Biography

 

1. Amulet

Singha Sam Nur Nagae (Three Guardian Lions), carved and consecrated by Luang Phor Hom, Wat Chak Mak, Rayong Province.

2. Maker and Temple

Luang Phor Hom was the abbot of Wat Chak Mak and a highly respected monk in Rayong Province. He was known for his meditative practice and his skill in crafting spiritually potent protective amulets.

3. Period of Creation

The Singha Sam amulets were created between B.E. 2510 and 2520 (1967 to 1977). This period was a time of intense spiritual activity and temple restoration led by Luang Phor Hom.

4. Purpose of the Amulet

The amulet was made to serve as a powerful talisman of protection and spiritual strength. The symbolism of the Singha (lion) represents authority and guardianship, while the Nur Nagae (a sacred bone-ash and relic material) is associated with sacred power. The amulet was intended for protection against danger, enhancement of personal charisma, and attraction of wealth and fortune.

5. Materials Used

Crafted from Nur Nagae, a composite sacred material that may include the following:

• Powdered relic bone ash

• Temple soil from consecrated grounds

• Crushed old amulets

• Herbal and mineral powder with traditional inscriptions

  These were blended and pressed into carved lion figures representing strength and vigilance.

6. Design Characteristics

Each amulet typically features three lion figures (Singha Sam), often in stylized protective positions. Some variations incorporated naga (serpent) elements. The back may include inscriptions of sacred yantra or mantras.

7. Consecration and Ceremonies

Luang Phor Hom personally led the consecration (Buddha Abhiseka) rituals, which took place multiple times across a decade. He invited respected monks from surrounding provinces to participate in joint chanting and meditation. Notably, some ceremonies included more than 100 monks.

8. Significance and Use

The amulet was used for:

• Personal protection from harm

• Enhancing metta (loving-kindness) and attraction

• Shielding from negative energies and black magic

• Business luck and authority projection

  Farmers often hung them in rice barns to protect crops. Others carried them in shirt pockets or hung them in homes and shops.

9. Recognition and Legacy

• The Singha Sam is considered one of the most powerful talismans made by Luang Phor Hom.

• Revered as among the top-tier protective charms in Rayong Province.

• His works are featured in regional competitions and exhibitions, and have been awarded for their authenticity and power.

• His passing in B.E. 2520 (1977) marked the end of this production phase, making early editions extremely rare and valuable.
