Luang Phor Parn - Part 2 (Making of LP Parn Somdej)

LP Parn widely known to have made three batches of Somdej.

The Pim Bolan or ancient models were created between B.E. 2450-2451. They were made using materials gathered by the local villagers and the moulds were created by a local artisan. It was said that the numbers of amulets made during this time were very few. Due to it high efficiency on life protection, metta-mahaniyom and luck, the amulets were in great demand. Soon they were all being distributed out.

Materials of amulets were

1) Magical-Herbs,


2) Pollen,


3) Holy Powder from past gurus,


4) The set of five great powders (Phong puttakhun, itichy, tri-singhe, maharaj, potamang) which Luangpor made during Buddhist lent. These were also the main ingredient in famous amulets made by great gurus such as:- Somdej Puttakjan Toh Wat Rakang, Somdej Pilan Wat Rakang and Luangpu Pu Wat In.

5) Phong Wiset or special formulated holy powder of Luangpor Parn

The Pim Niyom or popular model was created from B.E. 2460 onwards as the demand for the amulets grew. They were made by baked clay of several components (pebbles, shell, sand etc) and newly created moulds which were much more beautiful then the earlier ones. Many more moulds were also created for the six different holy creatures.

The methods of making Phra Luangpor Parn amulets of this batch were different from others. It consisted of powders from his earlier batch of amulets, various kinds of clays collected from paddy fields which required digging deeply into the ground in oder to collect the finer earthen-clay by the lay followers of Luangpor Parn. The clays were then grinded into powdery form and made into tough pastures and then into smaller loaves before being pressed into the moulds to form the amulets. A hole was made at the top of each individual piece of the amulets for inserting the phong wiset. After which, Luangpor Parn placed the amulets into iron bowls and baking them under the fire which was started by burning the paddy husks. Finally when the amulets were all dry up under the fire, Luangpor would insert the phong wiset into the hole on the amulets and sealed them up with cement mixture.

After the completion on making the amulets, an altar with various kinds of foods such as, roasted pig head, red and white sweet cookies and many mores was erected by the lay followers for thanks-giving to the Devadas.

Luangpor Parn blessed the amulets for a total of three months, every night when he went back to his kuti (quarter), where he would sit in meditation and invited all the past Buddhas, Brahman Gods, Devadas, past great gurus to assemble as one, to give merits to the amulets. He later explained that the invitation process was to enhance the powder of the amulets bringing them to the highest level of effectiveness. However, Luangpor Parn also emphasized that those who carry his amulets must not do bad things or else the amulets with not work as it should.


Wiset Hua Jai Sak

The Phong Wiset Hua Jai Sak or powders of the holy creature’s hearts were created by Luangpor Parn personally. It consisted of six set of powders for each individual holy creature. This type of holy powder was extremely difficult to make as it required full concentration while making it. Luangpor Parn was the only one at that time who was able to make such powders. He had to chant mantra and at the same time “contain” the spell into the powders with full concentration all by himself in the ordination hall. Luangpor Parn had to go without food for seven days and nights in order to complete the making of the said holy powders. Luangpor Parn also used the mantra of Yant Kropetch in process. During this time, many black-magicians or witch-doctors had tried to disrupt the process by sending out black-magic but they were unsuccessful as Luanghpor Parn had earlier chanted and placed four bowls of holy water in the ordination hall as a form of shield protecting the ritual. People in the temple would occasionally heard strange sound coming from where Luangpor Parn was and later told by him that it was the black magic being destroyed and dropping in the four bowls of holy water. As such, the phong wiset had the effect to counter black magic.


Making Holy Water

Luangpor Parn amulets can be used for making holy water as well. Joss-sticks, candles and a bowl of clean water are all you need. Firstly, hold the amulet on your palm with a calm mind and have full faith in the power of Luangpor Parn. After which, chant the mantra 3 times and at the same time light the candle and drip the wax into the bowl of water. When it’s all done, blow 3 times into the bowl of water and make a wish for the holy water to be blessed with what you wish for and remove the amulets.
