Phra Lp Thuad Ac Chum Chikiri Wat Phraborm-that B.E.2497

Luang Phu Thuad Amulet by Ajarn Chum Chaikiri (1954 / B.E. 2497) is recognized as one of the most prominent Luang Phu Thuad and Khao Or lineage amulets, known for its well-documented history, sacred consecration ceremonies, and high popularity among collectors.

1. Origins and Connection to Wat Chang Hai

In 1954 (B.E. 2497)—the exact same year Phra Khru Visaisophon (Ajarn Tim of Wat Chang Hai) created the iconic first batch of herbal Luang Pho Thuad amulets—Ajarn Chum Chaikiri traveled to Wat Chang Hai in Pattani Province. His purpose was to invite Ajarn Tim to participate in the grand consecration ceremony at Wat Phra Borommathat Woramahawihan in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province.

Upon seeing the image of Luang Phu Thuad, Ajarn Chum was deeply inspired by faith and requested permission from Ajarn Tim to cast mold replicas of Luang Phu Thuad for his own ceremony. Ajarn Tim consented and donated a portion of his sacred materials for the creation.

2. Physical Characteristics and Types

The Luang Phu Thuad amulets created in this batch generally fall into two main categories:

1. Single Amulet Mold (Luang Phu Thuad Khao Or / Wat Phra Borommathat): A compact amulet made from baked clay mixed with sacred powder and herbal medicine, featuring Luang Phu Thuad seated in meditation on the front.

2. Holy Water Bowl Attachment / Maha Yant Dharmaraja: Features a miniature Luang Phu Thuad figure affixed to the center of a powder-based holy water bowl or surrounded by the Great Dharmaraja Yantra, used for consecrating holy water according to Khao Or traditions.

Material Characteristics: The composition is identical to the Phra Yod Khun Phon and other amulets from the same 1954 ceremony (baked clay mixed with ancient pagoda powder and herbs). The back often reveals embedded mineral fragments or sacred mineral beads (referred to by some as “Lek Lai Plerng” or “Lek Lai Ta Nam”).

3. Sacred Materials (Muan Sarn)

The materials gathered for Ajarn Chum’s 1954 ceremony are considered among the most sacred in Thai amulet history, incorporating:

• Ancient Pagoda Powders: From over 108 ancient pagodas across Thailand (e.g., fragments from Nang Tra, Tha Ruea, Somdej Wat Rakang, Bang Khun Phrom, Phra Phong Suphan, Phra Rod/Phra Khong Lamphun, etc.).

• Auspicious Herbs and Materials: 108 types of sacred herbs, soil from holy sites, blessed powder from master monks, and sacred Luang Phu Thuad herbal mass provided by Ajarn Tim of Wat Chang Hai.

4. Consecration Ceremony (Wat Phra Borommathat Ceremony, 1954)

The grand consecration ceremony was held at Viharn Luang, Wat Phra Borommathat Woramahawihan, Nakhon Si Thammarat.

• Duration: Pressing of the amulets began on August 2, 1954, followed by continuous chantings throughout the rains retreat (from September 14 to October 12, 1954).

• Participating Masters: Over 108 prominent monks from the Khao Or lineage and renowned practitioners of the era were invited to chant and empower the amulets, including:

  • Pho Than Khlai (Wat Suan Khan)

  • Luang Pho Tim (Wat Chang Hai)

  • Luang Pho Opasi (Asrom Bang Mod)

  • Luang Pho Khiao (Wat Rong Bon)

  • Ajarn Nam Kaeo-chann (while still a layman) alongside disciples of the Khao Or lineage.

• Efficacy Testing: Following Khao Or traditions, Ajarn Chum publicly demonstrated and tested the invulnerability (Kong Krapan) and safe evasion (Klaew Klaad) powers of the amulets before releasing them to devotees.

Summary

The Luang Phu Thuad Amulet by Ajarn Chum Chaikiri (1954) is highly sought after because it was blessed by Ajarn Tim of Wat Chang Hai (the creator of the original 1954 Luang Phu Thuad) together with Ajarn Chum Chaikiri and the Khao Or masters. Thus, it serves as an equally sacred and powerful alternative to the first edition Wat Chang Hai Luang Phu Thuad.

