Small rhombus shaped locket 'Chak Khaw' (white front face) with the image of the Great Luang Phu Tim Issarigo of Wat Laharn Rai, Blessed by Luang Phu Tim and various other Great Master Monks of the time in 2517 BE atthe temple of Wat Po Sampant. Extra blessings were given by the great Luang Phu To and Luang Phu Rerm, Luang Por Chern, of Wat Mab Kha, and a host of other Masters of High repute. A most Sacred and now very rare edition which is becoming ever increasingly sought after, and rarer by the day, in the present Era.

This is due to the fact that recent times have seen the complete depletion of other editions of Luang Phu Tim, which were made and released direct from Wat Laharn Rai becoming impossible to find anymore. This exhibit was released along with a series of other amulets for Wat Po Sampant, and is an edition which was made world famous with the inclusion of the Look Om Pong Prai Kumarn Sacred Powder Balls made in the very same edition. One of the last editions to have been officially blessed by Luang Phu Tim before his passing. The Wat Po Sampant edition used a large repository of Pong Prai Kumarn powders of Luang Phu Tim, which made the Look Om series rise to International Fame and Acclaim. The front face of the locket has the image of Luang Phu, with the Khom Agkhara letters 'MA A U', and in Thai 'Issarigo Thera'.

What is less known about this famous edition, is that the amulets were also blessed by other great Guru Monks, who were present along with Luang Phu Tim to assist in the Buddha Abhiseka Ceremony, and included; Luang Phu Tim (Wat Laharn Rai) Luang Phu To ( Wat Pradoo Chimplee), Luang Por Rerm (Wat Juk Gacher, in Bang Lamung), Luang Por Chern (Wat Mab Kha), Luang Phu Sim (Watr Tham Fa Plong), Luang Phu Thin (Wat Pha Lelai), Luang Por Somchai (Wat Khao Sugim), Luang Phu Hin (Wat Rakang Kositaram), Luang Por Ob (Wat Tham Gaew), Luang Por Duang Dee (Wat Ta Jampi), Luang Por Lek (Wat Payong), Luang Por Jamlong (Wat Rach Singkhorn), Luang Phu Kam Saen (Wat Suan Dork), Luang Por Doo Wat Nong Yai, Luang Phu Bunrod (Wat Laharn Rai), Pra Ajarn Hlaay (Wat Na Jomtien), Luang Por Lang (Wat Ampawaram), Luang Por In (Wat Nong Gaet Yai), Luang Por Faem (Wat Aranyigawas)

The lockets were released along with other lockets, including some with the image of his Majesty King Bhumiphol Adulyadej (Rama 9), and various other amulets Look om were released in various versions; 1. With code stamp and with Takrut 2. Without code stamp but with Takrut, 3. With or without code stamp and without Takrut, and also 4. A pink powder version with Takrut was released. All versions are now extremely rare, for the fact that various groups of Devotees from the various Guru Masters present in the ceremony all became fervent collectors of this amulet.

The edition included Nang Paya (with and without Takrut), Lockets, Luang Phu Bun Mee coins, Rian Pra Pratan Buddha Coin, Various Sacred Powder amulets in various forms including Look Om Pong Prai Kumarn, Ruesi, and various forms of Takrut Sam Kasat and Takrut Tone (many of which were coated in Pong Prai Kumarn), Roop Tai photos, Palad Khik, Luang Phu Tim coins, Buddha Chinarat images, Pra Bucha statues, and Palad Khik.

This edition of amulets of Luang Phu Tim has taken on a big increase in popularity during the last decade, and is now no longer to be encountered commonly anywhere in the amulet emporiums, except for the most elite showrooms. We highly recommend it as a sound investment and a last chance to obtain and be the proud owner of an authentic amulet of the Great Luang Phu Tim, with the added blessings of Luang Por Rerm, Luang Por Chern, Luang Phu To, and a host of other Masters, as extra faith instillment.

