Lp moon , wat baan jaan, srisaket province

Miracle monk that lived till 109 years old

Born on 15 April B.E. 2437 at Baan Jaan district, Srisaket province to farmer parents. He was a novice monk at the age of 14 and practiced Buddhism under the guidance of Phra Acharn Sida, the abbot of Wat Baan Jaan before ordaining as a monk in B.E. 2460 at the age of 23.

In his life time of monkhood, Luangpu Moon traveled extensively around the region as well as neighboring countries for his forest-dwelling (Tudong) seeking great gurus who can teach him
more on Dharma and Magical practices.

He spent more than 50 years meeting many great gurus and inherited the skill of making sacred powder (Phong Itijie, Phong Puttakun, Phong Trini Singhe, Phong Patamung and Phong Maha Raj)
Especially from Phra Acharn Si Chantasiri, who was from the same linage of Somdej Phra Puttajan Toh, Wat Rakang temple. This five sacred powders were important ingredients for making effective amulets. Luangpu Moon also learned making of alloy-based amulets from Somdej Phra Sangkaraj Pae and Mitmor (Magical Knife) from Luangpu Kam and Luangpu Ngen, both teachers of Luangpor Derm Wat Nong Poh.

Below are a list of masters whom Luangpu Moon had met and learned from:

Phra Acharn Sida (preceptor)
Luangpu Mun Boritato
Luangpu Wen Suchino Wat Doi Mae Phang
Somdej Sangaraj Pae Wat Suthat
Luangpu Nak Wat Arun
Acharn Tim Wat Chianghai
Luangpu Kron Wat Bangsek (tok rajah)
Por than Klai Wat Suankan
Acharn Singh Wat Pa Sarawan
Luangpor Jak Wat Bangabao
Luangpu Kam Wat Kao Kaew (teacher of Luangpor Derm Wat Nong Poh)
Luangpor Ngen Wat Mak Plangluang (teacher of Luangpor Derm Wat Nong Poh)
Luangpor Son Wat Seangsang
Luangpor Kuay Wat Kositaram

besides the above mentioned gurus, Luangpu Moon also excelled in a very high level of wicha Akom
(magical skill) from Luangpu Dam and Luangpu Maha Peng Wat Lam Duan both are highly respected deciples of The Great Somdej Ron of Nakorn Champasak, Laos.

Amulets created by Luangpu Moon were very effective and highly sought-after by followers. Phra Luangta Maha Bua of Wat Ban tard temple once said to those who are seeking good and effective amulets to go to Luangpu Moon.

Luangpu Moon returned to Wat Baan Jaan temple in B.E. 2520 and passed away in his hut on the 11 March B.E. 2546 @0730am at the age of 109 years and 86 years with the monkhood

Ajarn Loy - The Ultimate Master of Hun Payong


Long waiting to blog this. But no time to pen down this great master.

1. Top 10 krung Rang in the whole Thailand
2. Featured in most Krung Rang books including "Art of Siam"
3. Frequently referred to as the top and only real master of HPY maker

Who else? Not Ajarn Pee, Not Ajarn Cheong. Ajarn Loy. I am sure not many people heard about this master name unless you are really into Krung Rang collection. One of the key reason is the HPY made by him is just too rare in the market.

He made 300 HPY from 2500 to 2528. All hand made. And master passed away at the age of 74 in 2528. And this was distributed to only disciples and relatives. Not for public. What left now, probably less than 100. And those who owned it, probably will never let go as soon, it will go into museum.

Biography of Ajarn Loy:
Ajarn Loy was born in 2454 at northern thailand, Ayuthya. He become monk at the age of 20 years old ordained by lp phan of Wat saotong. After that he learned various wicha from different masters. One of the legendary masters LP Bien of Wat pongmi has taught Ajarn Loy the old way of making HPY. And at 2495, he become ajarn and went back to his home town to help villagers in curing black magic, resolving problems etc. Lots of devotees came to see him and he became a legendary master back then. 

Among all amulets made, the most famous is Hun Payong. Master use special straw to make it into human shape, mix with special formulated powder, pollen and under unique weather condition etc before tying it and chant. His hun payong is known as the top HPY in thailand due to the many efficacy. All this was recorded in thai amulet books. All HPY made has individual spirit (not spirit from human that passed on, but spirit form by nature, wind, earth,water, fire. that makes it so special.

