Historical Significance
Created in B.E. 2538 (1995 CE) under the guidance of Luang Phor Yongyut, abbot of Wat Khao Mai Daeng in Chonburi. The edition was intended to support temple restoration and Buddhist education projects. The Putthapisek (consecration ceremony) assembled monks renowned for their wicha (sacred formula) in Metta and Klaew Klaad, bestowing protection and prosperity upon devotees.
Reverse — incised yantra grid (lang yant) for invulnerability and metta empowerment.
Contextual Insight: This edition belongs to the post-1980s revival of Phra Pidta amulets in Chonburi, linking to the lineage of Luang Phor Pae and Luang Phor Tim. Lp Yongyut applied his own wicha cum rak (traditional lacquer sealing method) to preserve the powder’s sacred integrity and enhance longevity.
Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Khao Mai Daeng is a meditation center overlooking coastal Chonburi. Its masters emphasize Vipassana practice combined with protective chants of the Rattanakosin school. Luang Phor Yongyut is noted for his discipline in developing mental concentration through samatha bhavana and his devotion to crafting amulets for faithful lay supporters.
Alternate obverse — shows powder grain beneath lacquer seal (cum rak).
