Full Moon Wax (Year 2022) by Luang Por Than Chao Khun Chamnan

 

Each batch of Luang Por Chamnan’s magic wax has been accompanied by remarkable and auspicious phenomena, signs interpreted by many as spiritual affirmations of the magic wax’s power. For instance, a majestic bird once appeared and perched at the temple. This was no ordinary bird, many saw it as a manifestation of the Celestial Swan (Hongsa), a royal divine being in Thai-Buddhist cosmology. The presence of such a bird was taken as a sign that the magic wax had summoned the Celestial Swan, a symbol of heavenly royalty and divine acknowledgment. On another occasion, the small bell hanging from the mouth of the swan statue at the front of the temple rang three times in three clear tones, interpreted as the call of the Celestial Swan itself. Birds were also seen flying in from all directions, circling the temple, as if drawn by a mysterious force, or as if the magic wax’s power made the temple an irresistible spiritual magnet. Beyond these, there have been numerous other strange and unexplainable events surrounding the making of the magic wax, phenomena that continue to deepen the mystery and sacredness of Luang Por Chamnan’s creation.
