What is the Luang Phor Khun Phra Kring Yod Ket (พระกริ่งยอดเกตุหลวงพ่อคูณ)?
In Thailand "Phra Kring" (พระกริ่ง) refers to amulets in the Medicine Buddha (พระไภษัชยคุรุ) tradition, traditionally associated with health and wellbeing. "Yod Ket" (ยอดเกตุ) is the flame-shaped crown on the Buddha's head; in this batch the flame becomes the whole halo, rising from the lotus base to a tall point, which is why Chinese-speaking collectors call it the "flame Medicine Buddha".
It was issued by Luang Phor Khun Parisuttho (หลวงพ่อคูณ ปริสุทฺโธ) at Wat Ban Rai (วัดบ้านไร่), Nakhon Ratchasima. The association certificate records it as B.E. 2548 in gold-plated metal. According to the supplier, preparation began in B.E. 2542 and the batch left the temple about six years later.
