Por Sala Tan

Deity / Master

This Phra Sangkachai originates from a Cambodian-influenced casting tradition and was connected to Por Sala Tan’s travels in Ubon Ratchathani, a border region long regarded as the meeting point of Lao, Isan, and Khmer spiritual lineages. During his visits to chant with Cambodian Lersi masters, Por Sala Tan often exchanged amulets and ritual items as tokens of lineage respect. This Sangkachai was one such piece — a gift symbolizing the unity of merit, wisdom, and the shared understanding between cross-border practitioners of wiccha and meditation.

Historical Background

The Phra Sangkachai form has long been revered across Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia as a representation of wisdom and abundance. It embodies the enlightened disciple Sangkachai Maha Thera, known for his deep understanding of Dharma and the virtue of contentment. In Cambodian and Isan wiccha traditions, such images are often made using sacred recycled alloy from broken Buddha statues and temple relics — a practice that ensures no sanctified material is ever discarded.

This particular batch was cast using the lost-wax method, an ancient Khmer technique allowing for organic texture and spiritual preservation. Por Sala Tan collected these sacred castings during his time in Ubon and would later distribute them to his close students who cultivated meditation or sought blessings of wealth and stability through the path of merit rather than spirit-based influence.

Blessings and Effects

The blessings of this Phra Sangkachai center around metta, wealth, contentment, and inner wisdom. It channels the tranquil joy of an enlightened disciple who sees through desire, transforming that clarity into steady prosperity and peace.
For spiritual practitioners, it enhances composure and mindfulness in meditation — enabling smoother progression into insight states.
For lay devotees, it serves as a magnet for wealth, attracting steady financial flow, trustworthy partnerships, and favorable outcomes through clarity and good-heartedness. Many who kept such pieces found themselves blessed with improved communication, social warmth, and the ability to maintain stability during uncertain periods of life or business.

Materials

The amulet was forged from recycled sacred bronze and temple alloys, derived from damaged Buddha statues and ritual implements once enshrined in pagodas. These metals retained the accumulated baramee of countless prayers. The lost-wax casting method gives each piece a distinct aged texture and spiritual depth, carrying both the physical trace of ancient metallurgy and the metaphysical essence of continuous merit.

Usage in Modern Life

The Phra Sangkachai is ideal for individuals pursuing wealth and peace through diligence and positive intention. Whether kept on a working desk or worn close to the body, its energy enhances mental stability, prosperity attraction, and compassionate interaction — qualities that naturally draw opportunity. For those in leadership, trade, or teaching, it brings balanced charisma and wisdom in decision-making. In meditation, it helps sustain a joyful state of awareness — the heart of Sangkachai’s Dharma, where inner fulfillment leads to outer success.
