Sacred Powder Votive Tablet of the Great Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri of Wat Rakang Kositaram Anusorn, released in the 'Anusorn 118 Pi' Memorial Edition, at Wat Rakang Kositaram in 2533 BE.

This incredibly detailed sacred powder image of the Great Guru Master Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri is in pristine condition and an extremely rare item in the present day, made from Sacred Powders of Wat rakang, which always contain a certain amount of the original Pra Somdej Wat rakang amulets of Somdej Dto, as well as ground up amulets of previous editions, Gesorn Pollens, and the 5 Yantra Powders of Bpathamang, Ittijae, Puttakun, Trinisinghae, and Maharaj powders.

This exhibit is well laden with 'Nam Man Tang Iw' oil, rendering a yellowish and shiny surface texture to the hardened Muan Sarn. Its medium size makes it not only a nice amulet for men, but is also a highly recommended amulet for ladies or even children.

The rear face has the traditional stamp from the Temple of Wat rakang Kositaram on the back for authenticity. The Muan Sarn Sacred Powders are evidently rich as is expected from Wat Rakang Somdejs.

The 3.2 x 2.4 Cm Votive Tablet is an eminent member of the classic Anusorn 118 Pi Edition of Wat rakang Kositaram, which is one of the most important historical editions of the Post 2500 BE Era. The amulet is extremely finely detailed in the resemblance of the Great Master, for Bucha to Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri Wat Rakang Kositaram. The statuette measures 3.2 x 2.4 Cm.

This exhibit is unusual that it was one of the lucky few to receive hand inscriptions of Khom Agkhara as additional blessing. This occurs when a devotee receives an amulet and beseeches one of the monks to inscribe and bless it, which many devotees like to do, either when attending a blessing ceremony, or even when they visit the temple to make merits. It is a very common practice for a devotee to place his amulets on a tray to give to the monk to bless and hand back.

The Ceremony of the 118th Anniversary Edition was initiated by Somdej Prayan Sangworn Pra Sangarach Head Monk of Wat Bovorn and the Thai Sangha, with his Holiness performing the Lighting of the Victory Candle of the Buddha Abhiseka Chanting Ceremony (Dhamma Chakra), which is the Ritual of the Opening of the Eyes of the Buddha Image.

The Ceremony was performed on the 22nd of May, with his Holiness Prayan Sangworn Sangarach sitting in 'Nang Prok' Meditation to Emanate Metta within the Uposatha Shrine Room of Wat Rakang Kositaram , and a total of 89 Great master Monks from around the country present to assist in the empowerment, including Luang Phu Tim of Wat Pra Khaw, Luang Por Chaem, of Wat Don Yai Horm, Luang Por Kloi of Wat Tham Khao Ngern in Chumporn, Luang Por Pae of Wat Pikul Tong, Luang Por Bprueang, of Wat Hiranyaram, Luang Por Phern, of Wat Bang Pra in Nakorn Pathom, and many others.

This amulet is not only sought out as an object of personal reverence to Somdej Dto, but is also very popular to purchase as a gift to ones employers, or peers in Business, or as a gift to valued Family members, because it is accepted as a special classic edition amulet in expert circles. Its sacred value is renowned, and can be found on show in many specialist publications.

The Purpose of this edition was to assist the Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri Foundation to restore the Sala Bprian edifice which was built in the Ayuttaya Kingdom Era, bringing it back to its original condition, and to improve the Public Facilities within the enclave of the temple.

This edition also served to raise the funds available within the Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri Foundation to enable it to keep up with its projects as was originally planned when the Foundation was formed. In addition, funds were needed to build a public utilities hall (Sala Anek Prasongk - Multi-Purpose Building), to use for the various needs of Buddhism, be it for visitors to rest in, hold Dhamma Sermons, or other purposes.

For these purposes, the permission to create this 118th Anniversary Edition was given by the Gammagarn Comittee of Wat Rakang Kositaram and 89 great Kanajarn Guru Master Monks were invited to perform Nang Prok Empowerment over the amulets, with some very great Monks present for this now Historic and Classic Edition;
