Sacred Alms bowl blessed by Luang Phor Pae in BE 2538. Ideal for making sacred water.
Significance of the Phra Kring amulet on top of alms bowl
According to academic studies and evidence it is generally believed that the Phra Kring amulet originated in China. This is known from old Mahayan manuscripts and the literary work of Krom Phrayadamrongrajanuphap.
The Chinese Phra kring essentially featured the Buddha in the Marawichai posture. His left hand held Indra’s weapon (wachirawut), some held a sacred water pot or terminalia fruit, sat on a face-down/face-up lotus, fairly close to each other and without the typical divider (bua lang bia)
According to the history of the Sanskrit Sutra translated in Chinese around the 10th century of the Buddhist era The Phra Kring amulet was originally named ‘Phaisachayakuru’ a Buddha image popular with the Mahayan sect and closely associated with remedial water and medicines. It was highly revered for its ability to protect and prevent illness.
An example of the original use can be seen in the sacred water bowls of the Marble Temple in Thailand, (Wat Bowornniveswiharn) although that example is a later Khmer Kring known as Phra Kring Pathum or Kring Yai. It is known that these originated from Khmer as a number of similar amulets were discovered at an historical site, buried in the ground, just outside of Phnom Phen, both yellow and black variants.
There have been many different types of Phra Kring including Chinese, Tibetan, Laotian, Khmer and Thai. It is, as you can imagine, fairly difficult to determine exactly when the first Phra Kring were made in Thailand but a number of Scholars have suggested different dates but the Sukhothai period is the most probable.
The Ayutthaya era was the most famous period in Thai history because it is known at that time Phra Panarat of Pa Kaew Temple created Phra Kring amulets for Somdej Narasuan, the Great to wear on his hat in battle against the Burmese and the Crown Prince of Myanmar (Phra Maha Uparat). After the hat was named ‘Mala Bieng’ and is kept in the National Museum along with the Bronze Krings.
During the reign of king Rama 3rd Somdej Phranangklaochaoyuhua also depended on the scriptures of Somdej Phra Panarat to create and mould a Phra Kring amulet in the Royal palace and was consequently named, Phra Kring Wang Na
Later King Rama 4th twice had Phra Kring amulets created, including the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the amulet being known as Phra Kring Suan Tao.
Today in Thailand the most famous Phra Kring amulets are known to come from Wat Suthat and are called Phra Kring Pawares or Phra Kring of the Patriarch Pae.
Again the Buddha in Marawichai posture with left hand on Indra’s weapon sat on a face-down/face-up, seven petal lotus. Usually the back of the amulet is smooth without lotus petals.
These were first created by Patriarch Pae in 1898 until the final Phra Kring amulet created in 1941 a special batch featuring a three layer parasol carved on the back, now exceptionally rare and highly prized by collectors. The design of the amulets from this temple were heavily influenced by the Khmer Kring.
Since that date and particularly during the Indochina War and World War 2 the production of Pra Kring amulets has increased substantially
There are many different ways to create holy water that is suitable for both bathing and drinking, but this method is by far the easiest.
1.Place 7 fragrant flowers into the water
2.Repeat “Dtang Na Moh” three times
3. Repeat this katha 3 times:
