Wat Suthat Thepwararam, Bangkok • Pim Yai • Nur Thong Daeng (Red-Bronze) • Healing Lineage
Main obverse — classic Wat Suthat Kring form in red-bronze, associated with healing and protective rites.
Historical Significance
Issued in BE2538 (1995 CE) by Wat Suthat Thepwararam, this Phra Kring 9 Yod (Pim Yai) continues the royal-temple healing lineage. The edition supported restoration works and reaffirmed Wat Suthat’s reputation as a principal center for Phra Kring consecrations in Thailand.
Obverse detail — serene Kring posture associated with compassionate healing.
Contextual Insight: The softly audible inner kring bead is read as the “Dhamma in motion” — blessings that circulate through body and mind. “9 Yod” references nine excellences, a complete set of auspicious qualities sought by lay devotees.
Temple of Origin & Ritual Discipline
A first-class royal monastery, Wat Suthat conducts precise Putthapisek protocols with senior monastics. The 9 Yod batch followed measured chant cycles and protective paritta, aligning with the temple’s long-standing Kring tradition.
Reverse / side — crisp casting lines and clean cavity seat for the inner bead.
Materials & Craftsmanship
| Metal Matrix | Nur Thong Daeng (red-bronze) with selected blessed metals for tonal stability and refined patina. |
| Inner Mechanism | Traditional kring bead enclosed in the cavity; gentle ring signifies continuous blessings. |
| Pim / Size | Pim Yai (large mold), aligned with Wat Suthat’s classic Kring proportions. |
Base detail — neat base finish typical of Wat Suthat modern Kring issues.
Spiritual Function & Doctrinal Purpose
Traditionally embraced for Metta Mahaniyom (loving-kindness/popularity), Klaew Klaad (protection), Maha Lap (prosperity), health and longevity, and stability in one’s path. The ringing core encourages mindfulness and compassionate action.
Rarity & Collector Significance
Collector-grade among mid-1990s royal-temple Kring editions. Sought for intact bead resonance, clean casting, original surface, and strong Wat Suthat provenance. Authentic pieces with clear markings and well-kept patina are increasingly scarce.
