Phra Pidta Lang Phuttho Yant BE2499 Mae Chee Boonruen Wat Awutwikasitaram

Phra Pidta Lang Phuttho Yant • Nur Pun Sek • BE 2499

Mae Chee Boon Ruean • Wat Awutwikasitaram (Wat Awuth), Bangkok • With Thaprachan Certificate

Collector Lens

In Thai amulet culture, Pidta is not merely “a protective image.” It is a lesson in practice: close the doors of distraction,
return to the breath, and keep the mind upright. This BE2499 piece is especially admired because it carries both the Pidta posture
(front) and the Phuttho yantra (back) — a pairing collectors often read as “restraint + awakening,”
a complete cycle for those who want protection that begins with mental discipline (traditional belief framing).

Historical Significance

Dated to BE2499, this Phra Pidta belongs to the era when Mae Chee Boon Ruean’s sacred items were deeply respected for
their quiet potency and devotional sincerity. Wat Awuth (Bangkok) is associated with community faith and practical Buddhism —
amulets made for people who needed steadiness, protection, and inner composure. In collector language, pieces linked to Mae Chee Boon Ruean
are also meaningful as an example of female spiritual authority in Thai amulet history.

1) Purpose of the Making

• Primary intention: to create an amulet for deep meditative protection — to block misfortune and spiritual interference (traditional belief).
• Spiritual aspiration: enhance inner peace, quiet worldly suffering, and develop samadhi (concentration).
• Occasion: made for a Mongkol Mahalap consecration — a grand empowerment rite for auspicious blessing.
• Targeted users: lay practitioners and monastics seeking stability when facing misfortune, spiritual pressure, or “heavy” life periods.

2) Materials Used (Nur Pun Sek)

“Nur Pun Sek” is described in your notes as a sacred composite matrix — built from ritual remnants and consecrated substances.
Collectors usually read it as a compiled power: many small holy sources unified into one body.

• Powdered remnants of older sacred amulets
• Bone ash associated with revered cremation rites (where applicable in tradition)
• Incense ash and candle wax from temple rituals
• Crushed sacred herbs/flowers used in ubosot consecrations
• Temple soils and relic particles collected from auspicious grounds

3) Iconography & Features

• Front: Pidta posture — covering the eyes, symbolizing withdrawal from distractions and sealing the senses for inner truth.
• Back: Phuttho Yant — a sacred yantra associated with awakening and spiritual steadiness.
• Form: compact, solid-bodied, hand-crafted character; rustic finish is often appreciated as “honest temple work,” not factory polish.

4) Ritual & Blessing Process (Traditional Account)

• Presided over by: Mae Chee Boon Ruean
• Ceremony frame: Mongkol Mahalap — extended chanting and meditative invocations across multiple sessions.
• Blessing elements: Maha Paritta recitations, personal empowerment, and “intention sealing” through yantra tradition.
