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.

Lp tae khun phen - second batch 2503

Lp tae,  wat Sam ngan I think no need to introduce.  Too famous since many years ago. I heard of his big name when I wad a primary school kid.

He is the father of kuman thong. The first to use phong plaikuman in the making of kumanthong and khun phen. N his takrut is also ranked among the top 5 in Thai consistently.

I have written a bio about this great n compassion master. Refer to that fir details.

Today after some cleaning, notice I have not post and share about these great piece. So...

This one shown is his second batch khumphen made in early 2500. It was baked clay mixed with soil from 7 graveyard, 7 garden and 7 holy places. Also mixed with large amount of phong plai kuman.

Someone ask me if this is considered a barang. I would say depends on your definition. To me, the material used doesn't define amulet to be barang. Rather the way it was made and the cause of making it. For l.p. tae khumphen or kumanthong, the way it was made is different from barang nowadays and the main purpose is really to help the soul to gather merit by helping ppl n thereby get reincarnated faster n better. Very similar way as what l.p. tim of wat lahanrai did.

Thete are two colours shown. The red one is quite easily found. 40,000 made. N the black colour one is really rare. May b 100 made. I have not seen another black one after mine. So, price also different.

Why this is good for collectors:
1. Made by father of kumanthong. L.p. tae khunphen is ranked top 5 khunphen in Thailand in the same league as bang krang and lp Tim.

2. L.p. tae kuman now fetch 5 figure easily in sgd.  His takrut also cost more than s$2k easily. N this 2nd batch is only couple of hundreds. Very affordable n value for money.

3. It was mixed with phong plai kuman.  The next kp mixed with plaikuman in the same league cost 5 figures now in SGD.

Enjoy..I have yet to find out where did I keep his takrut. Will share once I find it.
