Somdej Prah Phuttha Metta

This Somdej by Arjan Pirat carries a depth of blessing that is hard to find today. Arjan Pirat is a close friend of both Ac Plien and LP Prasit, and during his early monkhood he travelled extensively across Thailand to visit top forest masters. From each teacher he gathered small portions of relics—robe fibres, powders, ashes, and hair. Over the years he accumulated relics from more than 108 forest monks, many of whom had powerful meditation lineages or had already passed on.

He told me that when he was young, he kept receiving a calling during meditation:
one day he would use all these relics to make amulets dedicated to spreading metta and baramee.
So he continued collecting, but without rushing the process. Instead, he spent decades deep in forest and cave practice, strengthening his own mind and wiccha until the right time came.

Eventually, age caught up with him. Local devotees donated a piece of land, and he established a small forest shrine (samnak)—not a full temple, but a place built for genuine practice. To raise funds to complete the shrine and prepare accommodation for passing monks and lay practitioners, he finally decided to use the relics he had been keeping for so many years.

He prepared this Somdej batch using all those relics—powders, robes, hair relics, and ashes from past and present forest masters. The blessing process took place over multiple rain retreats, with repeated chanting and metta-building. It is one of the last examples I have seen where a monk spends years, not days, on concentrated consecration.

When I eventually met Arjan Pirat, I immediately understood why people speak so highly of him. He is quiet, sincere, very clear-minded, and carries the atmosphere of someone who has spent a lifetime in genuine practice. He shared a great deal of wisdom with me, and because we had mutual connections within the forest lineage, he allowed me access to some of his best pieces. These were not amulets he was actively promoting. They were simply items he released to those he felt had the right affinity.

Later, as his Somdej began circulating in Bangkok, the response was overwhelmingly positive. Collectors and devotees from the central region have grown tired of factory-made amulets, and they immediately recognised the old-style forest craftsmanship in Arjan Pirat’s work. Many Bangkok businessmen who wear this piece reported very similar experiences:

• increased respect,

• smooth dealings,

• doors opening when needed,

• wealth arising through baramee rather than force.

This is exactly the type of steady, grounded blessing that defines forest-lineage amulets. Not flashy, not dramatic—just consistent influence that improves how the world responds to you.

For me, receiving his pieces felt like a continuation of the connections I have been building with many forest-lineage masters. Arjan Pirat’s Somdej is one of the rare modern works that still carries the genuine weight, materials, and intentionality of the old era. It is a blessing created over decades, not months, and it shows.
