Phra Pidta Nur Phong Bailan BE2521 Wat Lat Pla Duk Luang Pu Toh (Lp Toh) Wat Pradoochimplee
History
Phra Pidta Nur Phong Bailan, B.E. 2521
Wat Lat Pla Duk, Nonthaburi Province
Consecrated by Luang Pu Toh, Wat Pradoochimplee
In B.E. 2521 (1978), Wat Lat Pla Duk in Nonthaburi Province released a sacred batch of Phra Pidta amulets, made from Phong Bailan—a spiritually potent black powder derived from burned ancient Buddhist scriptures. This batch was consecrated under the spiritual leadership of Luang Pu Toh Intasuwanno, the highly revered monk of Wat Pradoochimplee, Bangkok.
Sacred Material: Phong Bailan (Burnt Palm Leaf Scriptures)
Phong Bailan is considered one of the most powerful materials in Thai amulet making. It is created by burning old, damaged palm-leaf Buddhist manuscripts, often preserved in temple libraries. These texts are typically inscribed with sacred Pali verses, mantras, and Dhamma teachings.
Once burned, the ash is ritually purified and mixed with other sacred powders to form a spiritual substance infused with:
-
Puttakhun (Buddha’s virtues)
-
Thamakhun (Dhamma’s virtues)
-
Sangkhakhun (Sangha’s virtues)
In many traditions, it is believed that the wisdom encoded in the original texts transforms into protective spiritual force, providing enhanced metta, baramee, and psychic shielding when properly blessed.
Role of Luang Pu Toh (Wat Pradoochimplee)
Luang Pu Toh Intasuwanno, the presiding monk in the consecration of this batch, was one of the most widely respected monks of the 20th century. Known for his deep meditation practice, compassion, and mastery of Katha Akhom (sacred incantations), he was frequently invited to lead major Puttapisek ceremonies throughout Thailand.
Although based at Wat Pradoochimplee, Luang Pu Toh maintained strong ties with many central Thai temples, including Wat Lat Pla Duk. His participation in this batch added immense spiritual weight and authenticity, as his blessings were renowned for:
-
Enhancing protection (Kongkraphan Chatri)
-
Fostering loving-kindness (Metta Maha Niyom)
-
Easing life obstacles and increasing fortune
It is said that Luang Pu Toh personally anointed and chanted over each amulet, ensuring that his spiritual energy was fully transferred into the batch.
Ceremony and Distribution
The amulets were consecrated in a formal Puttapisek ceremony held at Wat Lat Pla Duk, with participation from several senior monks of the region. The ritual involved multiple rounds of:
-
Chanting sacred mantras over several days
-
Invocation of protective deities and arahants
-
Sealing rituals (phithi pit tong) to empower the amulets for long-term spiritual activity
After the consecration, the amulets were distributed to devotees and temple supporters, especially those seeking protection, luck in trade, and spiritual assistance in times of difficulty.
Significance and Legacy
Phra Pidta Nur Phong Bailan B.E. 2521 is now recognized as one of the most spiritually charged Phra Pidta amulets associated with Luang Pu Toh, aside from his own temple’s productions.
Collectors and practitioners highly value this batch for:
-
Direct connection to Luang Pu Toh’s blessing
-
Rare use of authentic Phong Bailan
-
Effective protection against misfortune, spirits, and obstacles
Today, it remains a sought-after and respected sacred object, both for its spiritual power and historical significance within Thai Buddhist amulet culture.
