Overview and Background

In Buddhist Era 2513 (1970 CE), a sacred batch of Phra Somdej Lang Yant amulets was created and consecrated under the spiritual guidance of Chao Khun Nor, one of Thailand’s most revered monk-scholars and spiritual practitioners of the Rattanakosin era. This edition was commissioned specifically for issuance to Wat Sin Khan, with the intention of supporting its restoration efforts and propagation of Dhamma teachings.

This batch became notable for its back-yant (Lang Yant) feature and use of sacred Nur Phong materials, combined with the deeply meditative consecration for which Chao Khun Nor was famed.

About Chao Khun Nor

Chao Khun Nor was a former high-ranking royal official who renounced worldly life to ordain at Wat Thepsirin. Known for his strict monastic discipline, daily deep meditation, and solitary lifestyle, Chao Khun Nor was rarely seen blessing amulets in public ceremonies. Most of his amulets were produced in limited editions, quietly distributed to close disciples and temple-related causes.

His spiritual accomplishments earned him a reputation as a monk of high spiritual attainment, and his amulets are prized for their subtle but powerful protective energy, especially those that he empowered privately in deep meditation.

Purpose of Issuance

This 2513 batch was issued to Wat Sin Khan, a temple with historical ties to Chao Khun Nor’s lineage and location. The proceeds and spiritual merit were aimed at:

• Supporting renovation and development at Wat Sin Khan.

• Encouraging faith and fundraising through the dissemination of sacred objects.

• Continuing the tradition of spreading Buddhist teachings via votive tablets.

Features of the Amulet

1. Front Design (Phra Somdej Style)

The front of the amulet follows the classic Phra Somdej Wat Thepsirin design, with strong influence from Wat Rakhang-style images, representing the seated Buddha on a layered throne, enclosed within an arch.

2. Back Design (Lang Yant)

The reverse features a sacred yantra (yant), inscribed or pressed during the casting. This yantra is believed to enhance the amulet’s protective and auspicious power, traditionally offering blessings of:

• Metta Mahaniyom (loving-kindness and popularity)

• Klaew Klaad (evasion of danger)

• Chok Laap (fortune and prosperity)

3. Sacred Material (Nur Phong)

The Nur Phong used in this batch includes:

• Phong Itijay & Phong Pattamang, sacred powders used in traditional Thai consecration

• Remnants from previous amulets blessed by Chao Khun Nor

• Nam Man Mon (anointing oil-infused holy powder)

• Fine-grade blackened sacred powder believed to have included ground Dhamma-scripture ash and holy soil

The mixing and pressing followed strict observances of Buddhist ritual protocol.

Consecration and Ritual Process

While Chao Khun Nor preferred solitary meditation empowerment, it is believed he personally blessed this batch over multiple sessions. His empowerment technique included:

• Recitation of sacred katha

• Trance-like Samadhi focus over extended hours

• Energetic transfer through silent, internal visualization

There are unverified accounts suggesting that other monks close to Chao Khun Nor may have also helped chant to support the empowerment remotely or during temple-wide chanting sessions at Wat Thepsirin.

Distribution and Devotional Use

This batch was not commercially mass-produced, making authentic examples rare. They were distributed primarily:

• Through disciples connected with Wat Sin Khan

• To patrons of the temple restoration efforts

• To devotees who had close access to Wat Thepsirin’s inner circle

---

Known Effects and Testimonies

Devotees who have worn this amulet often report:

• Improved interpersonal relationships

• A sense of mental clarity and protection

• Unexplainable assistance in times of trouble or danger

Due to the combination of Chao Khun Nor’s strict ascetic practice, deep meditative blessing, and sacred Nur Phong materials, this batch is considered one of the most spiritually potent among his later-era creations.

Legacy and Collector Value

The BE2513 Lang Yant Nur Phong edition stands out for:

• Its unique reverse yantra

• Strong spiritual linkage to one of Thailand’s most respected meditative monks

• Connection to Wat Sin Khan, a lesser-known but spiritually significant temple

Today, it remains a rare and highly respected amulet in the Thai collector and devotee community. Its market presence is limited, and authentication is essential due to its simplicity, which makes it a frequent target for replication.