阿赞仲·猜杰裂（Ajarn Chum Chaikiri）于佛历2497年（1954年）督造的龙普托佛牌，是龙普托系及考奥（Khao Or）法脉中最具代表性的圣物之一。其制作历史清晰、开光仪式极为严谨，在佛牌收藏界享有极高的声誉。

1. 缘起与象牙寺（Wat Chang Hai）的渊源

佛历2497年，正值阿赞添（Ajarn Tim / 象牙寺住持）督造第一期闻名遐迩的草药龙普托佛牌之年。阿赞仲前往北大年府的象牙寺，邀请阿赞添出席即将在洛坤府（Nakhon Si Thammarat）的帕玛哈泰寺（Wat Phra Borommathat）举行的盛大加持法会。

阿赞仲见到龙普托的圣像后生起极大的信心，便向阿赞添请求翻模复制龙普托圣像以制作佛牌。阿赞添欣然同意，并赠予了部分制作首期龙普托所需的珍贵圣料。

2. 圣物外观与形式

本期制作的龙普托佛牌主要有两种形式：

1. 单尊佛牌（考奥 / 帕玛哈泰寺龙普托）： 采用烧结泥土混合经粉与草药制成，尺寸精巧，正面为龙普托禅定圣像。

2. 圣水钵 / 大法王符印嵌入版： 为小型龙普托圣像，镶嵌于经粉制成的圣水钵中央，或由“大法王符印”（Maha Yant Dharmaraja）环绕，专门用于按照考奥法脉加持圣水。

材质特征： 佛牌材质与同期法会督造的“帕ยอดขุนพล”（Phra Yod Khun Phon）相同（泥烧混合古塔粉与草药）。背面通常镶嵌有圣矿石颗粒（部分牌友称为“火舍利”或“水眼铁流舍利 Lek Lai”）。

3. 制作圣料（Muan Sarn）

阿赞仲2497年法会所收集的圣料，被公认为泰國佛牌史上最神圣的组合之一，其中包括：

• 古塔经粉： 汇集了全泰108个以上古塔的碎粉（如 Nang Tra、Tha Ruea、瓦拉康阿赞多崇迪、邦坤พรหม、Supannaburi Supan粉牌、Lamphun Rod/Khong古佛等）。

• 吉祥草药与圣物： 108种神圣草药、来自圣地的土壤、高僧大德加持的经粉，以及阿赞添赠予的龙普托专属草药圣料。

4. 开光加持法会（佛历2497年 帕玛哈泰寺法会）

加持仪式于洛坤府帕玛哈泰寺的大雄宝殿内隆重举行：

• 加持时间： 于佛历2497年8月2日开始压模，随后在整个守夏节期间进行持续加持（自1954年9月14日至10月12日）。

• 与会高僧： 邀请了108位考奥法脉及当时极具法力的顶尖高僧共同诵经加持，包括：

  • 婆谭凯（Pho Than Khlai – Wat Suan Khan）

  • 阿赞添（Ajarn Tim – Wat Chang Hai）

  • 龙婆欧巴洗（Luang Pho Opasi）

  • 龙婆绿（Luang Pho Khiao – Wat Rong Bon）

  • 阿赞南（Ajarn Nam – 此时尚未出家）及考奥法脉众多弟子。

• 功效测试： 依照考奥法脉的传统，阿赞仲在将佛牌结缘给信众之前，公开展示并测试了佛牌在避险（Klaew Klaad）与刀枪不入（Kong Krapan）方面的护身法力。

总结

阿赞仲佛历2497年龙普托佛牌深受收藏家喜爱，原因在于它是由象牙寺阿赞添（首期龙普托创制者）与阿赞仲及考奥众高僧共同加持。因此，它被公认为是可以完美替代象牙寺2497年首期龙普托的早期异寺圣物，效力极其强劲。
