Purpose of Creation
This Roon Waew Nkyung (peacock aura-pattern batch) was created in BE2482 as a special batch for close disciples and lay devotees. The Peacock Pattern was symbolic of charisma, majesty, and protection — qualities associated with both Luang Phor Derm and this sacred image.
The amulet was made to:
-
Commemorate the life and spiritual achievements of Luang Phor Derm
-
Distribute protective talismans to followers during the wartime era
-
Raise funds for temple development and support of monastic activities at Wat Nong Pho
Materials Used (Nur Kradas)
The material used for this batch is Nur Kradas, meaning sacred paper infused with spiritual essence. The paper was:
-
Soaked and inscribed with sacred yantra (ยันต์)
-
Mixed with powdered herbs, candle wax, and powdered charcoal from holy incantation ceremonies
-
Occasionally included traces of old sacred powders used by Luang Phor Derm in his earlier creations
The back of the amulet (Lang Yant) was imprinted with a sacred yantra (often hand-drawn or stamped), typically invoking protection, invincibility, and authority.
Consecration Ceremony
The BE2482 consecration was personally supervised and blessed by Luang Phor Derm himself. The process included:
-
Multi-day chanting of protective katha (incantations)
-
Meditation by LP Derm and selected senior monks
-
Energizing the amulets through the invocation of elemental forces (earth, wind, fire, water, and void) as per traditional Thai Buddhist magic
These sacred items were believed to store spiritual energy and protective forces imbued directly from LP Derm’s focused mind and spiritual attainments.
