Luang Phor Thuad Wat Prasat Bunyavas, Bangkok. The amulet and altar amulets of Luang Phor Thuad of Wat Prasat are very popular among people , but the nomination of their batches , types and years is rather confused. Someone divides them from the moulds or from their substances but for me , i have to decide from specification which i am going to present to you following. This story was told by Phra Kru Prasatanomagun ( Wichian Vajiro ) , the present abbot of Wat Prasat, who had concerned with the creation of these batches from the begining. "At first, Wat Prasat was named Wat Khwid. Luang Phor Thuad as legend says used to make pilgrimage here. In the year 2498 B.E this Wat was on fire, everything was almost burnt up exepted a manse. All the monk and novices of the Wat were afflicted from lack of the place to perfom the Buddhist ceremony. Luang Phor Thuad came to tell Archan Tim in the dream requesting him to renovate Wat Khwid. Archan Tim looked for Wat Khwid for a long time and knew the place from the man who used to make the amulets of the iron's backside shape mould of H.R.H Prince Chaloempol Dikhamphorn. Archan Tim then joined with him and Phra Kru Smuh Amphol to have created Phra Luang Phu Thuad amulets at Wat Prasat Bunyavas. The amulets were made in 2505 B.E and they were conscreated in 2506 B.E by , more than 200 chief monks of highest reverence , such as - Luang Phor Chong of Wat Na Tang Nok -Luang Phor San of Wat Serng Sang. -Luang Phor Thian of Wat Kasattra Thiraj -Luang Phor Toh of Wat Pradoocimplee Apart from the creation in that year, there were many others amulets built afterwards, but using the original mould. So we could not divide them by decision from the mould. But the group which had gray substance were likely made in the first period. ( for mixing a lof of buddhist powder of somdej bangkhunprom and phong buddhaguna or other consecrated powders.) The abbot add that Luang Phor Thuad of Wat Prasat with white substances in the first time were not mixed with medicinal herbs and soil. for they were easy to make by hand moulded. The white substance were all mixed with the pure phong somdej powder. for the gray substance , they were mixed with a lot of phong somdej, so the substance becoem gray. The last amulets were made in the year 2508 B.E There are 2 types , white substances and pink substance, but the white substance in the later period were different from the white substance at the other time before this, that is to say they were rough and weren't dry like the earlier white substance which were mixed with pure Phong Somdej Powders. The first of the amulets with white substance exited only large mould but he white substance later were have many different moulds. Luang Phor Thuad of Wat Prasat possess the best compound substances and express with the Buddhist consecrated virtues. So it is advised to be a must to grab this amulet. It is rare expensive in current market and many duplicated aroud market. In the year B.E.2506, Wat Prasat was almost totally destroyed by a fire which broke out in the temple. After the massive damage was done, a mass chanting ceremony was organised to help raise funds for the rebuilding of the temple. Many types of amulets were consecrated and they were chanted twice in B.E.2506. The chanting was first held continuously for 3 days and 3 nights from the 6th to 9th of March B.E.2506. The second time was held for 4 days and 4 nights from the 13th to 15th of November B.E.2506. Some of the basic components in the amulet consist of: - Broken fragments of Somdej Wat Bangkhunphrom - Soil from 4 holy places of the Buddha's time - Mineral ore - Phong Itije (Prosperity), Phong Maharaj, Phong Puttamang - Nur Din (Soil) - See Pheung (Lip Wax) - Wahn Jampasak (Power, Authority, Prestige) - Raw Leklai (metal charm believed to melt at candle temperature) - Holy metal plates that were used to write Yantras Mass chanted by many top monks of that era. Hundreds of monks attended the blessing ceremony including some of the most famous monks ever known in Thai history. |
