This amulet of the Walking Buddha is released by Luang Phor (LP Tud), at Wat Han Kok Chang temple in Songkhla Province. During the Sukhothai era, Buddha images were created in the main four postures: Sitting, Standing, Walking and Reclining. The symbolizes dispelling of fear, protection and reassurance. For the image of Buddha with Right Hand Raised means “Stopping the Sandalwood Image” The creation of a walking Buddha image is a distinctive feature of Thai art in the thirteenth century. Walking images of the Buddha continue to be made in Thailand to this day. The Walking Buddha image with the left hand raised and the other hand resting at the side is known as the attitude of restraining the chronicle of the Sandalwood Buddha image not to rise from its seat.

This is how the story goes. When the Lord Buddha paid a visit to his mother for three months on Tavatimsa heaven, the king named Pasentikosol, having a sandalwood carved meditation Buddha image which was placed in the house where the Lord Buddha used to stay. The king requested the Lord Buddha to have a look at the sandalwood image, as soon as the Buddha entered, the statue stood up to come and pay homage to the living Buddha. Lord Buddha urged the image not to rise from its seat by lifting his left hand in the gesture of restraining, with the gesture of Remain Seated. Signifies grace and internal beauty, and in Thai, it's known as Phra Leela (Walking Buddha). The Walking Buddha is an innovation in presenting the Lord Buddha, with his left hand raised facing outward, and right-hand dangles along the right side of the body.

Walking Buddha with right hand raised, walking back and forth, which emphasized his earthly aspect of walking among the peoples. Buddha is depicted in mid-stride, his right foot forward, and right hand in a gesture of Imparting Fearlessness, a hand gesture where the right hand is held upright with the palm facing outward, and left-hand dangles along the left side of the body. This posture is said to be the "pacification" posture, it reminds of an anecdote from the historical Buddha life. One day, There were two families in the village had a very violent altercation with another family arguing about how to divide the water of the Rohini river to irrigate rice fields. The Buddha managed to convince them that human life was more precious than mere water avoided a violent fight and restored peace.

Disclaimer: Buddha images are not intended to be naturalistic representations of what Buddha looked like. There are no contemporary images of him. But Buddhists believe that Buddha images represent an ideal reality of the Buddha, and that every Buddha image stands at the end of a succession of images.
