Known as Phra Khun Paen Somprathana, meaning "Wish-Fulfilling Khun Paen", this special edition was officially consecrated during a grand Buddhist blessing ceremony held inside the temple's main ordination hall (Ubosot) on 4 September 2022 (B.E. 2565). This edition stands out for its extensive selection of sacred powder compositions, traditional materials, distinctive yantra designs and multiple production variations. The collection includes special inaugural editions, teacher-homage editions, committee editions, VIP distributions, limited-colour versions and several variations incorporating different Somdej sacred powder mixtures. Sacred Ingredients and Traditional Craftsmanship One of the most interesting features of the Phra Khun Paen Somprathana edition is its extensive use of traditional sacred powders (Muan San), prepared using materials associated with the heritage of Thai Buddhist amulet-making. The sacred ingredients associated with this edition include: - Ancient sacred powder from Wat Rakhang. - Prai Kumarn powder associated with Luang Pu Tim of Wat Lahan Rai. - Sacred powders collected from more than 1,000 revered Buddhist masters. - Ancient gold lacquer powder collected from historical Buddha statues. - Special sacred gold lacquer powder associated with Chao Phraya Bodindecha, incorporated into the Jomphon Ek edition. The combination of these traditional ingredients, different powder formulations, metallic yantra sheets and decorative finishes gives this edition considerable variety and appeal among collectors interested in contemporary Thai amulets. About Phra Ajarn Adirek Anuttaro Phra Ajarn Adirek Anuttaro is a respected contemporary Buddhist monk from Suphan Buri, known for his dedication to preserving traditional Thai amulet-making techniques and local Buddhist craftsmanship. He is particularly recognised for his involvement in designing and carving traditional amulet moulds, preparing sacred materials and maintaining traditional Buddhist consecration practices. His creations reflect an appreciation of traditional craftsmanship, sacred ingredients and the cultural heritage of Suphan Buri's amulet-making traditions. Traditional Buddhist Beliefs and Significance The name Somprathana represents wishes, aspirations and the fulfilment of one's heartfelt intentions. Within traditional Thai Buddhist amulet beliefs, Khun Paen amulets are particularly associated with the following qualities: - Metta Mahaniyom – loving-kindness, goodwill, popularity and favourable relationships. - Maha Sanaeh – personal charm, attraction and admiration. - Business and Trade – favourable opportunities, customer relationships and commercial prosperity. - Career Advancement – professional progress, recognition and supportive connections. - Klaew Klaad – traditionally associated with protection from danger and misfortune. These traditional beliefs form part of the cultural significance and longstanding popularity of Khun Paen amulets among Thai collectors and devotees. Purpose of Creation – Supporting Temple Construction Beyond its distinctive materials and craftsmanship, this edition also carries an important charitable purpose. Proceeds from the production were dedicated towards the construction of a large seated Buddha statue in the meditation posture, known as Phra Chao Yai Ong Luang Pu Samathi, with an impressive 108-inch lap width at Wat Nong Sai. This gives the edition an additional historical and religious significance, connecting its production with a temple-sponsored Buddhist construction project. According to the official production list, this edition comprises 23 main production categories
