Material: Nur Din (Sacred Clay)

Back Design: Lang Yant (Stamped sacred yantra at the back)

Chinese Name: 富贵佛 (Fugui Fo) — “Wealth & Honor Buddha”

1. Purpose of Creation

This amulet was created by Luang Phor Muan with the intention to:

  • Spread blessings of wealth, prestige, and good fortune to his disciples

  • Raise funds for the restoration of Wat Sai and support temple activities

  • Promote faith in the Dhamma and spiritual development in both Thai and Chinese Buddhist communities in Nakhon Pathom and Bangkok

2. Design and Features

  • Obverse (Front): Classic Somdej sitting Buddha posture in Samadhi, symbolizing mental calm and spiritual strength

  • Reverse (Back): Features a stamped Yant (sacred geometric script) believed to empower the amulet with Metta Mahaniyom (charm and kindness) and Klaew Klaad (safety and obstacle avoidance)

  • The name “Sum Kor” (meaning “Complete Wealth” or “High Nobility”) represents the goal of abundance in material and spiritual life

3. Sacred Material (Nur Din)

The clay used was a carefully prepared sacred mixture, including:

  • Soil from sacred temple grounds in Nakhon Pathom and Bangkok

  • Powdered fragments of ancient votive tablets

  • Earth collected from holy sites with Buddhist historical significance

  • Mixed with herbal ashes and candle wax from long chanting sessions at Wat Sai

  • Sun-dried and chanted over many sessions before pressing

4. Consecration Ceremony (Phuttha Phisek)

  • Held at Wat Sai, B.E. 2514, under the guidance of Luang Phor Muan

  • Attended by senior monks from surrounding provinces, including those from Wat Bang Phra, Wat Klang Bang Kaew, and Wat Sam Ngam

  • Included continuous chanting of protective sutras (Parittas) for several nights

  • Luang Phor Muan was known for his mastery in incantations and sacred geometry, ensuring the amulet was ritually complete

5. Spiritual Benefits of Wearing

Devotees believe that this amulet offers:

  • Prosperity and wealth (Chok Larp & Maha Lap)

  • Protection from harm and misfortune (Klaew Klaad)

  • Respect and popularity (Metta Mahaniyom)

  • Career advancement and noble support, especially favored by merchants and businesspersons

  • The Chinese name “富贵佛” links it symbolically with high fortune and social honor

6. Collectability and Recognition

  • Known among collectors as a rare hybrid-style Somdej with a Thai-Chinese cultural fusion

  • Considered one of the more unique Somdej forms created in the early 1970s

  • Certified examples often include temple code stamps or original casing

  • Increasingly sought after in both Thailand and overseas Chinese communities due to its auspicious symbolism and historical origin
