Main obverse — pentagonal Pim Haliam Yai in sacred clay (Nur Din) with Buddhajayanti context.
Historical Significance
Issued in BE2500 (1957) at Wat Sakae, Ayutthaya, this Buddhajayanti edition reflects nationwide devotional renewal and temple-strengthening efforts. Consecrated in Putthapisek (empowerment rite) led by Luang Pu Du Phrompanyo with Ayutthaya Sangha participation, it supported community protection and merit-making during the 2,500th Year of Buddhism commemorations.

Front view obverse detail — Wat Sakae mold rhythm; crisp canopy and tiered base typical of early casts.
Contextual Insight: Within the Ayutthaya tradition, wicha (esoteric know-how) for Khun Paen emphasizes metta (loving-kindness aura), klaew klaad (danger-aversion), and steady fortune. LP Du’s discipline prioritised mindfulness recitations and meditative absorption (samādhi) during prolonged placement before the principal Buddha.
Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Sakae is associated with strict Vipassanā training and calm, orderly ritual. The resident master LP Du guided devotees to recollect “Buddhaṃ saraṇaṃ gacchāmi” daily, aligning conduct with the amulet’s field. The practice of Putthapisek (“Buddha-empowerment”) here followed multi-stage chanting and silent absorption, reflected in the amulet’s poised proportions and sober surfaces.
