The “M16” batch of Phra Luang Pu Thuad amulets, consecrated in B.E. 2534, is one of the most well-known and sought-after creations by Archan Nong, a revered Southern Thai master and direct spiritual successor in the lineage of Luang Pu Thuad.

Materials Used (Nur Wahn)

The amulets were made from a sacred blend of herbal and magical substances, including:

• Ancient holy herbs (Wahn) collected from deep jungles and sacred sites in the South

• Powdered old Luang Pu Thuad amulets

• Ashes from previous fire sermons and chanting candles

• Yantra scripts and sacred relics ground into powder

• Pollens and resins used in consecration rites

• Palm fibers and temple soil from Wat Sai Khao

All ingredients were ritually blessed and combined under strict spiritual discipline to ensure maximum protective energy.

Consecration Ceremony

The ceremony was personally conducted by Archan Nong, known for his deep meditative attainment and mastery of Southern occult sciences. It included:

• Long-period chanting of Katha Luang Pu Thuad

• Sacred invocations of the four elements and protective deities

• Infusion of metta (loving-kindness) and kasinā energy from Archan Nong’s meditation

• Repeated empowerment over several months before release

The amulets were charged with protective and life-saving properties, in line with Luang Pu Thuad’s reputation as a miracle monk.

Origin of the “M16” Name

The nickname “M16” came from real-life testimonies of devotees who were shot at—especially with M16 assault rifles—but remained unharmed while wearing this amulet. These stories were widely publicized, including in local newspapers and Thai TV programs during the early 1990s.

Popular Cases

1. Soldiers and Police in the Southern border provinces reported surviving ambushes and firefights without injury.
