Historical Significance
Issued in B.E. 2505 (1962 CE) to honor Luang Phor Phat Naratho of Wat Phatthanaram, this posthumous edition drew together southern Thailand’s most respected masters. The Putthapisek (ritual empowerment) was presided by Phor Than Klai (Wat Suan Khan), with participation from Luang Phor Tim (Wat Chang Hai) and other elders, aligning the batch with protection, metta, and livelihood blessings.

Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
