Phra Khun Paen Plad Tawi Pim Yai (Big Mold)

B.E. 2490–2492 | Wat Bang Krang, Nonthaburi

Rare Edition with Thaprachan Certificate | Big Ceremony Consecrated

Historical Overview

The Phra Khun Paen Plad Tawi Pim Yai, created between B.E. 2490–2492 (1947–1949 CE), is one of the most highly venerated and rare amulet series produced under the direction of Luang Phor Chong (also spelled Chhong), the revered abbot of Wat Bang Krang, Nonthaburi Province. It was produced during the post-war era, a time when spiritual strength, protection, and recovery were deeply needed by the Thai public.

This amulet is well known for its Plad Tawi posture, where the Buddha image is flanked by two celestial beings or mythical consorts, symbolizing balance between power, charm, and divine protection.

Creator and Spiritual Authority

Luang Phor Chong (1867–1958) was among the most influential meditation masters and spiritual figures in Central Thailand. He was deeply respected for his mastery in Wicha (Thai occult sciences), meditative attainments, and compassionate service to the community. The Khun Paen Plad Tawi series was among his most significant contributions to Thai amulet history.

Purpose of Creation

The amulet was created with the following objectives:

• To offer protection and metta (loving-kindness) to laypeople, military personnel, and followers during the rebuilding era after WWII

• To fund temple restorations and Dharma propagation at Wat Bang Krang

• To preserve and transmit ancient Khmer-Ayutthaya wicha in tangible sacred form

Distribution was limited and often personally given to disciples, with only a small portion released to the public.

Major Blessing Ceremony

A grand consecration ceremony was held, involving Luang Phor Chong and a number of respected monks across Thailand. The ritual spanned several days, using intensive chanting, invocation of protective deities, and meditative empowerment.

Ceremony highlights:

• Multiple days and nights of uninterrupted prayers

• Ancient yantra inscriptions drawn and empowered during chanting

• Use of sacred candle wax, holy threads, and invocations from Lanna, Khmer, and Ayutthaya traditions

• Final empowerment performed solely by Luang Phor Chong in private meditation

This large-scale consecration was instrumental in establishing the amulet’s reputation as spiritually potent and reliable.

• Coloration: Varies from reddish-brown, light beige to blackish-brown, depending on the sacred mixture used

• Ashes and fragments of sacred texts, temple relics, and votive tablets

• Herbaceous resin, palm fiber, and powdered relics (where permitted)

These ingredients were hand-pressed and then spiritually sealed through meditative and ritual procedures.
