Phra Phong Bodh Gaya BE2519

Wat Thung Seri, India – Consecrated by Luang Pu Toh of Wat Pradoochimplee

---

Background & Origin

In the auspicious Buddhist year 2519 (1976), an exceptional batch of sacred amulets was created under the initiative of Thai and Indian Buddhist communities to commemorate and propagate Buddhism at Wat Thung Seri, located near the Bodh Gaya pilgrimage site in India, the place of Lord Buddha’s Enlightenment.

This unique project symbolized a strong spiritual bridge between Thailand and India, and was one of the very few Thai-led Buddhist amulet consecration ceremonies held directly on Indian soil.

Sacred Materials (Nuea Phong)

The amulets were crafted from a carefully selected mix of sacred powders (Phong), including:

• Phong Ittijay and Phong Patamang (chanting powders)

• Phong Wahn Maha Mongkol (auspicious herbal powder)

• Phong Din Phra That (sacred earth from important Buddhist sites)

• Sacred Bodhi leaf ashes from Bodhgaya

• Phong Puttakun collected from various senior monks’ temples in Thailand

The powder mixture was pressed into various Buddha images and sacred yant forms, including:

• Phra Somdej-style

• Phra Phong Suphan-style

• Phra Nang Phaya-style

These were molded and pressed by hand and machine into small batches.

Blessing Ceremony (Phuttha Phisek)

The highlight of this creation was the blessing ceremony, held in India under the Bodhi Tree at Wat Thung Seri. The event drew support from both Thai Sangha members and Indian Buddhist representatives.

The presiding monk and primary consecrator was Luang Pu Toh (Phra Rajsangwaraphorn) of Wat Pradoochimplee, one of Thailand’s most revered monks known for his deep meditation practice and sacred incantations.

• Luang Pu Toh traveled to India specifically for this event.

• The ceremony occurred during the Buddhist pilgrimage season, attracting great devotion.

• Monks from other temples, including Thai monks serving at Indian Buddhist sites, also participated.

The chanting and energy transfer rituals lasted several days, with final empowerment done on a full moon night — traditionally believed to hold immense spiritual potency.

Symbolism and Merit

The amulet carries multiple layers of sacred symbolism:

• Bodh Gaya sacredness – Symbol of Enlightenment and direct connection to the historical Buddha.

• Cross-border spiritual collaboration – Thailand-India Buddhist unity.

• Luang Pu Toh’s spiritual power – Renowned for metta (loving-kindness), protection, and good fortune.

Many believe the amulet holds properties such as:

• Protection from danger

• Enhancement of metta mahaniyom (loving-kindness and popularity)

• Aid in meditation and spiritual insight

Rarity and Collectibility

Due to its limited run and rare cross-country consecration, the Phra Phong Bodh Gaya BE2519 has become highly sought after by both collectors and spiritual devotees, especially those who revere:

• Luang Pu Toh (one of the most legendary monks of the Rattanakosin era)

• Sacred Indian soil and pilgrimage sites

• International Buddhist collaboration artifacts

Some amulets from this batch come with red temple stamps or yant inscriptions on the back, further authenticating their sacred origin.
