Historical Significance
Issued in BE2541 (1998 CE) at Khao Klang Talat Office, Ratchaburi, this edition by laymaster Ajahn (Archan) Pleng Bunyuen reflects the late-20th-century revival of Ruesi devotion in central Thailand. Consecrated in formal Putthapisek (ritual empowerment), it supported devotees seeking protection, wisdom, and auspicious progress while sustaining Ajahn Pleng’s community works.

Front — pressed powder matrix; visible stratification from mixed Phong Prai and herbal/mineral binders.
Contextual Insight: In Thai material culture, the Ruesi (hermit-sage) icon channels ascetic wisdom (paññā) and protective charisma. Ajahn Pleng’s lineage employs a mixed powder formula (wicha) combining scripture ash, sanctified soils, and Phong Prai, then seals it through mantra cycles to cultivate Klaew Klaad (evasion of danger) and Metta Mahaniyom (loving-kindness/attraction).
Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Although issued from the Khao Klang Talat Office in Ratchaburi, the work follows temple-style discipline: measured proportions, contemplative posture, and restrained detailing. The practice of katha (mantric recitation) and meditative charge under Ajahn Pleng’s guidance anchors the amulet’s devotional function.
