Mae Nang Kwak Nur Khali Thong – B.E. 2517 (1974)
Created by Luang Pu Tim of Wat Lahanrai, Rayong Province
A Sacred Talisman of Prosperity, Business Fortune, and Auspicious Blessings
1. Historical Background and Purpose of Creation
In B.E. 2517 (1974), the highly revered monk Luang Pu Tim Issarigo of Wat Lahanrai initiated the creation of the Mae Nang Kwak Nur Khali Thong amulet. This was one of the rarest and most purpose-driven batches crafted during his late years.
The primary purposes for creating this batch included:
-
To support local merchants and farmers who struggled with poverty and economic challenges, especially those in Rayong and the Eastern Seaboard who had strong faith in Luang Pu Tim.
-
To raise temple funds for expanding and renovating Wat Lahanrai’s facilities, including the construction of new monastic residences (kuti), Dhamma halls, and a school for monastic education.
-
To promote and preserve Buddhist devotion through folk beliefs, combining the popular figure of Nang Kwak with traditional sacred consecration methods.
-
To serve as a practical amulet for laypeople, especially women and market vendors, seeking blessings for financial improvement and household stability.
This batch was released quietly and in limited quantities, primarily distributed to devoted followers and temple supporters.
2. Materials and Sacred Composition
The Mae Nang Kwak amulet was produced in the Nur Khali Thong (reddish-bronze/copper alloy) variant—revered for its beauty and conductive spiritual properties.
Key materials used:
-
Thong Daeng (red brass/copper): Cast using traditional pouring methods during an auspicious hour.
-
Mixed with sacred powders previously used in Luang Pu Tim’s Phra Khun Paen and Phra Pidta batches, enhancing continuity of spiritual energy.
-
Inscriptions and base codes were added using hand-stamped temple markings, with some pieces individually numbered.
The figurine depicts Nang Kwak seated in traditional Thai attire with one arm raised in the iconic beckoning gesture—symbolizing the calling of wealth and customers.
3. Consecration and Ritual Blessings
The amulets were fully consecrated by Luang Pu Tim himself, during his late years, making this batch particularly meaningful to devotees.
The consecration included:
-
Private meditative empowerment sessions by Luang Pu Tim, who was known for his deep samādhi practice.
-
Prolonged chanting of sacred katha, especially metta and wealth-invoking mantras like “Katha Nang Kwak,” “Chinabanchon,” and “Itthipiso.”
-
Multi-day Phutthaphisek ceremony involving monks from neighboring temples who revered Luang Pu Tim as a spiritual elder.
The blessing ritual emphasized metta (loving-kindness) and utmost sincerity, with each amulet symbolizing a gift of goodwill for the lay community.
