2. Background and Legacy of Luang Pu Khai

Luang Pu Khai, who lived during the late 19th to early 20th century, was a revered monk in the Bangkok Yai area. Known for his deep meditation, moral purity, and early-generation sacred amulets, he passed away in B.E. 2485 (1942 CE).

By B.E. 2515, Wat Chernglen initiated a posthumous commemorative project to honor his legacy and spiritual contributions. This Phra Pidta was modeled after Luang Pu Khai’s traditional design and infused with sacred energy through elaborate consecration rites.

3. Symbolism of Phra Pidta

Phra Pidta depicts a meditating Buddha or arahant covering his eyes, symbolizing:

4. Sacred Materials (Nur Phong Daeng – Red Powder)

This batch of Phra Pidta was crafted using Nur Phong Daeng, or Red Sacred Powder, known for its spiritual intensity and symbolic potency. The reddish hue comes from the inclusion of iron-rich herbal ingredients and auspicious substances commonly used in traditional Thai consecrations.

Key Material Components:

• Phong Itthijay, Maharaj, Trinisinghe – sacred powders generated through the recitation of powerful protective chants

• Crushed sacred flowers and incense ash from long-term temple rituals

• Red herbal compounds such as powdered chan-daeng bark and betel vine residue, traditionally used for strength and vitality

• Fragments of earlier sacred objects attributed to Luang Pu Khai and early-generation masters

• Other organic and mineral-based enhancers blended during auspicious astrological timing

The use of Nur Phong Daeng symbolizes metta (loving-kindness), power, and invincibility, commonly favored in amulets designed for both protection and authority.
