Ajahn Plian Panyapatipo (Wat Aranyawiwek)

Ajahn Plian Panyapatipo – Wat Aranyawiwek
Small Lanna-Style Locket (Approx. 2cm)

This humble yet spiritually potent locket is a reflection of the traditional northern Lanna style often preferred by forest monks and meditation masters in Chiang Mai and surrounding provinces. Made under the guidance of Ajahn Plian Panyapatipo of Wat Aranyawiwek, this piece embodies simplicity, authenticity, and deep spiritual grounding.

Measuring approximately 2cm, this locket contains:

• Monk robe relics (จีวร) worn by Ajahn Plian during meditation and teaching

• Hair relics from Ajahn Plian, respectfully preserved

It follows the old-school Lanna approach, where amulets are made not for commercial appeal but as sacred offerings or gifts to close disciples and practitioners. The back is traditionally sealed, and the piece is housed in a Northern Thai silver-style frame, known for its soft, floral engravings and hand-worked detail — a classic mark of Northern artisanship.

While simpler than the larger kamakan version, this locket is no less spiritually charged. It is ideal for daily wear, especially for practitioners seeking:

• Mindfulness and calm in meditation

• Spiritual clarity and protection

• Connection to a living teacher's baramee

This is the kind of piece often quietly worn by monks or senior forest practitioners, not widely seen in the market but deeply cherished for its sincerity and lineage. A quiet treasure from the forest tradition.
