Description
The beggar Choo Chok is also known (in Pāḷi) as Jujaka; according to the Vessantara Jātaka, Jujaka's wife refused to take care of her husband any longer, so he was forced to find himself some servants who could help him to get his food and water. Thus, Jujaka went to see Prince Vessantara (the previous incarnation of the Buddha) and asked him for his two children. The Prince agreed to Jujaka's request on the condition that he would bring his children to their grandfather, the King Sañjaya. The children did not want to go with the beggar, but eventually they did what they were told by their father, for he said that by performing this deed he would accomplish full awakening.
After Jujaka brought the children to their grandfather, the King rewarded the beggar with a huge amount of money, just as had been foretold by Prince Vessantara. And so, from being a beggar, Choo Chok was able to turn himself into an extremely wealthy man, probably also because of the immense merit he must have accumulated by performing such a noble deed.
Consecration Ceremony
This bag has first been empowered by Luang Por Daeng for nine days and nine nights at Wat Huay Chalong. Then followed the ritual consecration ceremony at Wat Suthat in Bangkok on 27 June in the year B.E. 2551. Many highly revered Thai guru masters, such as LP Kalong (Wat Kaolam), LP Aun (Wat Dhamma Kosok), LP Sompong (Wat Mai Pin Klaew), LP Siri (Wat Than, Nonthaburi province), LP Foo (Wat Bang Samak), and LP Somkid (Wat Nern Sathan), joined this ritual ceremony and bestowed their blessings upon the sacred items that were consecrated during this auspicious event.
The magical skills, or wicha, that Luang Por Daeng applied to this bag involved mer dak ngern mer dak thong (magic of hand catching silver and gold), perd grahmom suam mongkut phra jao kad mongkol sam say, and phra khan chai sri - all of which serve the purpose of increase in the worshipper's financial and material wealth, as well as offering general protection through increase in merit and virtue.
