Phra Phutta Kwak Pim Yai Nur Wahn: The Legendary Amulet of Luang Phor Khan

Introduction to the Sacred Phra Putta Kwak Pim Yai

The Phra Putta Kwak Pim Yai amulet, consecrated by Luang Phor Khan (Lp Khan) of Wat Phra Si An, is an iconic piece celebrated for its extraordinary concentration of sacred materials. Created in B.E. 2504, this amulet is primarily composed of Nur Wahn—a legendary mixture containing over 1,000 sacred herbs and rare Buddha powders. Revered across Thailand, particularly in Ratchaburi and neighboring provinces, this amulet is renowned for its potent powers in protection (Klaew Klaad), wealth attraction (Maha Lap), and cultivating Metta Mahaniyom (loving-kindness and charm).

Amulet Details at a Glance:

• Creator: Luang Phor Khan
• Temple: Wat Phra Si An
• Year of Creation: B.E. 2504
• Material: Nur Wahn (Sacred Powder mixed with **over 1,000 sacred herbs**)
• Mold: Pim Yai (Large Mold), also known as **Phra Yod Khun Phon**

Historical Context: Divine Mandate for Temple Revival

The inception of this amulet batch is rooted in a deep spiritual event. One night, Luang Phor Khan experienced a profound vision of Reverend Grandfather Dam, the guardian of **Wat Phra Sri Ari**, who instructed him to remain and assist in rebuilding the temple. The enshrinement of a Buddha image, which included the creation of these amulets, was decreed as the first act of merit to compel the temple’s restoration. This spiritual mandate underscores the purity of intent behind their creation.

Purpose of Creation: Spiritual Merit and Construction Funding

The primary purposes of making the amulet were centered on generating resources for the monastic community and providing spiritual benefits to donors:

• To fund the continued reconstruction and maintenance of Wat Phra Si An.
• To secure capital for a major temple project: the construction of a 100-million-baht golden ubosot (ordination hall).
• To bestow powerful protective and fortune-bringing blessings upon those who support the Dharma.

Materials and Craftsmanship: The Potency of Nur Wahn

The Nur Wahn (sacred powder mixture) blend is what makes the Phra Putta Kwak Pim Yai historically unique. Luang Phor Khan painstakingly combined powerful, rare components:

• Over 1,000 types of orchids (Wahn), including rare varieties from Malaysia.
• Soil and earth remnants from previous B.E. 2497 Buddha consecration ceremonies.
• Fragments and dust from ancient temple bells and ceremonial vessels.
• Sacred powder from respected Southern monks.
• "Phutakhun" powdered relics miraculously obtained from Luang Phor Boontham of Wat Phra Pathom Chedi.

The first batch in **B.E. 2504** yielded approximately 40,000 pieces of the Large Mold, pressed by the monk's own hands, signifying immense personal effort. The amulet's soft white powder frequently reveals flocculated fragments and botanical specks, testament to the rich contents of the Nur Wahn.

Consecration & Spiritual Empowerment: Multigenerational Blessings

The amulets were initially blessed by Luang Phor Khan. Later, the remaining stock received powerful blessings during a grand **Phra Phutthaphisek** (Buddha consecration) ceremony in B.E. 2543 at Wat Phra Si An’s new ubosot. This ceremony ensured a legacy of spiritual power, with the participation of highly respected senior monks:

• Luang Phor Uttama (Wat Wangk Vikaram)
• Luang Phor Poon (Wat Phai Lom)
• Luang Phor Uthai (Wat Maruekkhathavan)

This intensive, combined blessing ritual is central to the amulet's enduring efficacy and high regard among collectors.

Spiritual Significance & Benefits: Wealth, Charm, and Protection

The **Phra Putta Kwak Pim Yai** is famous for its holistic blessings, derived from the profound **Nur Wahn** mixture and the power of the Bhumisparsha (Earth Witness) mudra.

The Benefits & Advantages of Wearing include:

• Protection (Klaew Klaad / Maha Ut): Provides **strikingly powerful protective abilities**, including accident prevention and resistance to weaponry. This virtue was famously demonstrated in a reported test where a blade failed to penetrate the skin of a devotee holding the amulet.
• Wealth & Noble Support (Maha Lap): It is believed to bring **fortune**, success in commerce, and provides reliable support from respected figures. This is **how it brings wealth and nobleman support**.
• Loving-Kindness (Metta Mahaniyom): Cultivates love and kindness from people, improving social standing, career prospects, and general popularity. This high charm energy is also attributed to **how it brings attraction to the opposite sex**.

Rarity and Collectibility: Limited Production and High Demand

The Phra Putta Kwak series is a coveted collector's item. **Why it is rare**:

• Finite Sacred Materials: The core composition relies on **over 1,000 types of orchids** and ancient relics, materials that could not be replaced once depleted.
• Limited Production: While a second batch was planned for one million pieces in B.E. 2523–2524, only approximately 10,000 additional amulets were created before the Nur Wahn ingredients were fully exhausted.
• Historical Price Index: The amulets gained immense traction between B.E. 2508–2515 and commanded a high price (200 baht) relative to many contemporary amulets, confirming its strong reputation early on.
