1. Historical Context and Purpose
In BE2515, Luang Phor Phrom created a batch of Phra Somdej amulets featuring a rubber-stamped Yant on the back, which became popularly known as “Lang Trayant” or “Stamped Back” models.
This batch was intended to:
-
Fund the restoration of Wat Chong Khae’s Ubosot (ordination hall)
-
Distribute sacred objects to disciples during a period of high demand
-
Provide powerful spiritual protection and Metta Maha Niyom (loving-kindness) during a time of social and economic transition in Thailand
This was one of the first Somdej-style releases that carried both a traditional front Buddha image and a clearly visible mystical yantra at the back, using a custom rubber stamp, which was quite rare and innovative at the time.
2. Amulet Design and Features
-
Front (Obverse): Traditional Somdej Buddha image seated in Samadhi (meditation) posture on a three-tiered base, framed by an arched niche
-
Back (Reverse): Distinct Trayant (Yantra) applied with rubber ink stamp during consecration. Common forms include:
-
Yant Phutthakhun or
-
Yant Phra Putta Jao 5 Phra Ong
-
-
Size: Small-medium, rectangular, suitable for neck-wear
-
Color: Light cream, beige, grayish-brown (depending on batch mix)
-
Texture: Soft-grain, compact sacred powder; often seen with natural aging, small cracks, or sacred powder bloom
3. Sacred Material Composition (Phong Wahn)
Luang Phor Phrom meticulously prepared the material from various auspicious sources:
-
Phong Patamang and Itthijay: Sacred powders from Buddhist scripture chanting
-
Ash from candle wax, incense, and ceremonial robes
-
Pollen from sacred flowers used in temple rituals
-
Old crushed amulet fragments from ancient temples (e.g., Wat Bang Khen, Wat Rakang)
The materials were left to ferment and spiritually infuse over time before being hand-pressed into molds.
4. Consecration Ceremony (Phuttha Phisek)
The Phra Somdej Lang Trayant batch underwent a full consecration process personally overseen by Luang Phor Phrom, who was known for his intense meditation and mastery in spiritual blessings:
-
Held at Wat Chong Khae’s Ubosot
-
Ritual included:
-
7-day and 7-night candlelight chanting (จุดเทียนชัย)
-
Continuous Pali mantra recitation during molding and stamping
-
Personal blessing from Luang Phor Phrom, including handwritten Yant on some back surfaces
-
Final blessing was held during Makha Bucha or Visakha Bucha, attracting hundreds of devotees
