Thao Wessuwan - Gesture Seven
“Vessuvan shaya ratanakara” (Auras of the Emanation of Lord Buddha)
In this divine gesture, Thao Wessuwan radiates a divine aura that permeates all corners of the 3 realms of existence. “Ratanagara” represents the luminous emanation of Lord Buddha. It is Lord Buddha’s “sphere of light,” a bright, gleaming aura known as the “Shuppanna Rangsi” that emanates outward from his holiness in a vivid and beautiful spectrum of six colors. This divine “Shuppanna Rangsi” aura touches and blesses all those who hold the “Ratanagara” in their possession.
In this “Vessuvan shaya ratanakara” gesture, as Thao Wesuwan emits the glimmering “Shuppanna Rangsi” it forms a ring of light, seen as a dome of glass that envelopes his holiness. It is the aura that radiates Lord Buddha’s most noble qualities of supreme perfection.
In the term “Ratanagara,” (RA-ta-na) means “glass” and (ga-RA) means dome, thus “Ratanagara” is the heavenly “dome of glass” from which the 6-color spectrum of “Shuppanna Rangsi” radiates from his holiness.
This essence of this “Vessuvan shaya ratanakara” gesture thus holds extraordinary significance, as it is here that the representation of his holiness symbolizes the Lord Buddha’s ultimate attainment of enlightenment, as witnessed by the heavenly auras radiating throughout all realms of existence. In seeking an all-embracing physical well-being and spiritual growth, one may chant and recite the following “Ratagara” mantra:
Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Samma Sambudhassa (repeat 3 times)
Vessuvanno Shaya ra ta na kha ra pa bha so
Sang vi tha pu ka ya pa
I ti pi so Bhakava Ya ma ra ja no Thao Vessuvanno
Maranang sukhang a hang sukhatoh Namo Buddhaya
“Offering my utmost respect toward his esteemed holiness, Lord Buddha, may the divine aura of the enlightenment of “Ratanagara” bestow upon me the brilliant lights of “Ra ta na kha,” to bless and fulfill me in every way, as granted within the 7 scriptures of the Adhidhamma Pitaka, the “Basket of Higher Doctrine.” With this gift, may I ultimately be liberated from all suffering, “Buddha ma ar u nee tern.”

Thao Wessuwan - Gesture Five
“Cha roen suk” (Eternal Happiness Through Spiritual Liberation)

Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Samma Sambudhassa (repeat 3 times)

Thao Vessuwanno Chutayu Pawang Sappha

“pu” from “Pukkala banyat” – Fourth Scripture
