Tapone Mai Gae Thak Sai Sin Ud Kring Early Era Carved Wooden Magical Drum with Rattle Hand Inscribed 2450 BE LP Derm Wat Nong Po
Tapone Mai Gae Thak Sai Sin Ud Kring, carved Hand-Inscribed wooden Magical Drum, with Spellbound Sinjana Cord Wrap, Leaden Yantra Spell Seals, and Magical Kring Rattle within, from the Legendary Master-Monk of Olden Days; LP Derm, of Wat Nong Po. The Tapone amulets of Luang Por Derm, are indeed an Immense rarity to see from the Great Luang Por Derm of Wat Nong Po, and can be considered one of his most hard to find 'Krueang Rang' Talismanic Charms.
The aged wooden surface of the Tapone, possesses LP Derm's inimitably recognizable Sacred Na Agkhara in Khom Sanskrit in the inscriptions, and the worn look of the wood and Sinjana Prayer Cords from the passage of time, reveals the authenticity, and true age of the amulet,. This exhibit easily reaches the Era of Luang Por Derm's Early Era, and is truly ancient.
Free Fed-Ex/DHL/EMS Worldwide Registered Express Airmail Shipping is included with this amulet. This is an amulet that will not have been made in mass, and is hand inscribed, and blessed by Luang Por Derm. Luang Por Derm blessed and empowered a great many different kinds of Talismanic Charms, and was very famous for his carved wood and ivory, and tooth amulets, for example his world famous 'Singh Sam Khwan' carved Himapant Lion amulets. This Tapone Ud Kring Talismanic amulet, is one of the rarest wicha and magical items to encounter, especially in such beautiful condition and carved with such balance and symmetry.
Luang Por Derm began to officially release amulets as editions, in the year 2457 BE (although he most certainly handed out his hand made amulets to devotees long before this, which is how a monk becomes popular enough to be asked for an official edition). This happened after he was nominated for a raise in status. We estimate this amulet to be from before this time, circa 2450 BE.
Below; The inimitably recognizable Sacred Na Khom Sanskrit Agkhara spell, in the handwriting of Luang Por Derm can be seen Inscribed on the Leaden Seal's surface, showing this amulet to have been personally Inscribed and blessed directly by Luang Por Derm separately and not as an edition of limited number made series amulets, rather, an individual early era amulet handed out to a devotee.
LP Derm was renowned for so many different Wicha and amulets, especially his Singh Sam Khwan Himapant Lions, and of course, his Takrut scroll spells and Pla Tapian. The Tapone LP Derm is one of the much lesser known and seen amulets of LP Derm.
The Legendary Takrut of LP Derm
One thing to note about his famous Takrut, is that Luang Por Derm would adhere to the principle of 'if the takrut are in Tong Daeng Copper, then all components of the Takrut, were also in copper. If silver, then all components should be in silver'. Meaning, that authentic Takrut Luang Por Derm will have the Takrut and the connecting yantra foils made from the same material.
This exhibit has a Phaen Yant in round form in Sacred Copper, with the hand inscription of the Yant Na Putsoorn 5 Dhyani Buddha Yantra by Luang Por Derm, which his Inimitable letter NA, making the exhibut easily authenticated, and is an excellent Yantra for Buddhanussati remembrance of the Buddha, to remind one of one's practice (to keep the 5 precepts to allow the amulets power to emit), and is empowered to bring Protection, Evade Dangers, Commanding Power, Anti Black Magick, Good Karma, Increase Status, Remove Obstacles, Entice Financial Business Success and Professional Success, such as Job Promotion, and Wage Rises.
Luang Por Derm was Born on Wednesday 6 February 2403 BE, and Died on Tuesday 22 June 2494 BE. He was one of the Greatest Masters of Thai Buddhist History, whose amulets, and famous 'Mitmor' ritual spirit knives are legendary around the whole wide world, for their authentic power, and Master Class Status. The Wicha of Luang Por Derm is continued to this day through his Looksit of the various Master Lineages.
