Archan Pleang Bunyuen • Surin Province • 59-herb Prai powder matrix
Main obverse — compact herbal-powder sphere with matte Prai texture.
Historical Significance
Issued in BE 2541 (1998 CE) within Surin’s lay-master tradition, this Loop Om reflects the regional Surin–Isan lineage of wicha (esoteric disciplines). Consecrated in focused Putthapisek (ritual empowerment) by Archan Pleang Bunyuen, the batch served devotees seeking metta mahaniyom (social goodwill), maha saneh (attraction), and protective blessings.

Contextual Insight: The “59 Ton” refers to a reputed blend of wahn (sacred herbs) curated by Archan Pleang. In Surin’s lay-adept circles, Prai-based matrices are prepared under ethical rites and sealed with mantric cycles, a signature of this lineage’s wicha.
Origin & Master’s Discipline
Surin Province is noted for herbal praxis and Prai-related formulae. Archan Pleang’s discipline emphasizes concentrated samadhi (meditative absorption) during empowerment and precise herb selection. The guiding principle of metta-barami (“field of loving-kindness merit”) shapes the batch’s intended function for social harmony and attraction.
