The Pra Kring Pairee Pinaat Pai Rit (Wat Bovornives Voraviharn, Bangkok) stands as one of the most venerated and historically distinguished Buddha amulets in modern Thai Buddhist history. Consecrated in 2557 BE to commemorate the illustrious centenary and noble legacy of His Holiness Somdej Pra Nyanasamvara Suvaddhana (Somdej Pra Sangkaraj Yannasangwon), the 19th Supreme Patriarch of Thailand, this sacred loi ongk statuette carries the full weight of Royal monastic tradition and centuries of protective esoteric lore.
The Royal Lineage of Wat Bovornives Voraviharn
Wat Bovornives Voraviharn (Wat Bowon) occupies a transcendent tier in Siamese Buddhist history. Located within the Phra Nakhon district of Bangkok, Wat Bowon is the premier royal temple of the Dhammayuttika Nikaya order and the historic residence of Thailand’s Supreme Patriarchs. It is also the sovereign sanctuary where Thai monarchs, including King Rama IV (during his extensive monkhood) and His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great (Rama IX), took holy monastic ordination.
His Holiness Somdej Pra Nyanasamvara, who presided over the Thai Sangha for nearly a quarter of a century until his passing at age 100, was renowned across the Buddhist world for his peerless mastery of Vipassana meditation, his profound humility, and his boundless Metta. Every sacred edition cast under his monastic auspices at Wat Bowon is treated by collectors, royalty, and lay devotees as an heirloom of sovereign spiritual merit.
Iconography & Miracle Lore of Pra Pairee Pinaat
The name Pairee Pinaat literally translates to “Destruction of Foes” or “Enemies Vanquished into Nothingness.” The archetype dates back to the reign of King Rama III (Phrabat Somdej Pra Nangklao Chaoyuhua), when an ancient stone Buddha image displaying the gesture of vanquishing Mara was presented to Prince Mongkut (later King Rama IV) while he was residing as abbot at Wat Bowon. Soon after the image arrived at the temple, severe political conspiracies and treacherous intrigues directed against the Prince dissolved completely, with conspirators turning away or self-neutralizing.
In Thai esoteric sorcery (Wicha Saiyasart) and Buddhist iconography, Pra Pairee Pinaat does not promote violence or aggression; rather, it functions as an invincible metaphysical mirror. Any malice, slander, occult hostility, political sabotage, or backbiting directed against the righteous wearer rebounds back upon its originator, leaving the devotee unharmed under a canopy of divine grace (Klaew Klaad).
Alchemical Composition & The Acoustic Kring Bead
This commemorative edition was cast from Nuea Loha Saksit Rom Dam — sacred multi-metal alchemical alloy enriched with ancient temple yantra foils, historical bronze bells, and consecrated monastic metal ingots, treated with a fine blackened satin patina (Rom Dam). Sealed within the hollow lotus pedestal base is an authentic Kring bead (rattle mechanism).
When gently shaken in meditation or prayer, the bead emits an ethereal, high-frequency acoustic chime. In ancient Medicine Buddha (Bhaisajyaguru) traditions, this sacred vibration is understood to awaken celestial guardian spirits, dispel dark psychic miasmas, harmonize personal biorhythms, and carry prayers directly to the ear of the Enlightened Ones.
The Grand Puttapisek Consecration Ceremony (2557 BE)
The consecration ceremony for the Pai Rit Sangkaracha Commemoration Edition brought together an assembly of Thailand’s most revered master monks within the historic Uposatha hall of Wat Bovornives. The rites were presided over by senior monastic luminaries including Pra Thep San Waetii and Pra Ajarn Decha Suritnutho.
Throughout the ceremony, continuous meditative incantations were channeled into the amulets, infusing them with multifaceted blessings:
- Serm Duang & Serm Yos: Uplifting karma, destiny, social status, and professional promotion.
- Klaew Klaad: Evasion of fatal accidents, physical dangers, and catastrophic disruptions.
- Kong Grapan Chadtri: Invulnerability against sharp weapons and physical trauma.
- Metta Maha Niyom: Bestowing an aura of serene loving-kindness that disarms hostile personalities.
- Gae Aathan & Pairee Pinaat: Total neutralization of black magic, curses, jealousy, and treacherous adversaries.
