Historical Significance
Issued in BE2500 (1957) at Wat Sakae, Ayutthaya, this Buddhajayanti edition reflects a nationwide wave of merit-making and temple-strengthening during the 2,500th Year of Buddhism commemorations. The consecration followed Putthapisek (Buddha-empowerment rites) led by Luang Pu Du Phrompanyo with Sangha participation, and is remembered by devotees as a batch intended to support community protection, steadiness, and wholesome renewal.
Front view obverse detail — Wat Sakae mold rhythm; crisp canopy and tiered base typical of early casts.
Contextual Insight: Within the Ayutthaya tradition, Khun Paen wicha is often discussed through three practical outcomes: metta (a kinder, more supportive aura), klaew klaad (averting danger), and steady fortune. LP Du’s approach is remembered for discipline — mindful recollection and quiet meditative absorption (samādhi) during prolonged empowerment before the principal Buddha.
Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Sakae is associated with calm, orderly ritual and a straightforward training spirit. Devotees often link LP Du’s guidance to daily recollection — “Buddhaṃ saraṇaṃ gacchāmi” — and living in a way that matches the amulet’s intention. The Putthapisek process here is described as multi-stage chanting followed by silent empowerment, a style collectors feel is reflected in the amulet’s poised proportions and sober, mature surface.
Materials & Craftsmanship
| Material | Nur Din (sacred clay) blended with old Buddha-image powder, relic/ash admixtures, metta powders, and temple herbal/floral powders; Khun Paen wicha recitations impressed pre-press. |
| Mold / Pim | Pim Haliam Yai — tall pentagon; crisp canopy arch; pronounced tiered base; even press rhythm on high points (face/chest/knees). |
| Consecration | Multi-stage Putthapisek at Wat Sakae led by LP Du with Ayutthaya Sangha; chant cycles and extended silent empowerment (samādhi). |
Spiritual Function & Doctrinal Purpose
According to Thai Buddhist belief, this amulet supports Metta Maha Niyom (likability/support), Klaew Klaad (averting danger), and Maha Lap (auspicious gains). Devotees traditionally wear it for calm confidence, social goodwill, and safer journeys — pairing it with daily recollection and wholesome conduct.
Rarity & Collector Significance
Assessed as collector-grade among LP Du devotees. Desirable traits include an unpainted original surface with natural luster, an even press on the high points, and a mature clay matrix. Authenticated examples appear with recognised bodies (e.g., Thaprachan); condition and clarity of key pim features strongly influence collectibility.
