Pra Um Badtr Wednesday Buddha amulet in Nuea Pong Sacred Yantra powders from the Olden Days Master Monk Luang Por Ding, of Wat Bang Wua. Especially recommended for auspicious astrological blessings, for any person born on a Wednesday in the daytime.

The front face of the amulet features the image of the Buddha standing and clasping the alms-bowl. This particular posture, is one of a multitude of postures used to depict scenes or moments from the life, and previous lives of the Buddha. This posture clasping the alms-bowl standing is known as 'Pra Um Badtr', and is allocated as the Birthday Buddha of those born on a Wednesday, and is hence commonly known as 'Wednesday Buddha' (Daytime). The Muan Sarn Sacred Powders are composed of Nuea Pong Puttakun Yantra Powders (Pong Lob).

Luang Por Ding (2420 BE - 2495 BE), was a Great Master of the Wicha Hanuman, and all Vanora Monkey Deities, for which he was extremely famous. He blessed many inimitable hand carved talismanic amulets (Krueang Rang), made from artisans of varied levels of skill, with of course the most masterfully carved attaining the highest level of preference.

His carved Vanora Monkey amulets are especially legendary and favoured. He is also associated with the symbol of the Cow (Wua), which comes from the name of the Temple (Wat Bang Wua).

The cow was often symbolically embossed on some of his amulets, in reference to the name of the temple. This votive table is perfect for those born on a Wednesday, being the posture allocated to those born on this day.

The votive table has a very dense, compact hardened clay, that has contracted as it aged and hardened over time, and has acquired the classic appearance and surface texture which is only truly visible in an authentic Master-Class Sacred Powder Votive Tablet.

Wednesday Buddha (Daytime)

Wednesday Buddhas (there is one for Daytime, and one for Night Time, depending when you were born) The first (Daytime), depicts the Buddha holding an Almsbowl.

This "Bpaaang" is derived from an event where a Miracle occured (Paadhihaariya , called "Idtibatiharn", in Thai). The first time the Buddha travelled to Kapilavatthu (called "Gabinlapat in Thai) after his Enlightenment, he levitated up into the air, causing the doubtful inhabitants of the City, and his relatives (for this was the City of his birth) to bow down in reverence.

He caused a massive rainstorm to flood the area, but where they were sitting was left untouched by the rains. He then told the story of his previous life as Vessantara (called "Prawes Sandorn" in Thai).

Prince Vessantara gave away all his possessions, including his children to become servants of an evil spirited character. In the end everything turns out right though. This Jataka (Lifetime), displays the virtue of Charity. Once the Sermon was over, the King (Buddha's father), was filled with spiritual bliss (Piti) and raised his hands in reverence to his Enlightened Son, the Buddha.

All the citizens of Kapilavatthu followed his lead and raised their hands. His Father made the supposition that because the Buddha was his Son, and used to live there with him in the Palace, that the Buddha would surely come to eat at the palace. So he neglected to invite him to come, thinking that it should be taken for granted.

He ordered fine foods to be prepared and laid out in the palace, but when he saw that the Buddha did not appear, he made his second ignorant mistake, supposing that the Buddha must have gone to bring all the other Bhikkhus (monks) to eat too. He thus ordered the servants to prepare a great banquet with food and gifts for the Monks.

When the Buddha and his "sawaka" (disciples) still did not appear, the King then contemplated the story of Buddha's previous lives, considering what Buddha had done in those lifetimes, and realised that the Buddha would always take alms on the roadside without any conceit, despite the fact he was a Prince and could eat in his Father's palace.

The Buddha indeed walked along the roadsides of the City to beg for alms, and this was the first time ever that the Folk of Kapilavatthu were able to make offerings to the great Bodhisattva Sakyamuni, and see him in his Radiance.

This incident is thus the reason for the creation of Buddha statues , standing holding the almsbowl, and is called "Pra Puttaroop Um Badtr" (Buddha holding almsbowl).
