Miraculous Incidents (as reported by “Uncle Chana Yangkha Kheem”):
During one of the ceremonies:
After the other monks had ended their chanting, only Luang Por Mui remained in deep samādhi. Upon emerging, he forcefully struck both hands on his knees. Instantly, the amulets in front of him jumped into the air and scattered outward in all directions—a phenomenon witnessed by all present.
Luang Por Mui then reached out mid-air, grabbed some amulets, placed them in his bag and quietly left the hall.
The senior monks followed his example, each collecting a handful of amulets from the exact spot where the phenomenon had occurred.
This batch is also referred to as Seua Dam “Khun Paen Black Panther Division Batch” due to its strong historical and military ties.
Phra Phalat Thawi (creator) was a fully ordained disciple who received direct transmission of magical knowledge from Luang Por Mui and maintained traditional styles and formulas faithfully throughout the creation.
This batch of Phra Khun Paen has long been renowned among collectors and has remained highly popular for decades.
