Background and Purpose
The Phra Kring Lang Na Pat Yant was created by Luang Pu Toh, one of Thailand’s most respected and beloved monks, in B.E. 2518 to commemorate a special blessing ceremony and to provide healing, protection, and prosperity to his devotees.
Phra Kring amulets are traditionally associated with health, compassion, and longevity, and were originally inspired by Tibetan-style “Medicine Buddha” images.
This batch, in particular, features a yant (sacred inscription) at the back and was made using Ngern Nava, a sacred alloy composed of nine types of blessed metals.
Design Features
-
Front Image: A graceful Buddha image in meditative posture, with serene expression typical of Luang Pu Toh’s design lineage.
-
Back: Features a sacred yant (ยันต์) engraved or embossed, commonly known as “Pat Yant” or shield-style yantra.
-
Material: Nur Ngern Nava – a blend of nine auspicious metals (Nava Loha) including gold, silver, copper, brass, zinc, mercury, iron, tin, and lead—symbolizing completeness of elemental blessings.
-
Casting Method: Traditional lost-wax casting (nava loha phong rakang technique), with precise detailing and internal Kring ball (a small bead inside that emits a sound when shaken) symbolizing continuous chanting or living Dhamma.
