Puttapisek Empowerment
16th August 2552 BE (76th Birthday of LP Tong Kam Intawaso)

Luang Por Poon (Wat Ban Paen, Ayuttaya), Luang Por Maen (Wat Na Tang Nok, Ayuttaya), Luang Por Uean (Wat Wang Daeng Dtai, Ayuttaya), Luang Por Sanaeh Jantr (Wat Jantrangsri, Khon Gaen), and 4 Master Monks from Wat Rakang Kositaram (names not available).
Ony 276 amulets of each of the three kinds made in Gammagarn Version were made.
5.6 Centimeters High and 3.7 Centimeters wide. Comes without case.
LP Tong Kam is a learned Master and Practitioner who incorporates all important aspects of Thai Buddhism into his amulets and in addition, maintains the quality of Buddhist Art and Religious Artifact making to the same standards of the past, and does not allow the advance of the modern age to influence his interpretation of the content of the amulets.
This amulet for example, is a perfect example of how Thai Buddhism is interwoven with the Brahman belief in Deities and the Animist traditions that were surely already here before the advent of Buddhism. The Buddha shows Buddhism, and the Dharani Deity shows Brahmanism.
The beauty of it all is, that none of these three belief systems can be offended in any manner by these three images being put together, because they all fit together in harmony and do not contest each others existence.