HIs carved ivory, and wooden amulets are rare items, for they were made by individual Artisans who were Initiated and had received the Wicha, and 'Korb Kroo' Ritual Empowerment as permission from Luang Por Derm himself. Only such Lineage Master Initiates were allowed to perform carving or knife forging for Luang Por Derm, and even to this day after his passing, all the Posthumous Editions of amulets which derive from Masters who are Initiates of Luang Por Derm, must use only amulets and Artisanry which has been made by an Initiated Artisan.
This great Master and Abbot of Wat Nong Po, is believed to have chosen to be born on Earth in the village of Nong Po, to lighten the sufferings of Buddhist People, and to bestow them with Blessings to lead them on their way towards Happiness, and Alleviate their Sufferings, and Poverty. Legend tells that Luang Por Derm is believed to have been born once before with the same parents in Nong Po Village, but he died at an early age. The mother and father were so sad, and at the burial, it is said that they took a ritual knife, and made some marks on the feet of the corpse of the child.
They prayed for the child to be reborn with them, and that if this miracle would truly happen, that the newborn return of the child, would be marked on the feet with these marks. It is said that when Luang Por Derm was born, that he had the very same lines marking his feet, exactly where his parents had made marks on the feet of their deceased son. It is hence believed that this was the first Miracle of Luang Por Derm.
Luang Por Derm did not study much at school during his childhood, but after he ordained into the Sangha as a Buddhist Monk, he gave intense efforts and great interest to learn Bariyatti Dhamma (Theoretical Dhamma) with Luang Por Chom the then Abbot of Wat Nong Po at that time. He never stopped practicing and studying the various aspects of Dhamma Practice, Vinaya, Wicha Akom (Sorcery) and Lekh Yant Agkhara Khom, which He studied with Nai Pan Choo Pan, who was an Adept Sorceror who was resident within the enclave of Wat Nong Po Temple.
Nai Pan was a direct looksit of Luang Por Tao of Wat Nong Po who was an ancient Master Sorceror and Abbot of Wat Nong Po. He studied for seven years with this Master Sorceror, until his passing.. When his teacher Nai Pan passed away, Luang Por Derm then continued to practice and study Wicha with Luang Por Mee at Wat Bang Bon, another temple of the district in Nakorn Sawan, where he remained for a period of 2 Years. He also learned Tripitaka with Luang Por Num of Wat Khao Tong.
He also learned with Ajarn Yaem (a Lay Master who was Genius at both Dhamma Sermon Giving, and Wicha Akom). Luang Por Derm learned how to Preach Dharma, until he became an expert Preacher of Dhamma, and became recognized for his Immense Ability to interpret the difficult Dhamma Lessons and simplify them to explain to the Local Folk. Devotees would beseech him from all around the Province to come and Preach Dhamma to them.
Luang Por spent many years performing Preachings. until one day he stopped, and said that every time he wold go to tell others how to practice, and they wold give donations, that he thought it would be better to stop, and focus on teaching himself. he would send his apprentices who had learned well from him in his stead, and retired from this practice sometime around his eleventh year of ordination. he then focused on developing Vipassana Kammathana methods of self transformation, and dedicated himself extrememly diligently to develop the causes of enlightenment (Arahantship). he became famous for his ability to sit erect for many many hours, beyond the ability of other Masters.
It was here that Luang Por's ability in Wicha Akom began to ascend to a very high level, and his magical abilities began to take form and become extremely powerful.The fruits of his practice and studies which began with Nai Pan, and the many Kroo Ba Ajarn who had passed Wicha on to him flourished.

Luang Por still continued throughout this time to study with many other Masters, most of whose names are not known, for Luang Por Derm never really told others about his secret Masters, nor did he brag about the things he had learned and the places he went too learąø· them. It is however known that Luang Por did learn intensive Wicha Akom Saiyawaet with Luang Por Saban and Luang Por Taes of Wat Sap Tale, and Luang Por Wat Khao Nor.
The amulets of Luang Por Derm are far and few between to be found, for indeed the many devotees of Luang Por derm, are never prone to part with their amulets, which are highly revered as Buddhanussati Remembrance of the Great Master, and considered irreplaceabble for their Great Magical Power to Protect from Danger, Evade Hardships, and Nurture Success in LIfe's Undertakings.