This Locket of Luang Phu Tim, is hence a highly attractive and rare Sacred Amulet that would be a welcome addition to any Master Class Collector's Showcase, and more importantly, would be a most powerful amulet to possess for Bucha, and receive his Blessings, which History has proved time and time again to be one of the most powerful and famous amulet makers in Thai Amulet History.

History of the Edition

When Luang Por Bun Mee Atha Banyo passed away on the 24th April of the year 2516 BE, Pra Prasit Prasittigo, who was given the charge of adminsitrating the temple instead of the deceased Abbot, and who was a direct apprentice to Luang Phu Tim of Wat Laharn Rai, went to see his Guru at Wat Laharn Rai. Luang Phu Tim then bestowed the Wicha Takrut Tone, giving him the instruction to cut leaden Yantra foils at a length of around 11.7 Cm, and inscribe a series of Khom Agkhara spells onto the leaden Takrut Tone scrolls.

Luang Phu then gave the formula of Muan sarn Ingredients to make the Pong Prai Kumarn Powders and other powders for amulets, and instructed Pra Prasit Prasittigo to gather and prepare these ingredients for the making of the Look Om, according to the given formula.

Some of the Muan Sarn which was used included; Pong Prai Kumarn Luang Phu Tim, Sincana Cords from Buddha Abhiseka Blessings, and Abhidhamma Funeral Ceremonies, Pong Ittajae, Pong Dtrinisinghae, Pong Bpathamang, Hair from Luang Phu Tim (Gesa), Nam Man Look Prakam Oil, Nam Man Pra jao Taksin Oil, Broken Down Ancient Sacred Amulets from a host of Sacred Temples, and Pong Puttakun Powders from Luang Phu Bun Mee, the recently deceased Abbot of Wat Po Sampant.

These ingredients were then then bound together using the Wicha given by Luang Phu Tim. Because a lot of powder was left after making the limited editions of each kind of Look Om, the remainder of the powders were used to cover the Takrut Tone amulets with Because of the various coarse elements of Muan Sarn, each Look Om and Takrut of the Wat Po Sampant edition may have differing elements visible within the powders, such as Gaesa (hair) of Luang Phu Tim, and Sincana cord threads. The Look Om were covered with a bronze coating, and some were empowered with insertion of Takrut Sariga spell (1 - 3 Takrut per Look Om).

The Look Om have a different appearance in surface texture to the editions released at Wat Laharn Rai and are defined and differentiated easily for their distinction in coloration and surface texture. The Muan Sarn is much drier and harder, and condensed that the batches of Wat Laharn Rai, and are much harder to the touch. They were made in many different sizes, ranging from 0.5 Cm, right up the the size of a Fist, and were blessed on 2 different separate occasions;

1. The first Blessing Ceremony was held at Wat Po Sampant, in 2517 BE with Luang Phu To of Wat Pradoo Chimplee, Luang Phu Tim of Wat Laharn Rai, Luang Phu Sim, of Wat Tham Pha Plong, Luang Phu Kram of Wat Wang Hwaa, Luang Phu Mon, of Wat Nern Ta Mak, Luang Por Rerm of Wat Juk Kacher, and Luang Por Chern of Wat Mab Kha present, amongst a large number of other monks who came to assist in the ceremony.

2. The second empowerment occurred by Pra Luang Por Prasit taking the whle batch from Wat Po Sampant, and depositing them with Luang Phu Tim at Wat Laharn Rai, who empowered the Look Om in solitary every night for a period of 8 Months, whereupon Luang Phu Tim became ill, and was admitted into Hospital, where he was kept in care for a period of 23 days, after which, Luang Phu passed away after return to the Temple at 23:00 hours, on the 16th at the Prayer Room of Wat Laharn Rai.

The Wat Po Sampant edition amulets are amongst the amulets at the temple which received Luang Phu's last 8 months of blessings, and is an immensely important edition, and also the very last edition he empowered right up to his passing, along with some other editions which were also deposited and in stasis at the temple to receive his blessings before release.
