall of Wat Bangkhunphom ( Wat Intraviharn ) etc. Still many story and miracle of Somdej Toh purify strong haunted spirit such as NangNark of Phrakanhong area in bangkok, thus i made this for short paragraph as i point this page for Phra Somdej amulets, the greatest holy items he left behind.

PhraSomdej Kaizer created in B.E.2413 by Somdej Toh Wat Rakhang, give to the great King Rama 5th for his first time visit Europe. During his meeting with King Kaizer William the 2nd in germany. King Kaizer see the light shining out from King Rama 5th's pocket. Then King Kaizer asked what does our King have in his pocket, King Rama 5th take out the amulet and tell him that this is thailand amulet which thai people faitefully belive, keep close as holy item for protection. And a remembrance of the power of Buddha, to bring good mind and happiness.

King Kaizer William really like this holy item from Thailand, our King then give PhraSomdej to him as a gift. King Kaizer received and then pray like thai people before put the amulet in his pocket. The same thing happened with the shinning light. All the followers are wonders, the story have told of this famous amulet create by Somdej Toh. People called them PhraSomdej Pim Kaizer since then.

"PIM KAIZER" which Somdej Puttajarn Toh create the single mold by his own hand.

"Phra Somdej"

Somdej Puttajarn ( Toh ) started which years? no one know. No one can find the evidence. But the reason have been said in 2 way that Somdej Toh made amulets bless/chant then give to the people, no limit for amount, no batchs. Another way said that Somdej Toh plan to made 84,000 of Phra Somdej amulets to keep save in jaydee(the pit under the pagoda) for the further expantion of religion afther his death as the elder did. In present day we all reckon that Somdej Toh made Phra Somdej from Wat Rakhang not up to the limit as he said 84,000 amulets for sure! For reason that once Somdej Toh talked to his cousin ... "I think i wouldn't make up to 84,000" that why the firstly batch made and keep save in the jaydee at Wat Katechaiyo, later batch were give among people. And some are left at Wat Rakhang and was rented all at his death funeral, very sure in B.E.2415 as my granpa was there.

An Image of Phra Somdej Wat Bangkhunphom

Wat Maiaumarod Bangkhunphom. Thus, People give a short name called "Phra Somdej Bangkhunphom". Make by an officer "Duang" the head of the household from Wat Bangkhunphom area. Officer Duang invite Somdej Toh to bless/chant this amulets and keep safe at Wat Bangkhunphom's jaydee. This make amount of Phra Somdej up to limit 84,000 with no problems. ( Let go back a bit as when and where Phra Somdej amulets were made ) This information have been told from an old abbot of Wat Rakhang ( Phra Tumathaworn Chuang ) he was Somdej Toh close student. Said when Somdej Toh enter the monk hood at B.E.2407, 2 years after Somdej To started to make amulets for first time. ( Thank this information from Lek Aunhanun B.E.2457 our old man ). If this truth from an evidence, Somdej Toh started create Phra Somdej amulets at B.E.2409 very first batch. Like a test, a mold which made amulets could be made from wood or rock from villager of changlor.

Phra Somdej Katechaiyo

See the surface? that's the very first batch said like a test of mix ingredients. Later on ( Don't know what B.E. ) Luang Vijarn Jearanai ( Gold smith of King Palace ) have visited Somdej Toh and see the mold which create amulets. He do not satisfy with it's art, and said that he will create a new mold for Somdej Toh's amulets. Now! This is start of all great Phra Somdej WatRakhang amulets, an old time people called "Pim Luang VijarnJearanai". But in present day, we called Wat Rakhang which have 5 Pim ( Type ). Also Luang Vijarn Jearanai give an advice to Somdej Toh about ingredient to mix with "Tunkew Oil" which fix the problem of the shatter surface.

Why called Phra Somdej ?

"Somdej Phra Puttajarn" was named by King Rama 4th in B.E.2407, As when Somdej Toh was 77 years old. Two years later Somdej Toh create first batch of amulets also bless and chant. With his named "Somdej", people around temple called this amulets pim "Phra Somdej" which mean "Phra Krueng"(amulets) which made bless and chant by Somdej Toh. Same with Phra Somdej BangkhunPhrom, Phra Somdej WatKatechaiyo that all thai people admid at present in Thailand amulets market.

