Luang Por Raks (or ‘Luang Por Luck’) of Wat Sutawat Vipassana.
Luang Por Raks is one of the Current Eras most important creators of amulets, whose presence is seen incredibly often on Puttapisek Blessing ceremonies around the country. He is seen empowering both his own many ranges of Buddhist amulets, as well as often being seen present as an honored member of other empowerment ceremonies for other temples.
He is known for his Buddhanussati amulets which are remembrances of the Buddha, and of the Buddhist faith, as well as his powerful takruts.
Luang Por Raks is responsible for making one of the Modern Eras most important New Era Luang Phu Tuad amulet editions, which was empowered by monks who entered the ocean where LP Tuad is supposed to have turned seawater into freshwater by wading, and askinf for the Power of Luang Por Tuad to enter the amulets and protect the wearers. These Nakprok Buddhas are yet another immensely important and powerful Buddhist amulet which in future generations will most certainly be regarded as a classic in itself. Amulets like this are not subject to falling from favor, being pure Buddhist and Eternally meaningful, whatever the Era.
Luang Por Raks was fortunate and meritorious enough to have received many Wicha from a large number of the Great Masters of our Time, and the Previous Generation, including having received the Hlek Jarn (inscription tool for Magic) from each Master hwho bestowed Wicha upon him, including;

Many masters rely solely on the powers of Deities and Elementals who are called upon with Incantations, to empower amulets, but Luang Por Raks, is a Master who believes in the Power of the Mind itself to emit psychic abilities. When Incantation and applied Psychic Power are used in conjunction, one can consider the result to be a truly well empowered amulet.
