Background and Purpose
The year B.E. 2506 (1963) marked a period when many temples across Thailand sought to produce sacred objects in honor of Luang Pu Thuad’s miraculous reputation as a protector and savior in times of danger.

The purpose was twofold:
-
To raise funds for temple restoration and religious activities.

Sacred Materials (Nur Wahn)
The amulets were molded from Nur Wahn (herbal sacred powders), collected and blessed according to ancient formulae. The mixture included:
-
Holy powders (Phong Itthijae, Phong Pathamang, Phong Maharach, Phong Trinisinghe)
-
Herbal plants with auspicious properties
-
Ashes of old sacred scriptures
-
Soil and relic fragments from sacred sites
This careful blend gave the amulets their distinct texture, durability, and aura of sanctity.
