The Life of Luang Phu Nak

Luang Phu Nak was born on January 3, 2415 BE, in Ban Bang Poon, Pathum Thani province. His father, Mr. Nuan, and mother, Mrs. Luean, raised him with strong Buddhist values, which would later shape his destiny as a monk. At the age of 12, Luang Phu Nak was ordained as a Samanera novice monk at Wat Sarapat Chang, under the guidance of Pra Atigarn Hwang Tamma Chodti. He spent his early years studying the Dhamma Vinaya, the teachings of the Buddha, and honing his meditative skills.

As he grew in wisdom and spiritual prowess, Luang Phu Nak was reordained as a fully fledged Bhikkhu at Wat Sutat in Bangkok, a royal decree temple, in the year of the Dragon, 2435 BE. His Upachaya ordaining officer was Somdej Pra Wanaratana (Luang Por Daeng), a highly respected monk of the time. Luang Phu Nak’s monk name, “Sumananaakoe,” translates to “Companion of the Nagas,” reflecting his deep connection with  Wicha Saiyasart, and the Nether-Worlds.

The Making of the Takrut Hnaa Bpaag Suea

The Takrut Hnaa Bpaag Suea, a tiger forehead skin scroll talisman, is Luang Phu Nak’s most famous creation. According to Ajarn Spencer Littlewood, a renowned expert on Thai amulets and Buddha magic, this amulet is considered one of the most powerful and sought-after talismans in the world of Thai amulets.

The Takrut Hnaa Bpaag Suea is said to possess the power of the tiger, with its forehead skin serving as a conduit for the animal’s strength, courage, and protection.

The creation of the Takrut Hnaa Bpaag Suea was a labor-intensive process, requiring great skill and attention to detail. Luang Phu Nak would first immerse the forehead skin in holy water to soften it, then scrape off the fur, leaving bare skin.

He would then inscribe the skin with sacred symbols and prayers, using the Wicha Maha Ud, a powerful magical script. The skin was then wrapped into a scroll, tied with holy Sinjana cords, and lacquered with gold leaf.

 

Magical Properties and Benefits

This powerful amulet is crafted from the rolled-up forehead hide of a tiger, imbued with the sacred spells of Wicha Suea Tiger Magick. The tiger’s innate energies are believed to possess a range of potent magical properties.

The tiger’s forehead hide is said to be naturally endowed with these sorcerous powers, making the Takrut Hnaa Bpaag Suea an exceptionally potent and desirable amulet. Its magical properties are believed to bring the wearer great opportunities for advancement, success, and recognition, while also inspiring the loyalty and devotion of others.

The Wicha Suea Tiger Magick within the amulet is thought to amplify these natural energies, creating a powerful and irresistible force that can help the wearer achieve their goals and ambitions. Whether seeking to enhance their career, attract wealth and prosperity, or simply to inspire the admiration and respect of others, the Takrut Hnaa Bpaag Suea is believed to be an invaluable tool for achieving success and realizing one’s desires.

The Takrut Hnaa Bpaag Suea is believed to possess a range of properties and benefits, including:

  • Maha Ud Kong Grapan Chadtri: Invincibility magic, protecting the wearer from harm and danger
  • Chai Chana: Victory-bringing magic, attracting success and triumph in all endeavors
  • Klaew Klaad: Evasive magic, allowing the wearer to avoid accidents and misfortune
  • Maha Amnaj: Commanding power and superiority magic, granting the wearer authority and respect
  • Metta Maha Niyom: Mercy charm, attracting positive energies and improving loving relationships
  • Anti-Black Magic: Protection from malevolent spirits and negative energies, curses and spells.

The Legend of Luang Phu Nak’s Takrut

The legend of Luang Phu Nak’s Takrut Hnaa Bpaag Suea has been passed down through generations, with stories of its incredible powers and benefits. Devotees would often report experiencing strange and wonderful occurrences while wearing the amulet, such as increased confidence, improved relationships, and protection from harm.

The Legendary Takrut Hnaa Bpaag Suea Tiger amulet of LP Nak, of Wat Arun.One famous story tells of how Luang Phu Nak’s devotees would notice that even buffaloes would cower in fear when they passed by, sensing the powerful magic of the Takrut Hnaa Bpaag Suea. This anecdote has become a testament to the amulet’s potency and Luang Phu Nak’s exceptional spiritual powers.

Rarity and Authenticity

The Takrut Hnaa Bpaag Suea is an extremely rare amulet, with only a limited number created by Luang Phu Nak during his lifetime. The amulet’s rarity is due in part to the difficulty of obtaining tiger forehead skin, as well as the strict conditions under which the Takrut could be created. Luang Phu Nak would only make the Takrut on 5th Lunar Saturdays, which are rare and occur only a few times a year.

Authenticity is a major concern when it comes to the Takrut Hnaa Bpaag Suea, as many counterfeit versions have been created over the years. To ensure authenticity, collectors and enthusiasts should look for documentation and certification from reputable sources, such as the temple where the amulet was created, or from recognized experts in the field of Thai amulets.