Phra Somdej ingredient create from? How many?

Materials for making the somdejs comprise : 1) Shell lime from sea then burn, if use white lime from burn rock the skin will look dry, 2) Phong Vises (holy powder, ittijay, eaynisinghay) write to yans spell letter then rub it off become chanted holy ash, 3) assorted flowers from shine, 4) rice remains after his consumption, 5) lotus, 6) banana rip only the black skin to mix for amulets skin to stick, 7) ashes from incense urns, 8) Holy water to mix skin not to soft or hard, 9) honey, 10) tang oil which made surface skin to look much perfect, dry rice, chanted sand, gold ash etc. Black skin or Red skin Phra Somdej are rare which hard to find among amulets market in present as Somdej Toh didn't make in 84,000 amount, the famous standard in market is Phra Phong Ittijay which make from holy white ashes. Phra Somdej skin which mixed with Phong Vises(white powder) can be said that they are standard for Phra Somdej amulets from 3 temples(Wat Rakhang, Wat Katechaiyo, Wat Bangkhunphrom). See the below link for more details of quality PhraSomdej amulets.

Ingredient in Phra Somdej WatRakhang

Lhong Ruk - Pid Thong

Some of Phra Somdej amulets nowaday that we can see, they've been Lhong Ruk(black) - Pid Thong(gold). Some have been washed and some stay the same since create. In my opinion, i understand that Pid Thong to put gold skin is for mongkon(bless/auspicious) by buddha, same at when we visit any temple and we Pid Thong at Lord Buddha's statue for good karma and tradition. Amulets which have been Lhong Ruk - Pid Thong will keep amulets surface skin protect. Once wash away Ruk-Thong, the amulets skin will "Tak Lai Ngar" or "Lai Sunkalok"(2 types of shattered skin) no acception. Reason because at the front side of amulets not balance with image and frame make low/high line. When "Ruk" is dry, they will tight the surface skin which make them break/shatter. Note : only the front side only, For "Lai Sunkalok" can be for acception for 2-3 lines at most. *The amulet show above is Pim Sendai, the backside is incredibly beautiful with the Pu-Tai crab's foot prints show all over the amulet.

Somdej Somdej Prathat Phanom 2401

Somdej Toh was one of the most famous Buddhist monks in modern Thai history. His amulets fetch prices anywhere from a few million Baht to 30 Million Baht. You may believe that his amulets are well beyond the pocket of the average collector, this is a popular misconception even amongst experienced collectors. He created and blessed Phra Somdej amulets other than the much publicized and promoted Somdej amulets originally blessed c. BE 2400 One perfect example is the amulet below known as Phra Somdej Wat Rakhang, Phra That Phanom (Song Chedi), which he created and blessed in c. 2508. Most of the amulets were then stored in the chedi at Nakom Panom, close to the Laos border It wasn't until BE 2518 that these amulets were finally recovered after a violent storm and subsequent flooding damaged the chedi walls.

First impression of this amulet is to dismiss it too easily, unless you understand the history behind it. The most interesting aspect of this amulet is of course the colourful beads, and one of the reasons actually that even experienced collectors have often failed to recognise the importance of this pim. The secret of Phra That Phanom Somdej amulets Phrathat Phanom is an important chedi not only in Thailand but also Asia because the relics of Lord Buddha are situated inside. The wishes of many worshippers have been fulfilled after giving homage at the chedi. As such any amulets contained within the Kru would be very scared indeed, and in particular amulets created by one of the most sacred monks in the world’s history, Phra Buddhacharn Toh. This account details such a discovery of thousands of amulets originally created in BE 2408. Phra Buddacharn Toh is now known not only to have deposited a hoard of amulets in the Chedi but also to have renovated the scared chedi in BE 2408 , in order to preserve the ancient structure for future generations. The most interesting aspect of this is that very few people were aware of the deposit of amulets, certainly even fewer were witness to the amulets because they were buried very deeply in what was then one the most important chedis in the Kingdom. Severe flooding caused the chedi walls to collapse, and on August 11 , B.E. 2518 , at 07.38 p.m. the chedi was opened in order to expose the cell that retained the hoard of amulets. These amulets were highly respected by worshippers because of the realization of the sacred power that would be able to help them in many ways. A great crowd gathered to worship the hoard in its entirety. Once all this information is known, your whole perspective changes in an instance. Simply holding this unique amulet is an experience in itself, you become inspired by the knowledge that you are holding a genuine amulet created by one of the greatest Thai monks ever, a treasure that has no price with a beauty that is without doubt, breathtaking.

