History of Phra Sankajai Nur Phong Bailan (B.E. 2500–2515)


Maker: Luang Phor Kuay Chudtintaro

Temple: Wat Kositaram, Chainat Province

Material: Nur Phong Bailan (burnt palm-leaf powder mixed with sacred ingredients)

Period of Creation: B.E. 2500 – B.E. 2515 (1957–1972 CE)

1. Overview


Phra Sankajai (also known as Phra Sangkachai) is a revered Buddhist image representing a monk who was known for his wisdom and deep understanding of the Dhamma. LP Kuay’s Phra Sankajai amulets in Nur Phong Bailan are among his most spiritually potent and sought-after creations. These were created during the peak of his spiritual practice between B.E. 2500 and B.E. 2515, and are considered to carry strong metta (loving-kindness), maha niyom (popularity), and klaew klad (safety) properties.

2. Sacred Materials Used

  • Phong Bailan (Black Bailan powder): Derived from cremated ancient Buddhist scriptures and palm-leaf manuscripts.

  • Phong Puttakun: Mixed with sacred powders from old amulets and ceremonies.

  • Phong Ittijay, Pong Maha Rattana: Special powders blessed with protective and merciful chants.

  • Charcoal ash from incense and joss sticks used in sacred rites.


These materials were carefully blended and pressed into small molds depicting Phra Sankajai in a seated posture, typically with a joyful and content expression symbolizing abundance, luck, and peace.

3. Ritual Process and Consecration

  • Personally pressed and blessed by LP Kuay himself during periods of deep meditation and spiritual retreat.

  • Many pieces were individually chanted over for extended periods, often several months or years.

  • The blessing ceremonies included traditional katha invoking divine protection, wealth attraction, and safety from danger.

  • In some batches, the amulets were further blessed in group ceremonies with other revered monks in Chainat and surrounding provinces.

4. Notable Features

  • Distinctively black or dark grey surface due to the high concentration of Bailan powder.

  • Some versions exhibit cracks or small pits, natural signs of age and authenticity due to the organic makeup of the material.

  • Typically small in size, making them suitable for daily wear or enshrinement in personal altars.

5. Magical Properties Attributed

  • Metta Mahaniyom (Charm and popularity) – helps attract goodwill and favor from others.

  • Klaew Klad (Avoidance of danger) – users report miraculous escapes from accidents and harm.

  • Chok Larp (Luck and prosperity) – many believe the amulet enhances business and financial success.

  • Baramee (Spiritual power) – provides inner strength and mental clarity for practitioners.

6. Rarity and Collectibility

  • Highly rare, especially early-year batches around B.E. 2500–2505.

  • Many were privately distributed by LP Kuay to close disciples, villagers, and patrons who supported the temple.

  • Later batches (B.E. 2510–2515) are slightly more common but still scarce due to limited numbers and high demand.

  • Genuine pieces command high respect among Thai amulet collectors and Buddhist practitioners.

7. Related Anecdotes

  • Several wearers have shared stories of miraculous escapes, business turnarounds, and improved interpersonal relationships after receiving and wearing LP Kuay’s Phra Sankajai.

  • It is believed that Luang Phor Kuay’s deep cultivation in Vipassana meditation greatly enhanced the spiritual efficacy of his amulets.