Background Info on Phra Pidta

Since very early times in Thailand, Pra Pid Ta amulets, as well as Pra Pid Ta in the shape of Pha Yant and Bucha sculptures, have been made as objects of adoration and protection. Using the Buddhist sculpture and art that was accessible at the time, the artisans of that era developed a variety of styles and interpretations. Various Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, or Deities are fashioned into the posture of Pra Pid ta, or Pid Tawarn (meaning “closing the orifices”), to create the Pid ta posture (‘Pid Ta’ means “covering the eyes”). Pid Tawarn can seal 7, or 9 orifices (the number 7 is referred to as Pra Pid Sadtatawarn, while the number 9 is known as Pra Pid Navatawarn). The Phra Pidta amulet, also known as “the closed-eye Buddha,” is believed to bring blessings of protection, good luck, and wealth to the wearer.

Pra Pid Ta Maekasit Pim Hoo Gradtay Luang Phu Nak Wat Huay Jorakahae
The Phra Pidta amulet, represents a meditating monk entering into the state of Nirodha. Nirodha is the third of the Buddha’s Four Noble Truths and it refers to the attainment of the cessation of suffering. In Buddhist teachings, Nirodha is understood as the state of being where all mental defilements, such as ignorance, greed, and hatred, have been completely eliminated. This state is reached through the practice of meditation and the cultivation of wisdom, and it is considered the ultimate goal of Buddhism.

Base of Pra Pid Ta Maekasit Pim Hoo Gradtay Luang Phu Nak

The third of the four noble truths according to Buddhist tradition is defined as Nirodha Sacca (also spelt Nirodha Sacca in Pali; Nirodha Satya in Sanskrit). Sacca denotes “truth” or “reality,” whereas Nirodha means cessation or extinction. Therefore, the translation of nirodha sacca is generally “truth of cessation” or “truth of the cessation of suffering.” It explicitly refers to the cessation of Dukkha (suffering) and its causes; the resultant experience is defined as nirvana. Nirodha can indicate a variety of things, such as release, cessation, extinction, the end of dukkha, and “control or restraint.” The cessation of all unsatisfactory experiences and their causes in a way that prevents them from occurring again is what Nirodha Sacca means. It is their elimination, complete absence, cessation, and ceasing from existing.

The image of a meditating Buddha entering Nirodha, is representative of the amulet’s ability to bring peace and block out all forms of inauspicious events and bad luck. It is believed that by wearing the Phra Pidta amulet, the wearer will be protected against all dangers and black magic. The amulet is believed to have the power to block out negative energy and to protect the wearer from harm. Famouls for their Kong Grapan, Metta, Klaew Klaad, and Maha Lap Magic.

Ancient Amulet Talk – Two Pra Somdej Chedi Norn

Categories: Ancient Amulet Powder Amulet
Comments Off on Ancient Amulet Talk – Two Pra Somdej Chedi Norn
Pra Somdej Pim Chedi Norn Wat Lakorn Tam by Luang Phu Nak of Wat Rakang, and Luang Por Supoj, of Wat Sutat

Presenting a new video with narrative by Ajarn Spencer Littlewood in our new series of videos ‘Amulet Talk’ which present you with the first of many insightful videos with narratives, to increase your awareness, and to bring interesting aspects of the topic of Thai Buddhist Amulets to you for your enjoyment. We hope this new series of videos provides you with useful study material. This episode of Amulet Talk provides a look at two Pra Somdej Pim Chedi Norn Wat Lakorn Tham, from two great master monks, which feature Buddha images seated over one of the horizontal ‘sleeping’ chedi stupas of Wat Lakorn Tam. We invite you to enjoy the HD Video and Narrative by Ajarn Spencer Littlewood, which gives a basic look at these two amulets which have a semi tenuous relationship to each other, but which are also completely distinct from each other. The Pra Somdej Chedi Norn Wat Lakorn Tham amulets of Luang Phu Nak (Wat Rakang Kositaram) and The Pra Somdej Hwaek Man Pim Chedi Norn of Luang Por Supoj (Wat Sutat).

The amulets represent the two chedi stupas at Wat Lakorn Tam temple, which were built and installed by the great Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri of Wat Rakang Kositaram. The two amulets are made by Luang Phu Nak of Wat Rakang Kositaram in the year 2495 BE (left side in white Puttakun Powders), and from Jao Khun Sri Sonti (Luang Por Supoj) of Wat Sutat, for the Indojin Indo-China Wartime Blessing ceremony, made in Nuea Wan Pasom Pong Gao. There were actually three different masters who made Pra Somdej Pim Chedi Norn, the third being Luang Phu Hin of Wat Rakang Kositaram, whose amulet is not shown in this vide, but which we will show when we obtain an example, in a future video.

Pra Somdej Pim Chedi Norn amulets by Luang Phu Nak of Wat Rakang, and Luang Por Supoj, of Wat Sutat

Both amulets from both masters (who were colleagues of each other), were made using broken pieces of ancient Pra Somdej Wat Rakang Kositaram amulets from the time of Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri. The amlets are however distinct, and made at different times, with different designs, the only things in common truly being the Muan Sarn Sacred Powder content using ancient Pra Somdej Wat Rakang Kositaram, and the imagery of the sleeping Chedi Stupas of Wat Sutat. otherwise, the Buddha images and their outer arches, and daises, are distinct and apart from each other. For example, the Buddha on the Pra Somdej Chedi Norn Luang Phu Nak has a single tiered dais, whereas the Buddha on the Pra Somdej Chedi Norn Luang Por Supoj, has four tiered dais.
