Jīvaka, also known as Jīvaka Komārabhacca in Pali and Jīvaka Kaumārabhṛtya in Sanskrit, was a renowned physician in ancient India. He was born during the time of Gautama Buddha and is considered one of the most famous physicians of that era. Jīvaka's life and teachings are primarily recorded in the Buddhist scriptures, particularly in the Vinaya Pitaka and various Jātaka tales.
The Ruesi Chiwok amulet features the image of Phu Ruesi Hmor Chiwok Jivaka Gomarapacca, seated on an elevated platform seated in the Bhumispara Mudra of subduing Mara (ignorance) calling witness to earth (elements of Ayurvedic Natural Medicines), steadfastness (imperturbability).
Jivaka became a very well renowned physician who treated many important people including kings and other royalty, but most importantly Jivaka was sought out through the Buddha Sakyamuni’s Divine Eye to be his personal physician. Jivaka realizing the benefit of giving alms and venerating the Triple Gem, had a monastery built on his grounds where Jivaka himself attained to the first stage of Arahantship (Sotapanna). Sometime later the Great King Ajatasattu was lead to the Buddha by Jivaka and through right understanding and effort became a devotee of the Buddha Dhamma and was responsible for establishing the first Buddhist Council after The Buddha’s Maha Parinibanna.
Key points about Jīvaka: Life and Background: Jīvaka was the son of a courtesan named Sālāvati and was raised in the city of Rājagaha (present-day Rajgir in Bihar, India). According to the Buddhist texts, his father's identity remains uncertain.
Association with Gautama Buddha: Jīvaka had a close connection with Gautama Buddha and was considered his personal physician. It is said that he treated the Buddha and his monastic community, including prominent disciples, for various ailments and injuries.
Medical Expertise: Jīvaka was highly skilled in medicine and had an extensive knowledge of traditional Indian medicine, which included herbal remedies, surgical techniques, and other therapeutic practices. He was particularly known for his expertise in surgery.
Establishment of Hospitals: Jīvaka is credited with establishing hospitals in ancient India, making him one of the earliest proponents of organized medical care. He founded a famous hospital in Rājagaha known as the Jīvaka's Mango Grove, which provided medical services to people regardless of their social status or ability to pay.
Jātaka Tales: Jīvaka is also mentioned in several Jātaka tales, which are stories recounting the Buddha's past lives. These tales highlight Jīvaka's virtuous qualities, medical expertise, and his interactions with the Buddha in previous lives.
Generosity and Compassion: Jīvaka was known for his compassion and generosity towards both human beings and animals. He would often treat and provide medical care to the poor and needy free of charge. His acts of kindness and philanthropy earned him a great reputation during his time. Ethical Practices: Jīvaka was committed to ethical medical practices and is considered an early advocate for patient welfare and medical ethics. He emphasized the importance of compassion, honesty, and moral conduct in the practice of medicine. It is important to remember, that while the accounts of Jīvaka's life are found in the Buddhist scriptures, some details may have been subject to embellishment or mythologizing over time. Nevertheless, Jīvaka remains an influential figure in the history of medicine and serves as a symbol of compassion and ethical medical practice in Buddhist traditions.
In Thailand, Jīvaka Komārabhacca is revered as a prominent figure in traditional medicine and is often associated with amulets, statues, and sacred textiles. Thai culture has a long-standing tradition of incorporating spiritual beliefs, magical practices, and protective talismans into their religious and daily lives. Here are some details about Thailand's version of the Jīvaka story and the use of his image for worship:
Amulets and Statues: In Thailand, amulets and statues depicting Jīvaka are popular among Buddhists and collectors. These artifacts often portray Jīvaka in his traditional physician attire, holding medical tools, or engaged in healing activities. People believe that wearing or carrying these amulets can provide protection, promote good health, and ward off negative influences.

Sacred Textiles and Yantra Design: Yantra is a form of sacred geometry or mystical diagram that holds spiritual significance in Thai Buddhism. The image of Jīvaka, along with associated magical spells and symbols, is sometimes incorporated into Yantra designs. These designs can be found on linen cloths known as pha yant, which are considered sacred and used for various purposes, including protection, blessings, and healing.
Magical Spells and Incantations: The image of Jīvaka, when used in amulets, statues, or textiles, is often accompanied by magical spells or incantations. These spells are believed to imbue the object with specific powers and blessings, enhancing its protective or healing properties. The recitation of these spells may also be part of worship or rituals involving Jīvaka's image.
Belief in Healing and Protection: Many Thai people hold a strong belief in the healing and protective qualities associated with Jīvaka. They may seek solace, guidance, or assistance from Jīvaka's image when facing health issues, physical ailments, or other challenges. It is believed that Jīvaka's presence and blessings can bring about positive outcomes and aid in the process of healing.
Devotional Practices: Devotees often pay homage to Jīvaka by making offerings at shrines or temples dedicated to him. These offerings may include flowers, incense, candles, and fruits. People may also engage in meditation, prayer, or recitation of mantras as a way to connect with Jīvaka's healing energy and seek his blessings.

This 2553 edition received a very Intensive and Important Empowerment Ceremony which was well documented by all major News Agencies, and despite having been an edition made knowing there was worldwide national interest, and hence rtelatively large numbers made, this edition is still now depleted and a classic edition from a classic era (2545 - 2555), where Thai Amulets and their makers were in a grand heyday of the odern Amulet scene, that many of you who are old enough to remember, was a time when there were many great masters of great recognition, who, are still with us (many of them), but who have withdrawn more in recent years, since the post 2555 BE advent of increase in Lay Master amulets and speculative investor made editions drowning out the presence of true Geji Ajarns with modern internet marketing, and causing authentic amulets to be buried by adverts for fakes on Lazada or Ebay..
