Phra Somdej RatSaMee (Ray of Light) Roon Reak “พระสมเด็จรัศมี รุ่นแรก”. B.E 2503-08 (1960-65)

This amulet was consecrated for a period of about 5 years between B.E 2503 to 2508 (1960 to 1965) in Wat Lahairai, Rayong, together with Luang Phu Thim.  It was during the period when Luang Phor Sakorn, was still a devoted student of Luang Phor Thim, spent his rain retreats in Wat Lahairai. However, it should be noted that this Somdej is widely recorded to be made in B.E 2503 (1960). Copyright ZapMonster Amulet Tale zapmonster.blogspot.com.

In the year B.E 2508 (1965) when Luang Phor Sakorn moved to Wat Nong Grap to become the temple abbot, he then asked Luang Phu Thim permission to distribute this batch of Somdej in Wat Nong Grap instead to raise fund for the rebuilt of burnt temple courtyard in Wat Nong Grap.

As there was no record of this Somdej was made but it was believed that a limited number of Phra Somdel RatSaMee was made as it is not easy to find in the current market.  The material of this amulet is Neua Din mixed with ashes of the burnt Bilan and Neua Din (earth). Copyright ZapMonster Amulet Tale zapmonster.blogspot.com. This amulet was moulded using stone mould from Luang Phu Thim, as the rays are featured with sharp clear edges. The back of the amulet is smooth with Luang Phor Sakorn hand-written Yant Phra Jao Ha Phra Ohng Namo Phuthaya Ma AWu. As we know, during the later years, he hardly had the opportunity to scribe yant on amulets.

This "Phra Somdej Rasami Roon Reak" is rare and was mentioned in the temple publication that a very small unknown numbers being made and consecrated. Collectors should be conscious and aware of the mould details, material content due to aging and lastly Luang Phor’s handwriting. Copyright ZapMonster Amulet Tale zapmonster.blogspot.com.
