Lp Waypon Wat Donyaihom

In พ.ศ. 2555 (2012), Wat Pa Samakkhi Khilin in Austin, Texas, USA, was building its new ubosot (ordination hall) to support the spread of Buddhism in the West. Phra Maha Chai, a direct nephew of Luang Phor Ngern, Luang Phor Chaem, and Luang Phor Uayporn of Wat Don Yai Hom, brought this matter to Luang Phor Uayporn for support.

Luang Phor Uayporn, recognized as one of the leading masters of Nakhon Pathom in this generation, agreed to consecrate a new batch of Phra Pidta Mee Lap to help raise funds for the project. Phra Maha Chai personally designed and sculpted the wax mold. Once approved as correct according to lineage, the casting ceremony was held at Wat Don Yai Hom, in front of the kuti of Luang Phor Chaem and Luang Phor Uayporn.

Ceremony

The consecration and casting took place on 5 December พ.ศ. 2555, performed in strict accordance with the traditional methods passed down from Luang Phor Ngern’s lineage. Every piece was cast on-site at Wat Don Yai Hom.

Sacred Materials (Muan Sarn)

This batch was created only from sacred, historic components, including:

• Chonuan Phra Chinnarat Khao Loi of Luang Phor Ngern

• Chonuan from the principal Buddha image of Wat Don Yai Hom

• Chonuan from the first Phra Pidta Maha Ut batch of Luang Phor Chaem

• Old amulets of LP Ngern, LP Chaem, and LP Uayporn (e.g., 80th Anniversary silver coin of LP Ngern, first batch LP Chaem images, first issue LP Uayporn medallions)

• Around 2,500 yantra sheets inscribed by masters across Thailand

• More than 5,000 takrut, both old and new

Thus, each amulet carried the accumulated spiritual force of three generations of Don Yai Hom masters.

Distribution & Numbers

Because the casting was performed until all materials were fully exhausted, the final numbers could not be predetermined. The completed totals were:

• Committee sets: 72 sets (each set includes silver, mineral, satang, chonuan thong, and one Nam Tao Riek Sap wealth calabash; all pieces stamped with extra committee code)

• Gold: 3 pcs

• Silver: 83 pcs

• Mineral: 118 pcs

• Satang: 328 pcs

• Chonuan Thong: 1,427 pcs

• Worship clusters: 9 sets (each cluster = 9 pcs)

  • 2 clusters satang

  • 7 clusters chonuan

Significance

This batch of Phra Pidta Mee Lap, พ.ศ. 2555, was created purely for merit-making, not for commercial purposes. Its purpose was to fund the ubosot construction in America — a rare continuation of Wat Don Yai Hom’s lineage abroad. Combined with the sacred muan sarn, traditional ritual casting, and the direct blessing of Luang Phor Uayporn, this remains one of the most important Phra Pidta of his era.
