Tiger Face Kong Grapan/Amnaj Amulet
Rental price for this amulet - This is a "Kong Grapan Chadtri" amulet (protection against physical harm, invincibility) made bt Hlwong Por Jamnian, the abbot of Wat Tam Suea in Krabi, South Thailand. Wat tam Suea is also known as the "Tiger Temple" because of the tiger cave there. This temple was originally a place where Bhikkhus (monks) would stay to practise in the cave and surrounding Jungle - because of the faith instilling practise of the monks, the place slowly became famous and a place of reverence. The great number of sacred shrines, relics and places of worship here adds to the sacredness of this amulet when you consider the amount of Dhamma being practised here
The temple then developed naturally until it became the world famous place it is today. LP Jamnian is renowned for his Dhamma teachings and travels around the world to the many "samnak" (centres) he has in many western countries, teaching the Dhamma. His amulets are considered very powerful. The temple is now in a further stage of develpment with the building of a massive Chedi spire (Stupa) which is so high that you can see it from many miles away. The temple has a giant Buddha statue (see pics at bottom of this post), on the top of the mountain which the temple is shadowed by, visible from up to 40 kilometres away. The stairs leading up to the top have 1200 steps to get there!

These amulets have a special unbreakable cement mixture you can throw one at the wall and it will not break! I personally met the maker of the amulets and he gave me the recipe which i was honored to recieve. This is his secret tecipe and i have to keep it sevret. He gave it to me because he knows of my plan to make amulets in the future when i have collected all the necessary sacred ingredients for it. This Tiger amulet from Wat tam Suea is now out of stock in the temple and there are no more left. I have only one example, which is the one you see here.
The rear side of the amulet has the image of LP Jamnian on it surrounded by sacred Khmer Agkhara letters, sacred Unalome spires and the famous "Yant Gao Metta" of LP Jamnian.
Yant Gao Metta is a spiral with nine rings to it - Gao meaning "Nine" and Metta meaning "Loving Kindness and compassion" - this increases the charm factor of the amulet making it useful both for protection and lucky charm and fortune. Nine is a sacred and lucky number in Buddhism. The goldd painted tiger face on the front has the number nine inscribed on its tongue too, which will give the power of "lin tong" (golden tongue) - Gonden Tongue means that you will be a good salesperson and convincing in your sales pitch.

The temple has many opportunities of practising dhamma and dhamma retreats - and provides a host of different nooks and crannies where you can find a place to sit and meditate, and practise.
There is also a shrine with Buddha relics to worship - i myself did this and felt a very powerful and pure energy emitting from the Shrine.
