Historical Significance
Issued in B.E. 2513 (1970 CE) under the supervision of Chao Khun Nor (Phra Dhammananmuni), this edition of Phra Pidta Lang Yant was created during his later years at Wat Thepsirin. It was made to reinforce faith among devotees and to fund the temple’s restoration. The Putthapisek consecration was a solemn gathering of senior Bangkok monks, imbuing each piece with powerful blessings for protection and mindfulness.

Contextual Insight: This edition reflects Chao Khun Nor’s deep adherence to inner meditation and the wicha of Phra Pidta—a form symbolizing the closing of the six senses. The yantra-backed design was a signature of his final decade, representing a balance between protective power and mindful seclusion.
Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Thepsirin, established by King Rama V, is among Bangkok’s royal temples known for its scholarly monastic order. Under Chao Khun Nor’s leadership, emphasis was placed on meditative restraint and disciplined ritual practice, rooted in the principle of samadhi (concentration). His lineage followed a contemplative path where sacred creation was treated as meditation in action.
Reverse — Yantra inscriptions for invulnerability and compassionate charm (Metta).

Spiritual Function & Doctrinal Purpose
According to Thai Buddhist belief, this amulet enhances Klaew Klaad (safety and protection), Metta Mahaniyom (compassionate charm), and Maha Lap (prosperity). The closed-sense imagery of Phra Pidta serves as a meditative reminder to guard one’s mind while radiating loving-kindness to others.
Rarity & Collector Significance
Classified as Collector-grade. Authentic examples display fine-grain powder texture and clear yantra impressions. Many were privately distributed among Chao Khun Nor’s disciples, making public pieces exceptionally scarce. Recognized in major competitions and Samakom catalogs for its meditative refinement and spiritual potency.
