Rian Medal Luangphor Khao
Wat Tham Khlong Phaen
Year : B.E 2521 ( 1977 )

“LP Khao – True Spiritual Warrior”

The medallion of Luang Pu Khao Analayo was also created as a follow up to the great ceremony of consecrating the medallions of Luang Pu Waen Sujinno Roon Tun Klao C.E. (Chula Era) 1338 on the 11th of December B.E.2519, also to be presented to the King. The medals of Luang Pu Waen were so popular that they were completely distributed to the people and many devotees swore by the amulets for their miracles. As the words and experiences spread, many people who missed out on Luang Pu Waen’s medals wanted them and in answer to the people’s request, the medals of Luang Pu Khao were also created for this purpose.

The council members responsible for this project initially had to convene in a meeting to decide on which Buddhist master’s image should be used. The criteria was that the Guru monk must be of high reverence by the public, who lives his monastic life diligently and observing the precepts, does charitable works and propagates Buddhism, is of compassionate nature and of high Dhamma practice and most importantly undistracted by city life. It is natural that the general public will think of the great meditation master Acharn Mun Bhuridatto and the choice was narrowed down to his disciple Luang Pu Khao Analayo.

Even though at the age of 92 when the medals were consecrated, Luang Pu Khao was mindful at all times and his practice showed through his actions. It was believed that at the time nobody else could match Luang Pu Khao in terms of his mindfulness and high meditation practice. It was decided that Luang Pu Khao’s image was to be used for the medallions since he was widely accepted by the public as a great master of his time.

There were only 2 types of materials used, namely Nur Thong Kam (gold) and Nur Nawak (9-metal alloy). There were 2 upmoulds which were created, Phim Yai (large) and Phim Lek (small). 29 guru monks who were also very popular were invited to inscribe sacred scripts (Yantra) on the metal sheets before they were to be melted and reproduced for the minting process (with specific regards to the Nur Nawak pieces) between the years B.E.2519 to B.E.2521.
