The Yant Mongkut Phra Buddha Chao is a complex symbol of safeguarding wisdom
This ‘Crown of the Buddha Lord’ offers a profound shield to those who bear it
Central to this design are four Buddhas, each depicted with 3 concentric ovals that symbolize the Buddha’s presence in meditation
On top of these ovals sits an unalome, the spiraled emblem charting the path to enlightenment
The horizontal Buddhas represent the expanse of Buddha’s teachings across the earth, while the vertical figures represent the ascension to spiritual wisdom and connection to the divine
The ovals represent the Trikaya doctrine: the Nirmanakaya (physical form), Sambhogakaya (body of bliss), and Dharmakaya (truth body), reflecting the Buddha’s journey from the mortal coil to the state of Nirvana
The unalome on top of these figures illustrates the intricate journey to spiritual awakening, a path filled with trials, triumphs, and ultimate clarity
“Mongkut Phra Buddha Chao” translates to the Buddha’s crown, signifying the design’s profound protective qualities likened to the sanctity of a royal diadem
This name underscores the Yant’s role as a spiritual protector, warding off all forms of harm and guiding the wearer along a path of enlightenment
Yant Mongkut Phra Buddha Chao is intricately crafted with multiple elements, each chosen for their protective properties:
- KongKrapan Chatri: This aspect of the Yant is a protection against sharp objects and gunfire, a testament to the design’s profound history of warrior protection.
- Maha Ud (The Great Blocker): Symbolizing a shield against all physical harm, this component is a testament to the Yant’s overarching power.
- Klaew Klaad: This element embodies the ability to sidestep misfortune, ensuring the wearer is safeguarded from life’s unexpected calamities.
- Evil Spirits and Black Magic: Beyond the physical, the Yant serves as a deterrent against evil forces, setting up a spiritual barricade against dark energies and mystical harm.
The central circle of the Yant, intersected by lines to form a grid of squares, points to the universe’s ordered nature and the safeguarding of the five cardinal directions by the Buddha
This central design is encircled by twelve additional boxes, representing an all-encompassing protective force in every region of lifeThe Protective Aura of the Directional Buddhas
Encircling this central core are four more Buddhas facing horizontally towards it, each one a beacon of protection from all directions
These figures, too, depicted with the three ovals, serve as a constant reminder of the Buddha’s wisdom and the all-enveloping protective energies they bestow
