LP Parn Amulets of First Generation
The above is LP Parn amulet of first generation, Phim Krut (Garuda). The mold was carved on fine rock by a local folk artisan. No hole for filling holy powder at the top or the bottom edge. Year of creation is around B.E.2450-2452.First-generation amulets, as a sample seen above, were made by LP Parn and blessed twice, the first blessing had been conducted by LP Parn himself and the second blessing was conducted by LP Niam*. LP Parn's first-generation amulets were found both in the nearby areas of Wat BangNomkho and Wat Noi, Suphanburi. The first-generation amulets were made in a limited small number and LP Parn distributed to his close layman disciples, so the amulets are very rare. The author found the first amulet of this kind in B.E. 2532, the second one in B.E. 2539, and then the third one recently in this B.E. 2549. LP Parn has set his intention that if the amulets (of the first generation) do not have high efficacies, he will stop all his amulet creation. But the amulets had performed very well and so great for life protection, Metta, including drawing in wealth and fortune, so the 2nd- and 3rd-generation amulets were followingly made and blessed by LP Parn. *LP Niam of Wat Noi, Suphanburi, is the teacher of great Guru monks viz LP Parn of Wat BangNomkho, LP Sod of Wat Paknam, and LP Nong of Wat Klong Madan, so LP Niam is highly respected as the teacher of teachers. LP Niam finished highest Dhamma of PatiSamPhithayarn, he could perform unlimited miraculous phenomena, he has knowledge on all Tripitaka thoroughly without learning it, he understands all animals' languages, he could pick out any stanza of monks' daily chantings as efficacious Kathas etc. LP Niam passed away in B.E. 2453, at the age of 80, in the reclining posture like Lord Buddha' s niravan posture and his body was undecomposed.
