Luang Phor Nen – Lersi Wai Kru Pim

Commissioned by Arjan Bed

Mainstream

Summary

This unusual baked-clay amulet depicts Luang Phor Nen carrying a Lersi head, a form connected to the sacred tradition of Wai Kru — paying respect to one's teachers and lineage masters.

The piece was specially commissioned by Arjan Bed and created during Luang Phor Nen's Wai Kru ceremony. Interestingly, another of Arjan Bed's teachers, the much more widely known Luang Phor Kalong, also had a similar pim depicting the master together with a Lersi head.

For collectors familiar with Arjan Bed's lineage, this is therefore more than simply a portrait amulet. It represents the relationship between teacher, disciple and spiritual lineage, while carrying a particularly interesting story concerning the connection between Luang Phor Nen and Arjan Bed.

Historical Background

According to the account passed down within the lineage, Luang Phor Nen and Arjan Bed believed that they had known one another in a previous life.

Their relationship was therefore regarded as something that extended beyond their present lifetime. It is said that both masters recognised this connection, which helps explain the closeness between them and why Arjan Bed commissioned this particular amulet from Luang Phor Nen.

The amulet was made during Luang Phor Nen's Wai Kru, an occasion dedicated to remembering and honouring one's teachers.

The Lersi imagery is especially appropriate in this context. Within Thai spiritual traditions, Lersi are closely associated with teachers, sacred knowledge, meditation and the transmission of ancient wisdom.

Origins of the Pim

The most distinctive feature of this pim is the image of Luang Phor Nen carrying a Lersi head.

This was not merely created as an unusual artistic design. It directly reflects the Wai Kru purpose behind the amulet and its connection to the lineage of teachers.

Arjan Bed's other master, Luang Phor Kalong, also produced a similar pim. The Luang Phor Nen version was created during the same consecration as the other amulets from this ceremony, making it part of the original Wai Kru blessing rather than a later commemorative issue.

For collectors of Arjan Bed's lineage, the connection between these masters makes this a particularly meaningful piece.

Sacred Material & Takrut

The amulet itself was fashioned from baked sacred clay, giving surviving examples a naturally aged and earthy appearance.

More importantly, the reverse contains a takrut personally handwritten by Arjan Bed.

This takrut was prepared specifically with intentions relating to wish fulfilment and spiritual guidance. Within the tradition, it is associated with seeking guidance from higher spiritual forces when facing uncertainty, important decisions or situations where one's normal judgement alone may not provide a clear answer.

The combination is therefore significant: Luang Phor Nen's blessed Wai Kru amulet together with Arjan Bed's handwritten takrut, bringing the spiritual lineages of teacher and disciple together within a single piece.

Blessings and Effects

This amulet is particularly suitable for those seeking:

• Wish fulfilment and assistance in achieving important intentions

• Guidance when making difficult decisions

• Stronger intuition and sensitivity

• Development of the sixth sense

• Support for meditation and spiritual practice

• Greater clarity when interpreting signs or inner feelings

• Connection with teachers and spiritual guidance

Rather than being primarily a wealth or protection piece, its character is more strongly directed toward wisdom, intuition and spiritual development.

Modern Application

For the modern wearer, this is especially suitable for someone who regularly depends upon intuition — whether in business, personal decisions or spiritual practice.

It may also appeal strongly to those beginning or deepening a meditation practice. The combination of Wai Kru, Lersi symbolism and Arjan Bed's handwritten takrut gives the piece a very specific purpose: helping the wearer cultivate awareness while seeking guidance beyond ordinary perception.

For those interested in developing their sixth sense or intuitive ability, this would be one of the more suitable pieces from Arjan Bed's lineage.

Physical Details

The amulet is made from baked clay in the traditional manner. The front depicts Luang Phor Nen carrying the Lersi head, while the reverse preserves the original sacred material and contains the handwritten takrut prepared by Arjan Bed.

Because these pieces were individually made from traditional materials, variations in surface, colour, texture and ageing should naturally be expected.

Recommended Pairing

This amulet can be worn alone for meditation, intuition and spiritual guidance, or paired with a strong Buddha or senior monk amulet when the wearer also wishes to strengthen Baramee, protection and stability.

Its role within such a combination would be particularly clear: the Buddha or monk amulet provides the foundation, while the Luang Phor Nen Lersi Wai Kru piece supports intuition, guidance and connection with the lineage of teachers.

Personal Notes

What makes this piece interesting to me is not simply its rarity or unusual appearance, but the story behind it.

Luang Phor Nen and Arjan Bed believed that their friendship had already begun in a previous life and that they recognised this connection when they met again in this lifetime. The amulet therefore represents something deeper than the relationship between a master and his student.

Created during Wai Kru, depicting Luang Phor Nen carrying the Lersi head, and completed with a takrut handwritten by Arjan Bed himself, it brings together the ideas of teacher, lineage, past-life connection and spiritual guidance in one piece.

For someone who meditates, wishes to develop stronger intuition, or simply wants guidance when navigating important moments in life, this is a very meaningful amulet to keep.