And what is the purpose of HPY? Is this evil? It looks like black magic to me initially. But it is not. The purpose of HPY is to act as a replacement. Help wearer to block away danger, evil spirit, accident and black magic. And if you put it at home and pray, it helps you to look after your house, children. It helps to grow your business too. 

There are incident that a rich goldsmith in Thai owning a piece os Ajarn Loy HPY, whenever he goes lunch/dinner, even if he is alone, waiter always bring him double set. and also when he was away on holiday, neighbour said there is always someone at home. They don't even know that he is away.

This is just one of the many incidents recorded.

There are 4 type of Ajarn Loy HPY:

1. Pim lek: 1.5-2cm. Round head or semi-round
2. Pim Khlang: 2-2.5cm. Semi round head shape.
3. Pim Yai: 2.5-4cm. flat head.
4. Big HPY for altar: 10-20 cm. Round head. Super rare.

LP Phrom of Wat Chong Kae

 Recently get to know more about LP Phrom of Wat Chong kae and started to learn more and more. i don't understand why his amulet is so expensive until recently i met with a few collectors from Thailand and all with a lot of good testimonials to share on his amulets. On how a fisherman become millionaire and how someone who caught with an accident but escaped with no damage to his body.

These are the reasons why his amulets are growing in popularity and prices over the years:
- Very effective. proven with lots of testimonials
- A highly powerful monk that focus on meditation and psychic power.
- All amulets are produced in small quantity and chanted by him with special incantation method.

Biography:
LP Phrom was born in April 20, 2427 in Ayuthya. He was ordained since 2447 and set out for pilgrimage to various forest areas at Myanmar and Cambodia for the purpose of attaining peacefulness through meditation for many years. LP Phrom has once said "There are many monks who set out on pilgrimage and died from attack of wild animals or that of forest devils because they lacked high level psychic power for self protection. And during his pilgrimage, he chanted "itipiso" verse of 8 directions to the extend of creating an image of powerful glass wall which protected him from harmful attack of all wild animals and devils.

The incantation of LP Phrom amulets are also different from other monks. He will hold the amulets with both hands and direct his strong psychic power towards the amulets with open eyes. And he used to say that whoever possesses psychic power can detect aurora emit from his buddha amulets.

Many years after master passed on, miracles happened. His body remained un-decomposed. In fact, his hair, nail and beard grew longer and longer till today. Disciples got to cut and tidy up his body every few months. And his body was kept in a glass coffin at Wat Chong Kae for displayed and admiration of the public.

There are 4 popular classes of LP Phrom's amulets:
i. 2512 bell code rooplor; only 400 made. and LP Phrom performed incantation for the longest period of 3 months. 4th ranking of top 5 popular holding amulets in Thailand. Very expensive.

ii. This batch roop with LP Phrom finger pointing upwards, brass material. 2507. Made 600 pieces.

iii. Rein , first batch copper, 2507. 3000 pieces were made.

iv. 2512 Somdej Faa Pa. The green color piece only 200 pieces were made. The reason for its names "Faa Pa" or "Thunderbolt" is because the wearer of this amulets by the name of Mr. Sompong was stroked by thunderbolt but he was harmless even though his clothes were all burned up. This incident was reported in news and spread on to the entire village.




Effect of LP Phrom's Amulets: Prevent/avoid accident, promote safety, protect against weapons and enriching prosperity and luck.

Some info on Somdej Wat Ket ChaiYoh

Phra somdej wat ket chaiyoh were made by Somdej Putarjarn Toh Promarangsri in 2409 (150+ years ago). From the record book of Phra yathip Kosa by Phra Dharm Thavorn (a novice monk that helped Somdej Toh in making this batch of somdej in 2409), 2 main form were made; 7 tier base and 6 tier base. All these para somdej were made and kept in base of big buddha statue of Wat ket chaiyoh in order to extend merit to his mother named "ket" and his grandfather "Chai". 

