Protective amulet Phra Pidta Phra Phong Praï Samut Achito consecrated in 2006 at Wat Hoi Rak (temple of the Very Venerable Po Than Chim Achito, Nakhon Sri Thammarat).
This series of amulets was dedicated in limited edition to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of the first series of these amulets in 1956 by the Very Venerable Por Than Chim Achito (1908 - 1984) also called Pothan Jerm or Luang Phor Chim)
The Most Venerable Po Than Chim Achito was ordained at Wat Kongkasawas (Wat Tai) by the Venerable Phrakru Prapatapoomsatit (Luang Phor Num Kesaro.
Besides spells and sacred sciences, Luang Phor Jerm also learned astrology, Dharma, and an older science called Buddum , which taught the secret Dharmas of the Buddha and the effective mastery of the power of the mind.
In 1936 Venerable Luang Phor Num Titapunyo, abbot of Wat Hoi-rak, fell seriously ill and was unable to continue his duties at the temple.
Luang Phor Jerm was then invited to take up the post of abbot.
Luang Phor Jerm learned the sacred sciences to create powerful amulets from several people.
1. Mr. Poo Kaewchuay (his father), who learned magic and sacred sciences from Phrakru Panungsilvisutipukdi, former abbot of Wat Salakaew (a famous Master during the reign of Kings Rama V and VI).
2. Venerable Luang Phor Num Késaro, specialized in many sacred sciences, including ancient herbal medicine and astrology.
3. Venerable Luang Phor Num Titapunyo, former abbot of Wat Hoi-rak, specialized in many sacred sciences, including pentacles and the powers of rare sacred substances.
Initially, Venerable Luang Por Jerm did not create amulets, preferring simply to teach the Dharma. Following repeated requests from his followers and disciples, he set about creating a series of sacred amulets. He began by gathering the necessary sacred materials, a process that took him nearly eight years.
The first batch was thus produced and distributed to the faithful in 1956.
It may be difficult to understand why it took him seven years to create an amulet, especially when compared to modern amulet-making methods.
The following list of magical components can give you an idea of the complexity and difference between amulets of yesterday and today.
List of sacred materials of Luang Phor Jerm Achito:
1. 108 bowls of a sacred medicine made from 108 plants.
2. 108 balls of earth from the deep sea.
3. 108 earth balls from the Pak Phanang River.
4. 108 earth balls from 108 temples.
5. 108 balls of earth from 108 rice fields.
6. 108 balls of earth from 108 beaches.
7. 108 balls of earth from 108 gardens.
8. 108 earth balls of 108 crab holes.
9. 108 balls of earth from a place where grass does not germinate.
10. 108 earth balls from 108 termite mounds.
11. 108 balls of earth from 108 ponds.
12. 108 balls of ashes from the funeral pyre of people who died on a Saturday and were cremated on a Tuesday.
13. 108 balls of ash from sacred Bai-Lan leaves.
14. 108 balls of earth from three cemeteries
15. 108 cups of ground flower powder, used to worship Buddha on full moon Saturdays
16. Water from Mount Chai-rat.
17. Water collected from the roof of a temple on the first Monday the 10th of the year, according to the ancient Thai lunar calendar.
18. 108 balls of soil collected from pig tails (Note: pigs are considered a sign of wealth and good fortune)
19. Ground powder from ancient sacred Pra Tarur amulets, destroyed in Nakon Sri Thamarat province
Another 700 auspicious materials were used, but not listed one by one, and many monks helped collect them, including the Most Venerable Luang Phor Pian.
In 1956 all the sacred materials were mixed and pressed into molds and blessed for five years. Some sacred incantations, such as the Pramahamern prayer and the Phra Khata Maha Petcharat were recited up to 10,000 times. According to Luang Phor Jerm, it took him a little over four months to mix all the sacred materials, and even just making the molds took three years of work because they were hand-carved from rare woods. Firing these terracotta amulets was also a long process because sacred plants, rare woods and Buddha tree leaves were used as fuel, and a good part of the amulets could not withstand the firing and cracked, and therefore had to be re-ground and re-fired.
Venerable Luang Phor Jerm also recounted that the first day the amulets were offered to his followers was Sunday, the 8th of the 12th month of the Thai lunar calendar. A date respected by the Buddha as the day of Good Luck and Eternal Blessings. Luang Phor Jerm reminded those to whom he offered amulets that they should live with honesty, integrity, and a clear conscience in order to follow the Buddha's teachings. Furthermore, Luang Por Achito also instructed his followers to make offerings of rice and water to the amulets every Saturday or Tuesday, and before leaving their homes, they should place the amulets on their heads and ask for the Buddha's protection.

This re-edition of Phra Phong Prai Samut Achito protective amulets was made following the original instructions of the lineage of Venerable Luang Phor Jerm, but the list of sacred ingredients was simplified and the manufacturing and blessings took "only" two years.
Excellent old-fashioned Phra Pidta protective amulet, not to be missed.
