The temple was blessed again on November 5 , 2565 at Watangken before leaving the temple.
Ajarn Khun Pan had funded the production of some sacred objects during his lifetime. Due to their efficacy, they have become increasingly popular in the Buddhist market. As his own son, he felt that keeping so many of Ajarn Khun Pan's treasures for himself was not enough for his own use. Instead, he decided to donate them to more disciples so that they could benefit from them. Thus, this batch of sacred objects was created.

[Master's Introduction]
Ajarn Khum Phan was the head of the 8th Police District in Thailand and the last civilian to receive an honorary title. He passed away at the age of 108 , having dedicated over 70 years of his life to serving the country and its people. Known for his strong sense of justice and hatred of evil, he was a renowned crime fighter in Thailand and the spiritual leader of Nakhon Si Thammarar in southern Thailand. Besides his work as a crime fighter, Khum Phan was also a scholar well-versed in Thai culture, history, and folklore, and he authored numerous works, including a collection of essays written in fountain pen. Thailand's monarchy began under Ayutthaya and officially ended in 1932. " Khum Phan " is an honorary title bestowed by the King of Thailand, usually reserved for those with outstanding achievements. The title's salutation carries a symbolic ranking, typically representing expertise or accomplishments in a particular field. Therefore, Khum Phan's honorary title, Phantharak Rajadej , is a respectful designation, replacing his original name as a sign of esteem.
Khun Phan was born on February 18 , 2441 BE (Buddhist Era) in Butr Phantharak , the second child in his family. His original name was Khun Phan Thanarara Tseti. From a young age, his father taught him and his brothers basic grammar, indicating that Khun Phan would study Pali at a nearby temple. On his first day of school, the teacher gave him an IQ test. When he handed in his paper, the teacher said, "He'll go straight to second grade tomorrow." The next day, Khun Phan took a second test, and when he handed it in, the teacher again said, "Khun Phan, he'll go straight to third grade tomorrow." This achievement of advancing three grades in three days became a legendary tale, demonstrating Khun Phan's exceptional intelligence. Throughout his primary and secondary school years, Khun Phan consistently ranked at the top of his class and spent his free time studying metaphysics and magic with renowned masters. Later, he became a disciple of the Shaolin Temple in Southern Xinjiang and learned many magical arts from Wat Khao Or, the first temple of magic. He also personally experienced Wat Khao Or, such as being soaked in herbs and holy water, and chanting scriptures for several days and nights. In addition, his master tattooed talismans on his body, which is why he developed the invulnerability of swords and spears, and was even known as the " Iron-skinned Detective " .
Khun Phan entered police academy at the age of 21 , where he also learned various martial arts. After graduating five years later, he became a detective in Phatthalung province. This province was notoriously difficult to deal with, harboring many notorious thieves and a dark area that many police officers dared not tread. But Khun Phan was fearless and chose to challenge the evil forces. In just five years, he successfully apprehended many notorious thieves, including Sang, Phu, Meng, Thong, Yo, and Ling. The state government truthfully reported Khun Phan's achievements to the King of Thailand, who later bestowed upon him the rank of Royal Hat Phetchaburi.
Back when Khun Pan wasn't so famous, he planted two scepters in the center of Hat Yai and Songkhla , changing the feng shui of the entire area. Indeed, Hat Yai and Songkhla, which were not prosperous at the time , became thriving. Any local elder would know this story.
When Khun Pan was 30 , he applied for a year's leave of absence to become a monk at Wat Mahathat . During his year of ordination, Khun Pan diligently studied Buddhist precepts. When he returned to secular life on an auspicious day a year later, many police chiefs came to welcome him . A month after his return, the Special Branch transferred Khun Pan to Naratiwat as a police chief. At that time, the state had a large Muslim population, and Khun Pan learned some Malay after arriving, enabling him to communicate with the people. A notorious thief in the state, backed by political connections and having studied magic, possessed invulnerability to weapons and committed countless atrocities, treating robbery and murder as commonplace, leaving the people living in constant fear.
Upon learning of this, Khun Pan immediately made arrangements. After months of tracking, he finally caught up with the notorious bandit. After a fierce battle, each employing their own methods, the bandit was ultimately defeated by Khun Pan and imprisoned. Shortly afterward, the bandit committed suicide in prison, much to the relief of the residents. Khun Pan later served in several other states, capturing at least a hundred notorious bandits during his tenure—a feat unmatched to this day!
Khun Pan was known as the "Criminal Buster" in Thailand for cracking numerous major crimes and dismantling many large criminal groups. He was promoted to head of the 8th Police District in 2503 and retired in 2507. He later participated in many national activities and served as an advisor. In 2516 , he was elected to the Senate and was a member of the Democrat Party. Khun Pan had 12 children and enjoyed a happy later life. He was healthy and free from illness and passed away peacefully on the 75th day of the 2549th year of his reign at the age of 108 .
Because of his integrity and incorruptibility throughout his life , and his dedication to fighting crime, Khun Pan was deeply loved by the Thai people. He was also a highly accomplished Buddhist monk. After a hundred days of chanting and dedication ceremonies, his cremation was held on February 22, 2550 BE (Buddhist Era). Due to King Rama IX's poor health, a prince was specially dispatched to personally carry the royal cremation to bid farewell to this hero. On the day of Khun Pan's funeral, approximately 300,000 people went to pay their respects. Two days before the ceremony, many people had already flocked to Wat Mahathat Worra Maha Wiharn . The sheer number of people caused severe traffic congestion, forcing police to close major roads and advise people to walk to the funeral home. The scene was so grand that it was truly moving. Originally, the plan was to distribute Jatukam Ramathep amulets, which had been personally blessed by Khun Pan, on the day of the ceremony. However, because the number of attendees far exceeded expectations and many people fainted on the spot, the Jatukam Ramathep amulets were only given to important officials and members of the royal family who attended the funeral. In the end, Khun Pan's funeral was completed under the supervision of the royal family.
Besides his outstanding performance at work, Khun Pan is also highly accomplished in his personal spiritual practice. He has participated in the consecration ceremonies of many amulets, and Jatukam is Khun Pan's most special sacred object. It is extremely helpful for protection and safety, as well as for attracting wealth in business. It is a miraculous amulet that can bring success in anything one desires. The craze for it in Thailand has also spread to neighboring countries, and even Japan has felt its divine power, with NHK News giving it extensive coverage.
