Tao Wessuwan Medal, Chatumaharachika, Double-Sided Pattern, “Muen Yan Phan Phra Khatha” — Wat Chulamanee, B.E. 2561 (2018)

The Tao Wessuwan Medal, Chatumaharachika, Double-Sided Pattern, edition “Muen Yan Phan Phra Khatha” was created by Wat Chulamanee, Bang Chang Subdistrict, Amphawa District, Samut Songkhram Province, in the Buddhist year B.E. 2561 (2018 CE), by Luang Pho Phra Khru Sophitwiriyaphon (Luang Pho Itthi Bhaddacaro), abbot of Wat Chulamanee. Together with it, the “Khatha Maha Mongkhon” yantra-club of Tao Wessuwan was made as a companion.

Appearance of the Medal

This edition is a Tao Wessuwan medal in the Chatumaharachika tradition, made as a “double-sided pattern” — bearing Tao Wessuwan on both the front and the back, one side the giant (yaksha) aspect and the other the deva-prince aspect. The figure and the whole field of the medal are densely packed with yantra syllables and sacred verses, the source of the edition’s name “Muen Yan Phan Phra Khatha” (Ten-Thousand Yantra, Thousand Sacred Verses).

Consecration Rite

The temple opened reservations directly, closing them on Saturday 1 December B.E. 2561, then held the grand Buddhābhiṣeka–Devābhiṣeka rite on Sunday 23 December B.E. 2561. Every item was made only to the number reserved; none were offered after the rite.
