Yant Maha Chinabanchorn (The Victor's Armour Mandala)
A diagrammatic mandala mapping the spatial placement of the 28 past Buddhas, the Triple Gem, and the eight principal Arahant disciples around the practitioner as recited in Somdej Toh's Jinapanjara Gatha.
Structured as a concentric square and octagonal fortress (Panjara = cage/armour). The crown (Top) seats the 28 Buddhas and Ananda/Rahula; the eyes, ears, and chest seat Sariputta, Moggallana, Kondanna, Kassapa, Upali, Anuruddha, and Sobhita; and the eight outer directional gates seat the Paritta suttas (Ratana, Metta, Khandha, Mora, Dhajagga, Atanatiya, Angulimala, Bojjhanga).
Translates the verbal architecture of the 15-stanza Jinapanjara (Chinabanchorn) Pali chant into a visual blueprint engraved on silver/copper Yant plates poured into the molten Nawa Loha alloy of Phra Kring Chinabanchorn (such as Luang Pu Tim's BE 2517 issue) and printed on temple Phayant cloths.