The Royal Thai Fine Arts Department came to inspect and repair the chedi and also to inform Phra Thep Ruttanamoli (later Phra Dharma Rachanuwat), the then abbot of the temple , also head Monk of Nakon Panom Province, about the sacred amulets, and that they could be sold. However no price could be agreed as he knew the value of the amulets. Therefore Prathep Ruttanamoli decided to donate the sacred amulets to everyone who wished to own such a asacred object, but in particular to those who supported the renovation project of the sacred chedi, In addition to the amulets there were also many other sacred objects which were retained for prosperity both inside the chedi itself and the temples museum. Today these amulets are very hard to find, some are priced more than 1 ,000 ,000 each, particularly those which have not be cleaned in any way. H istory - Sacred Materials After Somdej Phra Buddhacharn Toh announced his intention to create the amulets many senior foreign monks from Cambodia, Laos, Burma, etc, immediately came to the kingdom to pay respects to Phra Buddacharn Toh, and also to donate sacred materials. 1. Gold, which was received from Khmer and Burmese senior monks, ground into powder. Many of the pims you can actually see gold fragments embedded in the powder. 2. Ancient Tavaravati-period pills, received from senior monks originating from Laos, some were ground into a powder others added to the mixture, whole, giving the amulets their very distinctive appearance. 3. Jewelry, which was received from Khmer and Burmese senior monks, also ground into powder. 4. Sacred relics of Lord Buddha, received from some disciples of Somdej Phra Buddhacharn Toh and Lao monks. 5. Wrecked parts of the old Prathat Phanom, renovated in B.E.2408 , also ground into powder. 6. Other kinds of sacred powder such as Ittijae, Maharach, Buddhakun, kept by Somdej Phra Buddhacharn Toh for many years were also added into the mixture. Fragments of Phra Benjapakee etc Because King Rama IV wanted the renovation project to be completed within that year (B.E.2408) many monks from both Wat Rakhang and Wat Phratat Phanom were involved in making these sacred amulets.

Interestingly this resulted in the amulets created that were different in design and composition depending on where they were made. Anyway the amulets, created at Wat Rakhang, were easily identified because Jaoprakun Dharmatanacharn (Jaokun Nap), a high-ranking monk of Bangkok, also attached a gold plate onto the reverse of each amulet. Great Sacred Ceremony After the creation of all the amulets one of the greatest sacred ceremonies in the Thai history was organized: 1. To celebrate the newly renovated sacred Phratat Panom Chedi. 2. To invite all the sacred amulets into the chedi itself. It was recorded that the sacred ceremony was held on the full-moon day of the 12 th month of the year B.E.2408 , according to the Thai lunar calendar. Apart from many senior monks from both Thailand and other neighboring countries, one of the most participants of the ceremony was King Rama IV, who had graciously presided over the ceremony amongst many witnesses, including royal-family members and high-ranking officials etc. It was also recorded that Somdej Phra Buddhacharn Toh had affirmed that all the amulets were very sacred because apart from the many sacred materials, particularly the relics of Lord Buddha and the wrecked powder of the old Prathat Panom Chedi, he had also prayed and recited sacred spells to transfer the power of Lord Buddha ensuring efficacy. These amulets are still quite affordable, but the prices are increasing rapidly due to the fact that other pims created by Buddacharn Toh (those which have been heavily marketed and promoted over the last few decades) have all but disappeared from the market, or are only available to the extremely wealthy. This amulet is the sensible choice for the discerning collector, and will bring luck and prosperity in life and business.
