Buddhist Amulet Circle - The P. Malakul Medal
A rare Buddhist amulet blessed by venerated Thai forest masters Luang Pu Man and Luang Pu Fuen in 1949 was created by Sakon Nakhon's education department to honor donors supporting P. Malakul School. The article explores several consecrated
"Understanding turmoil first leads to peace," according to the dharmic blessing from Luang Pho Cha Subhatto at Wat Nong Pa Phong in Ubon Ratchathani. Luang Pu Man Bhuraridatta, a pioneering master of Thailand's forest tradition, blessed the P. Malakul School medal, a unique amulet created around early 1949 by the Sakon Nakhon provincial education department at Wat Pa Ban Nong Phuea. The medal was distributed as recognition to donors who contributed funds to support education at P. Malakul School in Sakon Nakhon. The amulet features a five-sided bell-shaped design with a loop handle, depicting Buddha in meditation pose on the front. The reverse reads "In commemoration of the P. Malakul School celebration, Sakon Nakhon, B.E. 2492." After Luang Pu Man blessed it, Luang Pu Fuen Acharo of Wat Pa Udom Sompon performed additional consecration, making it exceptionally rare and highly treasured by collectors.
Another notable amulet is the Flicking Water Blessing Bell created by Luang Pho Ngoen of Wat Don Yai Hom in 1962 to raise funds for building a public school at the temple. This floating bell-shaped amulet depicts Buddha in a blessing gesture, with a water bowl beneath the palm, detailed facial features, and mystical yantra inscriptions on the back that bring prosperity to its owner.
The Maha Prab Luang Pu Suk medal was created in 2012 by Phra Racha Suddhisophorn while serving as abbot of Wat Pak Khlong Makham Tao in Chai Nat province. The anchor-shaped amulet features Luang Pu Suk standing with a staff surrounded by a 108-yantra circle, with Khmer script and protective yantras on the back, making it a popular collectible from Chai Nat.
The Luang Pu Hok amulet from Wat Rasat Rueng Suk in Chonburi was created in 2011 to support the construction of a new ordination hall. This bullet-shaped charm displays Buddha in meditation on a lotus, with sacred heart syllables and yantras inscribed on both sides, representing another highly sought-after addition to amulet collections.
