One of the most highly preferred amulets of this master, the Pra Pid Ta Nuea Pong, this one being a Pim Klang Matathaan preferred model in medium size. This exhibit is in Nuea Pong Ittijae, and has all the classic features of a Pim Niyom preferred model, with the classic pear shaped image with rounded contours. Blessed and Empowered by Luang Phu Rian, Olden Days Sorceror Monk of Wat Nong Bua, in Kanjanaburi. Luang Phu Rian was the continuance of the Lineage of the Great Luang Phu Yim.
The Pra Pid Ta of Luang Phu Rian were made in various forms, and released throughout his continuous trajectory. They resemble of course those of his Mentor Luang Phu Yim, and are at best differentiated by the judgement of the age of the Muan Sarn Sacred Powders of the amulet, to define which of these two masters such a Pra Pid Ta was made by.
The rear face has been treated with some herbal lacquer, both to empower the Muan sarn clay, as well as to protect against the rubbing against the skin, as in those days, people rarely would encase an amulet, and would usually wear the amulet against bare skin.
Luang Phu Rian, of Wat Nong Bua, was the Apprentice Master and Wicha Inheritor of the great Luang Phu Yim of Wat Nong Bua. Luang Phu Yim was one of the Greatest Master Gaeji Ajarn of Ancient Times of the Kanjanaburi Province.
Luang Phu Yim would appoint Luang Phu Rian, to Invoke the Kata Akom Incantations, and make the Inscription of Khom Agkhara Spells on the surface of his talismans and amulets in his stead. After Luang Phu Yim had bestowed all of his Wicha upon Luang Phu Rian, Luang Phu Rian then became immensely famous for his powerful Magic.
His amulets received immense popularity with the local devotees, throughout 58 Years of Ordination, until his final passing. He is very famous for his carved wooden Pra Somdej Mai Sao Bote amulets, which were made from the pillars of the old Uposatha shrine room of Wat Nong Bua. It is said that Luang Phu Rian began to perform the carving of his rare and famous Pra Somdej Mai Sao Bote wooden Shrine Room Pillar amulets himself.
He would make many different amulets, some which emulated and continued the Wicha of Luang Phu Yen, and some which were of his own design, or taken from other Wicha. His Pra Pid Ta follow only second to those of his Mentor Luang Phu Yim, and are amongst the most highly regarded Pra Pid Ta amulets of their Region. Both Luang Phu Rian and Luang Phu Yim are considered to be two of the top Masters of Kanjanaburi Province of all History.
The making of the famous Pra Somdej Mai Bote carved wooden amulets of Luang Phu Rian;
In the year 2494 BE, Luang Phu Rian saw that the Uposadha Shrine Room was becoming delapidated, and in need of constructing a new Uposadha. Luang Phu saw that the wooden pillars, which were already over a century old at the time, had received the powerful vibrational energies of the chanting of Luang Phu Yim and the Sangha Monks who had performed ceremonies throughout the century of its existence, and were full of Buddhakun Power from the Incantations of Luang Phu Yim and the prayers of the Monks.
The devotees would constantly bring pieces of the Uposadha pillar wood to Luang Phu to bless and make into amulets. Some amulets were carved by Luang Phu himself, and others were traken to artisans for carving, by the devotees who had been given pieces of the Uposatha pillar wood for Bucha, and some were carved by the villagers themselves, those who were too poor to pay an artisan. For this reason, there are many different levels of mastery
