A rarely seen exhibit of a Pra Somdej Pim Jiw Sam Chan, Sacred Powder Votive Tablet, from the Wat Prasat Bunyawas 2505-2506 BE Mega Blessing Ceremony, with the Blessings of 234 Master Monks over two ceremonies. This model is a miniature size Pim Jiw, and is preferred exhibit for the presence of 'Kraap Fong Tao Hoo' Mildew from exposure to prayer water spray, and from moisture within the storage chamber, for indeed, some amulets were hidden within Kru chamber after the ceremony, and distributed sporadicaly on speciall occasions.

The Pra Somdej is a Sacred Buddha Amulet from the great historical Wat Prasat Bunyawas 2505 BE Ceremony - Nuea Khaw. This highly Sacred and extremely rare amulet contains Sacred Muan Sarn and Broken Amulets from first edition 2497 and 2505 BE Luang Phu Tuad Wat Chang Hai Amulets, and a host of other Sacred Powders including Wat Bang Khun Prohm Pra Somdej Amulets.

This model is pressed in Nuea Pong Wised, containing 5 kinds of Sacred Yantra Powders and broken amulets from from many Great Temples and Guru Masters. This particular exhibit reveals the aspects of Muan Sarn Sacred Powders of Wat Bang Khun Prohm amulets most clearly.The amulets were Blessed by 234 Great Guru Master Monks in Two Massive Blessing Ceremonies at Wat Prasat Bunyawas. This model is an extremely well kept Pristine Exhibit, with very clear features, and a classic surface sheen, worthy of competition entry.

The Pim Sam Chan Khanad Jiw is a relatively rare model of the edition, and this amulet is also an especially beautiful exhibit with its Fong Tao Hoo Mildew. 'Kraap Fong Tao Hoo' means 'Soya Milk Foam' and describes the bubbly appearance of the Kraap Mildew formations on the surface of the amulet. The presence of Muan Sarn Powders from Wat Bang Khun Prohm and Wat Rakang Kositaram amulets is evidently present within the Muan Sarn Clay.The 2555 BE (1961) Wat Prasat Bunyawas Edition Amulets, is a universally accepted and officially recognized edition of classic Buddhist Amulets, of extremely high esteem.

One reason it is so highly respected as the sacred edition of Amulets, is the fact that the creation of the sacred Muan Sarn Powders for this edition were given extreme attention to detail, and were gathered together over a long period of time, and donated from many great masters.The blessing ceremony for these Amulets is also a historically famous blessing ceremony, for its immensity, and the presence of great powerful guru monks.

The temple of Wat Prasat Bunyawas was built in 2376 BE, and was first given an official boundary and a name in 2379 BE, being first named 'Wat Klong Sam Sen', because it was located over the Sam Sen tributary canal. Its name was later changed to 'Wat Khwid', because of the 2 Sacred Giant Khwid Trees, which stood beside the Uposadha Shrine Room.Later, in the year 2498 Buddhist Era, the temple was burned in a terrible fire. Many of the temple buildings were destroyed, including the Uposada shrine room.

Pra Kroo Samuh Ampol Palawatano, the Abbot at the time, decided to build a new shrine room instead of repairing the ruins of the old one. This was because of a seemingly miraculous event; Luang Phu Tim, the Great Guru Master Monk and Abbot of Luang Phu Tuad's Legendary Wat Chang Hai temple, had had a vision of the great bodhisattva Luang Phu Tuad, Who appeared to him in a dream and told him to go to Bangkok and help to repair a temple which had been burned to the ground.

After having spoken, Luang Phu Tim presented the Abbot with some original 2505 BE Luang Phu Tuad amulets (now one of the two most famous classic top editions of millionaire Amulets of Luang Phu Tuad). He said they should be used to press a block mold for the making of a new series of Amulets to fund the rebuilding of the shrine room and the rest of the temple.

He also donated an amount of the Famously Powerful and Rare 'Din Kakyayaks' Magickal Peat Earth to use as Muan Sarn for the amulets, and some other Muan Sarn remaining from the 2497 BE first ever edition of Luang Phu Tuad amulets. These ingredients were the added to a large array of other Historically Famous Sacred Muan Sarn, including broken sacred amulets from many great Masters, and many very famous miraculous editions of classic Amulets.

Some of the more well known amulets used to break up and mix in with the sacred powders included; Pra Somdej Wat Bang Khun Prohm 2500 BE, and Pra Somdej Wat Bang Khun Prohm 2509 BE (The two most famous classic and expensive editions of Wat Bang Khun Prohm amulets).As far as the Luang Phu Tuad models of this edition, they were made to place 84,000 of them within the Chedi Stupa, at Wat Bunyawas (this is known as 'Kru' hiding place chamber, used to place amulets for safekeeping and folate to distribution to extend the period of the preservation of the existence of the Buddhist religion).

A Large number of extra Amulets were also made in addition to the 84,000 placed within the Chedi, to hand out to Devotees at the temple, during the blessing ceremony.The Luang Phu Tuad series was completed first and released in the year 2505 Buddhist era. As to the many other different models (such as this Pra Somdej) which were made, they received a second blessing and were released in the year 2506 Buddhist era. The Edition rceived 3 days and 3 nights of Chanting, from the 6th to 9th of March 2506. The second Ceremony was performed for 4 days and 4 nights, from the 13th to 15th of November 2506.

This exhibit was one of four we obtained from the Kru Chamber, which can be seen in the below picture, in natural light, revealing its features accurately in the below photograph.

These were handed out to the congregation who came to paste to gold leaf on the Buddha image which was being installed and blessed with the Buddha Abhiseka (opening of the eyes of the Buddha ceremony). The very same ceremony also installed and consecrated a Buddha footprint image which was also installed in the temple on the same day and covered with gold leaf by the congregation.

A total of 234 great guru monks were present to perform the Chanting of the blessings, and the empowerment of the Amulets. There was so many monks Present, that they could not fit inside the shrine room, and had to fill the surrounding area around the terraces of the Uposadha.

Four full days and nights of chanting were performed over these amulets by the 234 monks. The ceremony was so massive that it was considered to be the largest and most important sacred blessing ceremony of Amulets, since the great 25 centuries of Buddhism ritual, in the year 2500 Buddhist era.
