The Luang Phor Ngern 2515 (1972) batch of sacred amulets from Wat Bangklan was created to raise funds for the repair and restoration of deteriorating temple structures. At that time, Wat Bangklan required significant resources to maintain and improve its sacred buildings. The committee therefore organized a grand consecration of amulets under the name of Luang Phor Ngern, one of the most revered figures of the temple, ensuring that both the purpose and the blessings carried great spiritual weight.

The Grand Consecration Ceremonies

The consecration of this batch was considered both magnificent and highly auspicious, being performed directly at the temple of Luang Phor Ngern. To have amulets blessed in the Ubosot (ordination hall) of Wat Bangklan was understood as seeking permission and empowerment directly from Luang Phor Ngern himself.

The ceremonies were conducted in three major stages:

1. First Consecration (Initial Ritual)

   • Conducted at Wat Suthat, Bangkok.

   • Sacred copper and brass sheets, inscribed with yantra and mantras by famous monks nationwide, were melted down to form the metal for the amulets.

   • 74 senior monks from across Thailand performed the ritual blessing of these metals.

2. Second Consecration

   • Held again at Wat Suthat, Bangkok, on Sunday, December 5, 1971.

   • The completed amulets, after being cast, were empowered by 127 renowned monks from all over the country.

3. Final Consecration at Wat Bangklan

   • The last and most important ceremony took place on Sunday, January 30, 1972, at Wat Bangklan itself.

   • A total of 96 monks were invited, divided into six groups of 16 monks, chanting in shifts throughout the night without rest from 4:00 PM until 6:00 AM the following morning.

   • The rituals included chanting of Maha Thep Mantra, Phutthaphisek katha, and Pahnawaran katha—traditional invocations of great power.

   • On Monday morning, January 31, 1972, the consecration concluded with a grand celebration before amulets were distributed to devotees.

Extraordinary Phenomena

During the final ceremony at Wat Bangklan, the Ubosot was still incomplete, lacking even a finished roof. Remarkably, a lunar eclipse (Rahu swallowing the moon) occurred on that very night, accompanied by other unusual events. These omens further heightened the belief in the sacred power of the 2515 batch, adding to its mystique and reputation. Unsurprisingly, the amulets were fully reserved and distributed quickly, with demand continuing to grow until today.

Range of Amulets Produced

The 2515 batch included a wide variety of forms and designs, many of which have since become classics in the Thai amulet world:

• Rian Lor Pump (stamped mini-statues) – Pim Kor L (curved-neck type), Pim Mue Jut (dot-hand type), Pim Mue Nub Baeng (money-counting hand type).

• Medals (Rian) –

  • Luang Phor Ngern with reverse of LP Ploeng (former abbot of Wat Bangklan).

  • Luang Phor Ngern with reverse of Prince Chumphon (Admiral of the Royal Thai Navy).

  • Job Lek (small spade-shaped medals).

  • Job Yai (large spade-shaped medals).

  • Rian Khwan Thung (money-bag coin amulets).

• Powder Amulets (Phra Phong) – Many additional forms in sacred powder were also made, each carrying their own appeal.

Every form from this batch has enjoyed continuous high popularity and respect among collectors and devotees, with prices steadily increasing over time.

The Living Power of Prince Chumphon

A unique highlight of the 2515 batch is the medal featuring Prince Chumphon on the reverse. Prince Chumphon, widely honored as the “Father of the Thai Navy,” was not only a statesman and military leader but also a devoted practitioner of wicha. He was a direct disciple of LP Suk of Wat Makham Tao, and is considered one of the legendary “Three Greats” alongside LP Ngern and LP Song.

I was personally introduced to the power of Prince Chumphon through a meeting with a luksit of LP Pinut, who was able to demonstrate living wicha—making objects move to show the unseen forces at work. He explained that one of his core wicha practices was inherited directly from Prince Chumphon. From that point, I came to understand that Prince Chumphon’s image on the 2515 medal is not merely symbolic—it is alive. Many devotees attest that the medal responds to prayers with real blessings, particularly for wealth, protection, and wish-fulfillment.

This living essence of Prince Chumphon, embedded within the 2515 batch, has become one of the key reasons for the enduring demand and reverence of this series.

In Summary

The Luang Phor Ngern 2515 (1972) batch remains one of the most sacred and historically important productions from Wat Bangklan. Consecrated in three grand ceremonies by some of the greatest monks of the era, and marked by cosmic phenomena, it carries unmatched spiritual weight. With LP Ngern’s blessings, combined with the living essence of Prince Chumphon’s wicha lineage, this series is rightly regarded as one of the most powerful and collectible amulet sets in modern Thai history.
