Phra Kring 1st Batch - Luang Phor Kalong
Luang Phor Kalong had initiated the construction of a principal monastery on the top of the mountain around Khao Laem Temple. After a number of years the temple had not yet been completed and progress was slow. This was causing him great concern and he was constantly worried due to the length of time taking to finish the project.
One night, whilst meditating after prayer, he saw a Brahma (high-level angel). The angel was described as wearing a white dress with a complexion that was brilliant gold with a sparkling aura. His right hand held a walking stick. He said his name was “Tao Mahaprom Chinapanchara”.
He had come to help contribute towards the completion of the monastery. Suddenly, he opened his left hand to reveal a Buddhist amulet with an image image similar to that of Phra Kring. The angel said “if you create such an amulet, I will help you.”
The day after, the Reverend shared the story of his vision with Noi, his disciple. Luang Phor Kalong immediately hired a skilled artisan, with knowledge of smelting and the creation of amulets who began the design of the new amulet according to his wishes.
Unbelievably, the artisan created an identical mould to the image Luang Phor Kalong had seen in his vision. He was very satisfied and was full of the desire to create the best amulet that he had ever made in his entire life.
Luang Phor Kalong researched the creation of Phra Kring amulets in great depth, referring to all the sacred documents of Wat Suthat and in particular took advice from Luang Phor Sonth.It took him years to prepare for the creation of this amulet. For example he had to collect and prepare 1008 magic letters consisting of every magic drawing in every scripture of his masters.
He also had to source the minerals according to the scripture of Nine Metals – Chin, Chaonamngern (blue metal), melting metal, pure metal, sublimated mercury, zinc, bronze, silver, and gold. The scarcest and the most important mineral was Chaonamngern. This can only be found in deep forests. It has often been mistaken for antimony (Pluang) or “Petchnathang” or “Platinum” (white gold).
Each of these metals and minerals have their own unique characteristics that provide important design elements in the overall composition and construction of the Phra Kring amulet. The Chaonamngern mineral for example provides special powers being able to absorb telepathy and virtuous aura. The Chaonamngern mineral used in this Phra K and weighed more than 2 kilograms.
The bronze used in the amulet was over 700 years old having originated from a sunken vessel in the sea at Chantaburi.
Moreover, the Reverend Kalong added several holy minerals into the amulets, for instance, black mercury from Laos, Nampy steel from Prasaeng pond in Utaradit province, Bangpai mineral from Bangkulad Canal, Koh Larn mineral, Khao Prom Cha Ngae mineral, prime ingredients of Pra Kring from Suthat Temple, prime ingredients of ancient amulets from The Marble Temple, prime ingredient of amulets from The Temple of the Dawn, prime ingredients of Luang Phor Kasem’s Phra Kring in Lampang, and prime ingredients of ancient Phra Kring from more than 300 senior masters including of his tiny rolled metal amulets created since 1957. These takruts were made from from lead found under a Khmer castle in Cambodia and were known to be particularly powerful.
