The Phuttha Phisek at Wat Intharawihan followed classical sequence: preliminaries and purification, protective paritta recitations (incl. Chinnabanchorn), meditative empowerment, and dedication. Lead officiant: Luang Pu Poo; invited senior monks (representative examples by tradition) often include craftsmen of Rayong–Bangkok lineages. Emphasis: metta (social goodwill), safe passage (klaew klaad), and composed confidence.
