Say the words Phra Pid Ta, Reverend Father Lai, Khao Yee San Temple, Samut Songkhram Province

Those who love close-eyed monks may be confused...

same as

"Luang Por Yai" as the old people called it.

only in the book

Following in the footsteps of Phra Pid Ta Mongkhon, Payap Khamphan intends to change the word "Bay" that is commonly known by his mouth to "Lai" which he is sure is his real name.

But the villagers call each other crazy names.

Children of the year 1957, my generation, around Phetchaburi, Mae Klong, then went to Mahachai.

known and respected

Luang Pho Lai candy...a lot

Whoever hangs it on his waist, it is believed that it will not sink when falling into the water, as well as people in Chonburi.

believed

Permanent Secretary, Reverend Father Ee, Wat Sattahip, a kind of magic that swims according to the owner, as for the closed-eye amulet, Reverend Father Lai, which is popular with adults.

He would have made few

therefore rarely talked about

According to the age of Luang Por Lai, as mentioned in Khun Payap's book, he was born around 1837 during the reign of King Rama III and died in 1908 for more than a hundred years.

History of Reverend Father Lai... The name says that he is of Chinese descent.

No one recognizes him as a disciple of Luang Por.

told by the mouth of the villagers

You are the right word.

practice the precepts

holding solitude on Khao Yi San

persistent in learning, diligent in practice

skilled in magic

In his era, when villagers fell ill

no matter the epidemic

Possessed by a spirit, bitten by a cobra, all came to him.

Cobra bite story

There is a story that Luang Por asks

Where did it come from?

When told that he was bitten on Khao Yi San

he said

From now on, the Khao Yi San Cobra will not bite anyone since then, no one has been hit by the Khao Yi San Cobra.

which is very abundant, another bite

in order to build morale

Reverend Father created sacred objects to distribute. In addition to the candy that was distributed to children.

There is also a blindfolded Buddha image for adults.

Created from magic powder and Wan 108 (some people say that the texture of Wan Ya mixed with steep) comes to be pressed and printed as a closed-eye gesture.

Then take a copper or brass wire and plug it into a loop.

to hang on

Payap's book

There is an image of the Buddha image in the posture of putting hands together.

The obtuse top is used to insert the ring, and the bottom is sharp, showing two similar patterns.

may use the word

"print from mold"

But in fact, Phra Pid Luang Por Lai... besides this type, there is also a “Pidta Pimpun” (see example of the one in today's column), similar to some type of Phimpun.

Close the eyes of Luang Pho Kaew, Pak Thale Temple, which is not far away, in Ban Laem District, Phetchaburi Province.

There is something worth noting

The age of building blindfolded Luang Pho Lai... and the age of building of Luang Pho Kaew, Pak Thale Temple should not be very different.

I would like to guess that Luang Pho Lai took the model from Luang Pho Kaew, he's not good at it.

have an influence on each other, should be enough

Phra Pid Ta Reverend Father Lai, molded, up until today, there are very few in the book of the kingdom of Phra Pid Ta Ut.

The book by Master Niphat Jitprasong has a picture of the blindfolded Buddha image in a flat print.

Three are not the same

(So ​​I want to guess that

A flat print would probably be carved with a sharp object.

It's the same mold)

As for the closed-eye amulet, molded and round like that of Luang Por Kaew.

It is posted for viewing as a single example.

I've seen ads for sale in pastoral magazines.

The machine was about ten years ago, one of which was set at a price of sixty thousand.

It is considered to be quite high. To this day, we cannot guess how much.

There is no reduced price for amulets.

only increasing

There are three basic principles of antique art: primitive art.

(Beginner skill, villager style) Intermediate level, Ekeik, raw and raw, pretending to be beautiful and advanced level, classic level, beautiful and perfect, there are people who love amulets, love and fascinate with art, primitive level or village craftsmanship.

There are quite a few Luang Pho Kaew type molds or Luang Pho Lai type molds.

part about alchemy

Whether it's a way of fortune, charm, like Luang Pho Kaew, Pak Thale Temple, or preventing tusks or disasters.

Like Reverend Father Lai, Yi San Temple, it depends on the belief.

Whatever kind of faith you have, you can find a Buddha image that has already been used.
