Sai Pradoo (School of Pradoo) - LP Glan, Ajarn Heng, LP Sie, LP Doo

Sai Pradoo is well known for wicha Saiyasart for a long time. Originate from pre-war master LP Glan (Wat Phayat, Ayuthya). LP Glan used to win over other master guru in meditation and concentration competition which made him well known and last time any monk that were keen to learn Wicha saiyasart would have to go to Sai Pradoo.

Many people know about Wat sakae due to its phra phrom. But not many know that Wat Sakae has the lineage from Sai pradoo. Wat Sakae is known in thailand for its Phrom. A top famous master for this is Ajarn Heng, a senior disciple of LP Glan, Wat phayat, Ayuthya.

In 2480s, Ajarn Heng designed the first 3-dimensioned , 4 faced buddha on a 2 dimensional platform. And it is an instant hit with many guru monk today still following this design.

LP Sie and Ajarn Heng had the same master, which was LP Glan. Both learned Wicha under this great guru. LP Sie was junior to Ajarn Heng and later on learned the making of 4-face buddha under Ajarn Heng. In fact, most of Ajarn Heng's phrom which cost > 500k THB now was jarned by LP Sie. And LP Sie was in most ceremony helping out with the making and consecration ceremony. After Ajarn Heng passed away in 2503, LP Sie took over and produced phrom in similar design and also other design currently famous. Refer to my other post on LP Sie's phrom.

LP Doo of Wat Sakae is another master monk of Phra Phrom. He used to be a wicha saiyasart practitioner before fully into Dhamma and meditation. Master is well-known for phrom making using olden days Ajarn heng method and also pert loke which many claims to be effective as he is one of the the rare one that can communicate with LP Thuat directly.

Phra Phrom LP Doo Nur Pasom

Sharing another piece of LP Doo, Wat Saket popular phra phrom.

LP Doo is from the lineage of AC Heng and LP Si that made the most expensive phra phrom in Thailand. The ngern metal stamp cost 100,000 thai baht. This phra phrom made by lp doo, in 2522 is of great condition. With jarn written by lp doo clearly seen on surface of the back of amulet. Not all metal phra phrom have "mee" code on the side. without code it costs only 17000 baht. but this one has code. No code one are not made by lp Doo. But other temple pass to him for giving to devotees. This piece the code is deep n clear.

For nur pasom, the more yellow it is, means more brass and thus it will be more expensive. if more red, means more copper. thus price lower. if copper only, price only 25000 baht.Total phra phrom metal made 10,000 pieces. there are copper, mix (nur pasom) and brass. Copper cheaper and brass most expensive.

Enjoy!

LP Sri Phra Phrom Ngern (Sor Sae Wee) Pim Na Yai 2524

Sharing a piece of highly sought after Phra Phrom Sor Sae Wee from LP Sri of Wat Saket.

LP Sri is the top student of Ajarn Heng that are famous for making the most expensive phra phrom rein in Thailand. His Phra Phrom Rein is ranked top ten rein most of the time costing 400,000-700,000 THB. And 80% of Ajarn Heng Phrom was jarned by LP Sri if you compare the jarn behind the phra.

LP Sri learned the sacred art of making phra phrom since young with Ajarn Heng and had acquired the skill long. He was entrusted by Ajarn Heng to hand write jarn together with him during amulet casting and eventually he made his own phra phrom using the same method his master use.

Many different pim was made. but the most famous one apart from the egg shape phrom 2512, are the Sor Sae Wee Big face or Small face. What I have shared is Phrom Sor Sae Wee pim na yai (Big face mold) 2524 with original skin and condition. Jarn is unique and hand written by LP Sri himself. It looks very different from LP Doo Phrom. Qty made is only 400 for big face. And for small face, 2-300. Limited supply causes LP Sri Phrom to increase in price for the past 5 years.

Phra Phrom is very good for wisdom enhancement, protection and intuition for decision making. And plenty of good feedback from collectors of phra phrom of efficacy of those made by LP Sri and it is definitely a good replacement of Ajarn Heng's one if one can't afford the heft price tag of the top phrom made by Him

Enjoy!

Katha for LP Sri (Wat Sakae) Phra Phrom

Sharing a pretty rare Katha from LP Sri of Wat Sakae. LP Sri made 4 face Phra Phrom Stamp following his master foot step. His master , Ajarn Heng made the world most expensive Phra Prom rein costing anywhere between 300,000-700,000 THB. It is constantly ranked top ten rein in Thailand.

LP Sri learned the sacred way of making phra phrom from his master and that made his phra prom rein equally effective and powerful as commented by collectors and devotees alike.

As usual, any katha before you chant, clean your mouth, calm your mind and body, focus your mind to the rein and chant....

LP Doo (Wat Saket) Phra Phrom Nur Phong

Sharing this piece of nice LP Doo Phra Phrom Nur Phong. Make from powder and secred powder mixed together in 2519.


The original intention of making Phra Phrom nur phong is really for LP Doo's disciple or followers. It is not for sale. LP Doo gave to his students who meditate with him. Many people then make use of LP Doo's amulet especially powder type to put in their hand while meditation .This helps them to progress further, calm their mind and help them to concentrate while meditating.
There is also a story why LP Doo make this style of phra phrom with a buddha on top of the head.

Buddha wanted to teach Phra Phrom a lesson. He hide himself in Phra Phrom hair. Phra Phrom cannot find buddha even he use all his power. Buddha asked him to just look within himself and eventually he found buddha hiding in his hair. This story is repeated printed and told in many important buddhist scripture/book. LP Doo's student use this amulet for Buddhanusati (always think about buddha and his teaching) they put in their hand and pray.

The one shown above is of good quality and it is rarely found one in the market with many dharma-tarts on surface So much so that the face features can't be seen clearly. But it is really nice to see this under scope. and the back of the amulet resembles other powder type amulets made by LP Doo. So, it is "Doo ngai ngai" :)

Enjoy!
