Pra Plod Hnee Pim Tao Wua - 2 sided Buddha Amulet with Turtle and Bull - Luang Por Pina - Wat Sanom Lao
Pra Pim Sam Liam Plod Hnee Tao Wua (Pim Yai) - This is the larger of Luang Por Pina's famous and rare Two sided sacred powder amulet with Dhyani Buddha Images (any 2 of a total possible 5 were made in differing combinations). Different Animal Steeds are featured, some combinations being rarer than others. This model features the turtle and the bull.
Many Thai people prefer to call this amulet 'Pra Nang Paya Khee Sadtw', which means Nang Paya Buddha riding Animals'.
The smaller version also features five different Buddha Postures with different kinds of animal steeds. Each Buddha Image is seated over an animal Mascot as a steed, one side with a Bull, and the other side featuring a Turtle. The five different Buddhas which are found to appear on these amulets represent the five Dhyani Buddhas of this Kalpa (a Kalpa is an Aeons long period of time in Universal Cosmic time).
The Five different Dhyani Buddhas which are allocated to these amulets, which differ in various models, can be recognised by the animals they ride upon; Kakusanta Buddha is allocated with a Cockerel, Konakama Buddha is pictured with a Naga as his steed, Kassapa Buddha is pictured with a Turtle, Gautama Buddha is pictured with a Bull, and the Maitreya Buddha is pictured with a Lion.
In Vajrayana Buddhism, the Five Dhyani Buddhas (Chinese: éåēäŗęŗå¦ę„ / äŗę¹ä½), also known as the Five Wisdom TathÄgatas (Chinese: äŗęŗå¦ę„; pinyin: WĒzhƬ RĆŗlĆ”i), the Five Great Buddhas and the Five Jinas (Sanskrit for "conqueror" or "victor"), are representations of the five qualities of the Buddha. The term "dhyani-buddha" is first recorded in English by the British Resident in Nepal, Brian Hodgson, in the early 19th century, and is unattested in any surviving traditional primary sources.
These five Buddhas are a common subject of Vajrayana mandalas. These five Buddhas are the primary object of realization and meditation in Shingon Buddhism, a school of Vajarayana Buddhism founded in Japan by KÅ«kai. (Wikipedia - The 5 Dhyani Buddhas).

Pra Plod Hnee Pim Tao Wua (Turtle Side) Luang Por Pina Wat Sanom Lao
This amulet is 'Doo Ngaay' (easy to see it is real), for its clearly recognisable Muan Sarn. It is hence considered Ongk Kroo as a reference model for further study to increase the powers of recognition of authenticity of the amulets of Luang Por Pina
This is for its easily recognisable features and Muan Sarn Powders allow one to easily distinguish the authenticity of any other exhibit when held side by side for comparison, making it a Master Key for teaching the eyes to recognise Luang Por's famous Sacred Powders, as well as the effects of aging over the years, as to how discoloration and surface mildews should appear in a true authentic example of the Daw Aathan Hnun Duang.
Luang Por Pina is the deceased Abbot of Wat Sanom Lao in Sra Buri and was said to have possessed Abhinya Powers, and to have Mastered the 10 Kasina Powers of Elemental Magical Dominion.
It is said that he was able to read the minds and intentions of other Humans, and bring amulets to life with is Empowerment Methods, and that his amulets were able to give signs and also can be beseeched and prayed to for wish fulfilment (Sarapat Neuk). There are many stories of Miraculous Events occurring through his amulets.
Luang Por Pina is known to have performed strange Magical feats in front of the eyes of his disciples many times, especially when devotees would ask him for an amulet. He would ask the devotee to lay down and open their eyes, and would take a handful of sand and pour it over their face, as they would hold the amulet in the hand.
But the sand would bounce back before it hit their eyes, and no matter how much was poured on the face, not a single grain of sand would be able to enter the eyes of the devotee, becoming repelled as if by a force field before it touched the eyes.
Above Pic; The corpse of Luang Por Pina which was found in meditation posture, dead since over 12 Hours, but was still warm, and not stiff, to the immense surprise of those who found him. The surprise was because a corpse that is dead for over 12 hours, should be stiff as a board and cold.. his body was not mummified or given any special treatment according to his wishes and placed in his mausoleum.
Kata Luang Por Pina
Light 5 sticks of Incense, and chant the Maha Namasakara 3 times before chanting the special Kata for Luang Por Pina Bpiyataro
Namo Dtassa Pakawadto Arahadto Sammaa Samputtassa
Namo Dtassa Pakawadto Arahadto Sammaa Samputtassa
Namo Dtassa Pakawadto Arahadto Sammaa Samputtassa
Then chant the Kata for Luang Por Pina (3 times);
Ahang Sukhadto Pina Bpiyataro Naamadtae Aajaariyo Ma Pandtae Hohi
Kata Pluk Khong (Call the power within the amulet)
Puttang Gandtang Saranang Haa
Puttang Gandtang Saranang Hae
Puttaaa Namo Ya
Kata Pra Som Hwang (Fulfilment of Wishes)
Chant the following for as many repetitions as your age (for example, if you are 35 years old, then chant the Kata, repeatedly for 35 times)
Nadtae Sudtae
The last repetition, change the words to
Mahaa Sudtae Nachaa
As an example, let us pretend a four year old were to recite the mantra, which would result in four lines like this;
