Phra Archan Waen Dhammarakkhito Wat Pa Pracha Samakkee Dham, Lup Subdistrict, Mueang District, Kalasin Province. (Ngern Lai Ma Edition)
The Kuman Thong "Ngern Lai Ma" (Wealth Flowing) by Phra Archan Waen Dhammarakkhito—the highly powerful guru monk of Kalasin Province—is meticulously cast from sacred metals.
Sacred Materials & Sorcery Elements.
The base metal was created by melting down highly potent and mystical sorcery materials (Muan Sarn Athan), including:
- Coffin nails (Tapu Tok Long Phee)
- Dead man’s mouth coins (Hian Pak Phee)
- Mortuary pry bars (Lek Ngat Phee)
- Cremation grates (Takrang Phao Phee)
- 14 inscribed Yant Na Pathamang Maha Kamnoet sheets
- Sacred Conception Yant sheets
- 108 auspicious Yant Na Maha Mongkhon sheets
- Universal elemental Yant sheets used to establish, support, and refine the core spiritual elements (Tang That, Ngun That, Chup That)
- Yant Thawittingsa Akarasut sheets (governing the 32 physical attributes)
- Yant Panchakhan sheets (governing the 5 skandhas/aggregates), among various other sacred inscriptions.
All of these mystical metals were completely smelted and merged together to forge the unique form of this Kuman Thong.
Symbolic Appearance & Meaning.
The Kuman Thong is depicted in a dynamic, forward-stepping posture, standing on his tiptoes. His right hand holds a money bag, and his left hand holds a wish-fulfilling crystal gem (Kaew Saraphat Nuek). This precise iconography carries deep spiritual meanings:
- The Stepping Posture: Represents moving forward continuously in life without ever stopping, stepping forward with unwavering stability and confidence.
- The Money Bag: Signifies freedom from financial hardship; ensuring money and gold flow continuously into your possession (Ngun Lai Nong, Thong Lai Ma).
- The Wish-Fulfilling Gem: Grants the keeper the power to achieve whatever their heart desires with complete success.
Following the casting process, Phra Archan Waen performed a rigorous consecration ritual by establishing, supporting, and empowering the spiritual elements. He invoked the 5 Aggregates (Khan 5) and the 32 physical attributes (Akarn 32), giving the Kuman Thong an active, lifelike spiritual presence. This batch was officially entered into a grand Buddha Phisek Consecration Ceremony on Saturday, January 15, 2011 (2554 BE).
Noble Purpose.
Proceeds from this batch were entirely dedicated to supporting the fundraising efforts for the construction of the Meditation Hall (Sala Patibat Dham) at Wat Pa Pracha Samakkee Dham.
