Background and Purpose
Phra Kong Kwan Roon 5 was created as part of a merit-making initiative during a key development phase of Wat Paknam. By B.E. 2527, the temple had become a central institution for Dhammakaya meditation and Dhamma propagation. The amulets were made to:
-
Fund renovation and new construction within the temple grounds
-
Support Dhamma teaching projects domestically and internationally
-
Be given as merit tokens or gifts (“Kong Kwan”) to donors and lay devotees
This was the fifth batch of amulets created under the legacy of Phra Mongkolthepmuni (Luang Pu Sodh Candasaro), founder of the Dhammakaya tradition.

Materials Used (Nur Phong)
The amulets were crafted using a sacred powder mixture, believed to include the following:

Fine incense ash from major temple ceremonies

Each component was purified, mixed during group meditation, and blessed before molding into the final amulet form.

-
Collective Dhammakaya meditation to transmit inner radiance into each amulet
-
Silent intention-setting to charge the amulets with mindfulness, clarity, and protection
-
Spiritual dedication invoking the barami (virtue) of Luang Pu Sodh
The ceremony aimed to empower the amulets not only with spiritual blessings, but also with meditative energy drawn from advanced practitioners.
