Phra Somdej Pim Na Thewada Lang “T” BE2500 Luang Phor Tae (Lp Tae) Kongthong, Wat Sam Ngam

The history of the Phra Somdej Lang T, a complete model from the year 2500 (B.E.), reveals that Luang Por Tae created these amulets to commemorate the halfway point of Buddhism—2500 years. He produced several types of sacred amulets, including the Suan Tao bell, the 3rd generation coin, and the Somdej Lang T, all of which are regarded as some of the finest creations from his hands. Each amulet holds immense significance, and the Somdej Lang T, in particular, has garnered a great deal of respect and admiration.

For the Somdej Lang T, Luang Por Tae meticulously prepared and collected various sacred powders years in advance, ensuring the highest quality and spiritual potency for his creations. The key ingredients used in the making of the Somdej Lang T include:

1. Substance from Somdej Bang Khun Phrom: Phra Khru Amorn Khanachan (Seng), the former abbot of Wat Mai Amataros (Wat Bang Khun Phrom Nai), a close acquaintance of Luang Por Tae, gifted him broken pieces of Somdej Bang Khun Phrom amulets, as well as powders from the crypt (new crypt, 2500 B.E.). This contribution, amounting to about one monk’s bowl worth of material, became an essential part of the Somdej Lang T amulet. It is noteworthy that Luang Por Tae also took part in blessing the Somdej Bang Khun Phrom 09 in 2509 B.E.

2. Na Phathamang Powder: This powder, created through an intricate process, involved the use of a chalk stick and chanting of the Na Phatthakappa (a mystical script representing endless transformation, beyond the 108 Na found in traditional texts). Luang Por Tae wrote and erased the script repeatedly, performing this ritual nine times (corresponding to the four paths, four fruits, and Nirvana). He then molded the erased powder into a stick and repeated the process another nine times, resulting in a highly potent sacred powder. Luang Por Tae would chant and bless this powder nightly before beginning his daily routine.

3. Dvaravati Buddha Fragments from Mueang Tum Crypt: Luang Por Tae also included sacred pieces from the Dvaravati period, sourced from Mueang Tum (modern-day Wat Don Yo) and the Wat Sam Ngam area, where many ancient Buddha amulets had been discovered. He ground the broken fragments into powder, incorporating them into the Somdej Lang T substance.

The creation of these amulets was a collaborative effort, overseen by Luang Por Suea. Monks, novices, and villagers assisted in pressing the molds at the temple. Elders who witnessed the process claimed that even before the amulets were blessed, they exuded an undeniable power. Throughout the creation, a strange yet pleasant fragrance seemed to fill the air, enhancing the sacred atmosphere.

This edition of Phra Somdej Lang T is considered exceptional due to its potent mixture of sacred substances and the combined blessings of two great monks: Somdej Toh and Luang Por Tae. It is widely regarded as one of the most powerful Phra Somdej amulets. Those who wear it have reported numerous experiences of protection, invulnerability (even against firearms), and great fortune. Locals know it well for its ability to protect from danger and bring loving-kindness. It stands as a true testament to the complete Buddhist power of Luang Por Tae.
