Phra Somdej Hubaysri 9 Chan Nur Phong Namon – B.E. 2505 (1962)

Created by Luang Phor Khom, Wat Phai Rong Wua, Suphan Buri

A Sacred Talisman of Enlightenment, Protection, and Merit

1. Background and Purpose of Creation

In B.E. 2505 (1962), during a crucial period of development at Wat Phai Rong Wua, Luang Phor Khom initiated the creation of Phra Somdej Hubaysri 9 Chan. This amulet was made to support the monumental project of constructing the world’s largest cement Buddha image, which would later become a landmark of Suphan Buri and a symbol of Thai faith.

Proceeds from this batch were also used to fund various temple developments, including the filling of lowland areas, digging of communal ponds, construction of monk residences, and building educational Dhamma structures. Thus, this amulet was not only sacred—it was part of a visionary social mission.

2. Sacred Composition – Nur Phong Namon

This amulet is crafted from Nur Phong Namon (sacred holy powder), a blend deeply infused with spiritual significance and ritual purity.

Key Materials:

• Phong Itthijay, Maharaj, Trinisinghe – powders derived from sacred chants

• Flower pollen from temple ceremonies

• Ashes of sacred texts and incense used during Buddhist rituals

• Powdered fragments of ancient amulets believed to carry residual power

• Holy water and oils (Nam Mon) used to moisten and bind the ingredients

This composition was believed to enhance the energy flow of the amulet, making it responsive to the prayers and faith of the wearer.

3. Pim Design – The 9-Tiered Structure (Hubaysri 9 Chan)

The name “Hubaysri” refers to a spiritual realm or “heavenly domain,” and the “9 Chan” signifies nine ascending levels, symbolizing:

• The nine levels of Jhana (meditative absorption)

• The nine celestial realms in Buddhist cosmology

• The nine perfections (Parami) required for enlightenment

• Step-by-step progression toward Nirvana

The Buddha image is depicted in a serene meditative posture, seated atop a 9-layered base—representing the gradual elevation of the mind from worldly attachment toward spiritual liberation.

4. Consecration and Ritual Blessing

Luang Phor Khom personally oversaw the Phutthaphisek (consecration) ceremony of this amulet. The process included:

• Extended chanting of protective Parittas by senior monks

• Silent meditative empowerment (abhiseka) by Luang Phor Khom

• Ritual chanting of the Itthipiso and Katha Chinabanchon

• Infusion of spiritual metta (loving-kindness) into each amulet

Some accounts note that the amulets were blessed multiple times over a period, increasing their spiritual potency.

5. Spiritual Benefits and Believed Powers

Phra Somdej Hubaysri 9 Chan is considered one of the most powerful and well-rounded amulets crafted by Luang Phor Khom. It is revered for offering both practical protection and spiritual upliftment.

Believed Benefits:
