Summary

This is a Singh Ber Nueng of Luang Phor Mui, Wat Don Rai, Suphanburi, made in B.E. 251x. The Singha is carved in Nga Chang, 1 cm, and is worn in a silver heart-shaped frame with coloured enamel. Luang Phor Mui's Singha is kept for wealth fetching, useful connections, and a calm, commanding presence in work and conversation.

Historical Background

Luang Phor Mui was born on 5 December 1888 in Ban Don Rai, Sam Chuk, Suphanburi. After a first period in the monkhood and a return to the family farm, a grave illness led him to vow that if he recovered he would give the rest of his life to the path. He was ordained again on 22 March 1922 (B.E. 2465) and received the Dhamma name Buddharakkhito.

He studied under respected teachers including Luang Phor Sook of Wat Pak Khlong Makham Thao, Luang Phor Im of Wat Hua Khao, and Luang Pu On of Wat Don Buppharam. In B.E. 2466 (1923) he came to stay at Wat Don Rai, which he rebuilt from a modest village temple into a living centre of practice, later serving as a district ecclesiastical preceptor.

He passed away peacefully on 15 January 1974 (B.E. 2517) at the age of 85. His images are kept for protection, metta, and good fortune, and his Singha pieces — including the Singh Ber Nueng — have long been prized among devotees of Wat Don Rai.

Blessings and Effects

This Singh Ber Nueng is traditionally kept for wealth fetching and for drawing helpful connections — new opportunities, clients, and people who can open a path. It is also kept for a quiet authority: personal magnetism, the trust of others, and steady confidence in business, sales, and negotiation.

Modern Application

It is a compact piece for daily wear, especially in meetings, trade, and any work that depends on being well received. Worn close, it is a discreet companion for building relationships and moving through the day with composure.

Recommended Pairing

Another image by Luang Phor Mui from Wat Don Rai, such as a Somdej, sits well beside this Singh Ber Nueng, joining a steady foundation piece to one kept for wealth and connection.