There are many pims created. But the more popular and widely recognised by Thai experts are only few:

i. 7 tiers popular mold
ii. 6 tiers full chest mold
iii. 6 tiers groove chest mold

Material used for phra somdej ket chaiyoh is similar to Somdej Wat rakhang. But more firm, compact and look like marble. This is the characteristic. and it has traces of sand paper rubbing at all 4 sides as well as the back of somdej. So, this differentiates Somdej Wat ket with Somdej WRK/BKP.

And in terms of price, Wat ket is still within reach for most highend collectors. In the range of SGD10k up to 35k. Whereas a piece of Somdej WRK, it costs anything between 2 mil THB to 20 mil THB.

Effect of Somdej Wat Ket: Enhance personal power, increase charm and loving kindness, prevent / avoid accident, promote safety and to make sacred holy water for treating various terminal illnesses.

Some thoughts!

Half year has passed and i have progressed so much in amulets collection. Few years back, it is only in my dream to own a benjapakee somdej. The price has gone up to a point which is too far fetch for me.

But amulet has helped me in many aspects. Especially my career and work. So much difference with the right support and boss. i am doing work that i nvr imagine possible in 2013. I can afford much higher-end amulets now and get to connect with all the amulets big bosses in Thailand behind the scene.

In just 3-4 months time, i collected 2 Wat Ket Somdej, 3 khunphen long phim and kayasart, numerous others lp thuats and LP Boon amulets. And many others. Of course, spent a fortune on all these amulets as well.

As an expert friend once told me, in order to learn how to authenticate, i have to see the real piece. and see it frequent enough until it just grow into you. Now i realise, how true it is. It is hard to learn by seeing books and pictures. Without really seeing the real piece. I understand now. And i live by it now. Also those learning i shared in my previous blogs are so much valid. Time tested and still firmly practised.

This year is a great year to collect "blue chip" amulets :) Price either stagnant or drops. Newbies rushing in to buy new amulets with beautiful design...haha....so, demand of "blue chip" amulet drops a little. So, this creates opportunity for me to collect at great prices.

My next aim will be LPT 2505 Pim A.

Champ of Champ - 2540 lpt Ajarn Nong Wat Sai kaw Pim Kamakan

2540 batch is getting very hot n popular now. I already have pim yai, pim phra rod n pim khlang. With this, i have completed full set of 2540 collection.

What i shared is really original and untouched. Unworn too. Still in original skin and colour. 

There are few batches that worth to collect n thus is certainly one of them. Not only it contains lots of 2497 wahn, it has takrut of ajarn nong n it was made in small qty. From my information, pim kamakan with silver takrur only made 800 pieces. Gold takrut 200 pieces. Total made 1000 for pim kamakan. Also, this batch has gone through big chanting ceremony. It was also the third last batch made by Ajarn Nong before he passed away. So, very worth to collect.

Btw, not many ppl know that 2540 kring is also very expensive n hard to find.

Prices has gone up a lot now for this batch as most collector dont want to let go. Same for 2536 batch. So hard to find n so expensive nowadays.

Enjoy while i still have it :)

Rare: Somdej Luang Phu Parn (Wat Kusalord)

Super rare to find. Wat kusalord porcupine. Commonly seen are roosters n fish n garuda but for porcupine it is hard to come by.

Not many people heard of what kusalord. Until recently. But many people heard about LP Parn of Wat Ban num kho from Ayuthya. I have written a lot about LP Parn in my previous post as he is one of my most respected monks who has helped me in many occasions. Until now, i am still chanting his katha and felt great about it.

Wat kusalord batch was made by lp parn too in 2460. Chanted by him and disciple n mixed with the wicha powder usually put on top in small quantity. But for those pieces that happened to mixed with a lot of wicha powder, the material is usually harder , greyish green and has different texture than other Wat kusalord. That separates the price point. Usual Wat Kusalord is only few thousand THB but this type of material can go up to 25000 thb. Quite expensive but considering this history and also origin of the amulet, it is much cheaper than a real Mc-Coy Wat ban num kho lp parn.

Lp parn somdej is well known in the world n cost up to 600000 thb for top pim n condition. So for ppl that just want to experience lp parn amulet, this is a good choice.

What is shown is a top condition, top form wat kusalord somdej porcupine. Hard to find..

Some friend asked me , why this looks like fish? but i said it is a porcupine? Ya, not typo, it is really a porcupine :)

Enjoy!
