Biography of Luang Phor Phueng & The History of Phra Phong Pim Chana Man (Phra Mae Thorani Bib Muai Phom)
Early Life & Ordination
Luang Phor Phueng was born in 1883 in Ban Phai Mu, Tambon Ton Tan, Amphoe Song Phi Nong, Suphan Buri Province. Coming from a farming family with financial hardship, he was encouraged to learn reading and Dhamma foundations early. He studied at Wat Khlong Madan under Luang Phor Saeng, learning Thai, Khmer, chanting, and Buddhist scriptures.
In 1945, he was ordained at Wat Song Phi Nong with Phra Palat Bunyang as his preceptor. His close mentors included Luang Phor Niang Inthachoto and Luang Phor Nong Inthawanno. During his monastic path, he formed close bonds with Luang Phor Sod (later of Wat Pak Nam) and Luang Phor Hom, studying meditation and Buddhist sciences.
Arrival at Wat Sawang Arom & Temple Development
On May 13, 1919, Luang Phor Phueng relocated to Wat Sawang Arom (Ban Kum Subdistrict, Song Phi Nong District, Suphan Buri). He developed and expanded the temple grounds with the community—digging a protective ditch, planting coconut trees, and preparing a mound for the ubosot. As gratitude to supporters, he distributed amulets to devotees who contributed to temple construction.
The Making of Phra Phong Pim Chana Man (BE2460 – BE2462)
Purpose of Creation
This sacred powder amulet—also known as “Phra Mae Thorani Bib Muai Phom”—was created between BE2460–BE2462 as both a devotional object and a support for temple development. In belief tradition, it is associated with victory, protection, loving-kindness (Metta Maha Niyom), and steady prosperity. Luang Phor Phueng was known for careful preparation and strict ritual discipline, ensuring each batch followed sacred standards.
Sacred Materials Used
The amulet is especially revered for its material base—collected and blessed over extended periods. Key ingredients include:
- Special magical powder: yantra chalk writings on slate, erased and collected over years until reaching high potency.
- Phra Somdej Wat Rakang fragments: added to amplify sacred lineage resonance.
- Pollen & flower powders: gathered from temple ceremonies and Buddhist rites.
- Pong Itthijay powder: traditionally associated with obstacle removal and success support.
- Holy water infusion: used as binder to keep ritual purity and stability of the sacred blend.
Consecration & Blessing Process
The consecration was described as extended and highly disciplined: sacred threads (108 lines) encircled the working area; participants observed cleansing and precepts; completed pieces were placed within the chapel for continuous prayers for three months—followed by an additional three months of personal blessing by Luang Phor Phueng. A well-known account states that in 1950, Luang Phor Sod of Wat Pak Nam requested some of Luang Phor Phueng’s sacred powder to blend into his own works—often cited by devotees as a “proof of recognition” of the powder’s reputation (belief-based tradition).
Design & Features
- Front: Buddha in meditation / Victory theme—peace, wisdom, and triumph over inner obstacles.
- Mae Thorani symbol: cleansing force that washes away falsehood and negativity.
- Back: yantra and protective symbols to reinforce the amulet’s ritual intention.
- Tones: commonly white / off-white / pale yellow, influenced by herbs, minerals, and sacred blends.
Believed Benefits (Tradition-Based)
Devotees commonly venerate this amulet for a “complete set” of belief-based support:
- Metta Maha Niyom — charm, harmony, and positive social reception
- Maha Lap — wealth flow and opportunity attraction
- Klaew Klad — safety, avoiding danger and misfortune
- Kong Kraphan — protective aura against harm and negative influence
- Success momentum — overcoming obstacles, confidence, and steady progress
Legacy & Rarity
With a limited production window (BE2460–BE2462), authentic pieces are increasingly scarce. Collectors typically look for stable powder structure, old patina, mold clarity, and consistent “age character” across the surface. Pristine examples are harder to find, increasing both collectible value and historical interest.
