Purpose of Creation

This amulet was created as a ceremonial fundraiser to support religious infrastructure at Wat Taklom in B.E. 2512. Its design and sacred elements reflect a wish to:

• Attract wealth, charm, and generosity (through the Phra Kwak gesture)

• Provide protection and fortune through sacred inscriptions and takrut

• Spread the blessings and spiritual energy of Luang Pu Toh, one of the most venerated monks of the 20th century

Iconography and Features

• Front Image: Phra Putta Kwak (Buddha in beckoning gesture), symbolizing invitation of wealth, patrons, and luck—particularly favored by merchants and householders.

• Reverse Side: Features a hand with a sacred yant (yantra) – known as “Yant Lang Mue,” believed to represent the transmission of divine protection and metta (loving-kindness) through the symbolic blessing hand of the Buddha or enlightened master.

• Material: Nur Takrut – usually brass or copper base with inserted micro takruts inside the casting mold or adhered at the back, containing written yants on rolled sacred metal sheets.

• Shape: Typically oval medal-style, with a loop for enshrinement or wearing.

Blessing Ceremony

The consecration took place in B.E. 2512, led by Luang Pu Toh of Wat Pradoochimplee, one of Thailand’s most well-known monks for wealth and metta amulets (famous for Phra Somdej Prok Po and Phra Putta Chinnaraj Roon Raek).

Blessing highlights:

• The ritual included the chanting of Phra Sutta and Khmer katha, as well as the invocation of celestial and earth-based protective energies.

• Luang Pu Toh was joined by several regional monks from Samut Songkhram and Ratchaburi provinces in a full Phutthaphisek ceremony.

• The takruts were believed to have been handwritten and inserted either before or after the casting, depending on the batch.

Spiritual Properties

The Rian Phra Putta Kwak (B.E. 2512) is believed to offer:

• Chok Larp: attraction of luck and financial flow

• Metta Mahaniyom: personal charm and favor in social or business dealings

• Klaew Klad: escape from danger and harm

• Serm Duang: enhancement of life path and fortune

• Protection from spiritual harm, empowered through the hand yant and takrut codes

Collectibility and Recognition

• This amulet is rare, particularly with original takruts intact.

• Early batch medals with clear Yant Lang Mue and clean images of Luang Pu Toh’s signature blessing posture are highly sought after by collectors of Phra Kwak or Luang Pu Toh lineages.

• The combination of a popular Buddha form, a blessed hand yant, and embedded takruts, makes this amulet unique and potent.

• Often confused with commercial versions or later commemoratives, true B.E. 2512 issues are distinguishable by casting quality, temple code markings, and takrut type.
