Delve into History, Seema Coin, 25 Buddhists, Overlooked Good Buddha

In the popular circle of Thai amulets and materials, if it mentions the greatest ritual amulet in Thai history, the name of "25 Buddhists," often called "25 Buddhists," must always be raised to the top, but in the midst of the popularity of the Shin and clay prints, the top of the amulet like "conjure prints" is like a white elephant in a concrete forest that many people unfortunately overlook, despite the historical cost and the high Buddha.

Back in 1957, Thailand entered Buddhism, which, according to Buddhist beliefs, was a pivotal moment when Buddhism arrived halfway from a life expectancy of 5,000 years. The government in Thailand, led by Marshal Pibul, the Prime Minister, decided to hold a grand national Buddhist celebration.

The creation of 25 Buddhists was not by a group of merchants or an amulet association, but by a "25 Buddha Century Celebration Committee" with the Ministry of the Interior at its core. The purpose was to raise money from people across the country to build the "Buddha" in Nakhon Pathom as the center of Buddhism in the world and to raise important places throughout the kingdom.

The 25 Buddha-century medallion marks a new dimension of Thai Buddhist art in the 1957 era that broke free from the ancient framework of art into the semi-contemporary era.

On the front of the coin, the Buddhist statue of Pang Lila stands on a lotus base. He is soft in the form of Sukhothai art, which is a replica of "Si Sakya, the president of the Buddhist province of Sukhothai," the president of the Buddha province, designed by Professor Art Pirasri, the father of contemporary Thai art. He is surrounded by a sharp bird-shaped frame.

On the back of the coin is the Talisman, "The Five Gods" (Nam Mo Put Tha Ya), an ancient talisman with a Buddha panacea, with the Thai alphabet clearly stating "The Feast of 25 Buddhists."

The greatness that made the 25-Buddha Medal have a "million-digit" Buddha at the coronation ceremony, which was held at the rectory of the Superior Temple for three days and three nights (between May 9 and 11, 1957).

Before the ceremony began, the committee sent gold, silver, and copper plates to the Gynecks throughout the country to write talismanic characters and pray, and then fused them into mass slate. There is a historical record of some of the Gynecks' talismants thrown into the metal crucible, so that they had to perform a ceremony to summon the Master. The metals were melted together.

On the day of the ceremony, 108 of the great faculty of the era were enchanted, praying and sitting dirty, and today these faculty are all legendary levels that can no longer be gathered.

- Luang Grandpa Table, Wat Du Chomp Lee

- Father, measure the outside window.

- Father Silver Wat Don Grandma Fragrant

- Luang Pha Tae, three-pronged temple

- Your father resembles a temple.

- Luang Phi Lee, Ahsokaram Temple

For this reason, in the old age, it is said: "If there is no capital to rent to His Majesty or to survive expensive, carry with you 25 Buddhists. Buddha and compassion are no different."

Today, the 25 Buddha coins (especially alpaca and copper) still have a value price in the amulet market of only the hundreds to the early thousands, due to the large number of structures in the past, which are still circulating in the system, but considering the "old age" beyond half a century, the pure "creation intent" for Buddhism, and the greatest "ritual," this amulet is considered a good god that is lower than its true value, suitable for both historical study and true worship.
