This rare Phra Phong Pang Om Baht (พระพุทธปางอุ้มบาตร) amulet depicts the Wednesday Morning Standing Buddha holding an alms bowl, a symbol of peace, compassion, and detachment. This mudra corresponds to Wednesday morning according to the tradition of the Buddhas of the Days, and promotes the virtues of sharing, temperance, and humility.
This piece was dedicated at Wat Palakrad (วัดปาละกรัณย์) in Phitsanuloke Province in the early 1980s by the highly venerated Phra Ajarn Sarmlit (พระอาจารย์สรมนิตย์), a respected master of Wat Thamfad (Kanchanaburi). This visionary monk is reputed to have been THE great master of the Lek Lai, to have lived for decades as a hermit in the jungle and to have maintained deep connections with the spirits of wild animals.
The reverse features a sacred rhinoceros , Phra Ajarn Sarmlit's emblematic animal, representing grounded wisdom, calm power, and the ability to traverse invisible obstacles. This unusual engraving pays homage to the mystical bond between the master and this rare being, seen as the guardian of the liminal zones between the human and spirit worlds.
Amulet of high spiritual vibration , it will be particularly suitable for those who wish to strengthen their inner discipline, protect their path, or connect with the peaceful force of the incarnate Dharma.

🕯️ In the deep forests, an awakened master held out his empty bowl to the invisible every morning. It is said that one day, it was neither a human nor an animal, but a rhinoceros spirit that approached, placing a jungle flower in the cup. Since then, this bond has been sealed, and the master dedicated these amulets to the silent memory of this sacred offering. The wearer is never alone: an invisible guardian accompanies him.
