Luang Phor Toh  B.E.2518 amulets

Wat Praduchimplee requested that Wat Mai Amataros create a series of Luang Phor Toh amulets, which were composed of  different Pims (style) as followings:

Actually tis series was first created in B.E.2517, but Luang Phor Toh had spent another year to recite his sacred spells as such this series of amulets was called “Luang Phor Toh ’s B.E.2518 amulets”.

At the time, Wat Praduchimplee had no monks, who specialized in selecting the raw materials and Luang Phor Toh was too old himself, a result of which Luang Phor Toh had assigned Prakru Virojkittikun, one of his disciples, to ask Wat Mai Amataros to create these amulets for his temple.

Anyway, the raw materials from Wat Mai Amataros were accepted to be of acceptable quality as one might expect. The materials were composed of many sacred pollens, oils and shells, etc.

At a later date, Prakru Virojkittikun was to learn the secret recipes from Wat Mai Amataros, and  begun to create the new series of amulets at Wat Praduchimplee in B.E.2519, this series was called “Pra Somdej Yuen India B.E.2519”.

Details of the four Pims

1. Pra Somdej ’s Pim of Prok Pho Oke-Rong (5 Trimas)

Totally 33,000 pieces of this Pim were created. Originally the populace was not that much interested in this amulet  believing that they were too similar to those of Wat Mai Amataros amulets.

Therefore Luang Phor Toh retained all the amulets and again recited more sacred spells for the amulets until the day he  passed away in B.E.2524. these amulets had incredibly been recited for 5 years and of course now very much in demand and when released for a second time were sold up immediately.

Many hundreds of these amulets were also given to high-level officials by Somdej Pra Yanasangworn, Thailand’s King of Monks, and aspected the  officials were delighted to own sucha precious amulet due to the fame of  Luang Phor Toh.

2. Pra Somdej ’s Pim of Samliam Khatoh

3,000 pieces of this Pim were created, some of them were made of sacred pollens and some were made of sacred Bailan leaves,

(Note: Bailan is a species of Thai tree, in the olden days their leaves were usually used to record Lord Buddha’s Dharma and sacred spells.)

In B.E.2519, when Prakru Virojkittikun begun himself to create amulets in Wat Praduchimplee an additional 5,000 pieces of this Pim were created but this time all the amulets were also embedded with Takruts.

3. Phra Pong Pim Junlo

This Pim was 1.8-c.m.diameter, and was sub-divided into two groups as followings:

3.1. Around 5,000 pieces of this group were created. The edges of the amulets were smooth and bend.

3.2. Around 25,000 pieces were created, for this group the edges of the amulets were sharper than the first group.

4. Prapidta’s Pim of Metta Maha Saneh
