Live from the Ceremony – Grand Buddha Image Consecration of Luang Pu Tuad Amulets at Wat Mai Thung Na Luang
Wat Mai Thung Na Luang in Roi Et Province consecrated blessed Luang Pu Tuad amulets on May 10 to fund construction of a massive 19-meter statue, the largest in the province. Seven types of amulets priced from 199 to 999 baht are being sold
On Sunday, May 10, 2026, Phra Phrom Wachirsopon (Luang Pu Srichan Punnyarato), regional ecclesiastical advisor and abbot of Wat Bung Phra Laan Chai, presided over the ceremonial candle lighting at the grand Buddha image consecration ceremony for Luang Pu Tuad amulets at Wat Mai Thung Na Luang. The temple's abbot, Phra Kru Sutnava Khettakosol, joined with local and visiting Buddhists for the ceremony at Wat Mai Thung Na Luang in Roi Et Province.
Abbot Phra Kru Sutnava explained that the temple had previously initiated the construction of a large Luang Pu Tuad statue measuring 12.99 meters wide and 19 meters tall—the largest in Roi Et Province—with the foundation stone ceremony held in February 2025, presided over by Roi Et Governor Chatchawal Benjsiriwong. Due to substantial construction costs, the temple committee decided to produce blessed Luang Pu Tuad amulets in various materials to support fundraising efforts.
The temple commissioned master amulet craftsman Thanakorn Chanthayotha of Roi Et to oversee production, with support from Phra Subhakorn Sukgamo and committee members Vichai Bunyindie and Vichai Upmiyaram. The amulet series includes seven types: 39 special sacred powder amulets at 999 baht each; 25,000 large powder amulets at 199 baht each; 25,000 small powder amulets at 199 baht each; 2,569 mineral amulets at 399 baht each; 2,569 giant's ash powder amulets at 399 baht each; 5,069 blackened brass amulets at 499 baht each; and 2,569 special herbal oil-soaked amulets distributed free to attendees.
Proceeds from amulet sales will fund construction of the massive Luang Pu Tuad statue at Wat Mai Thung Na Luang, providing a spiritual focal point for devotees throughout Roi Et Province and nationwide. Vichai Bunyindie, the temple's lay administrator, expressed gratitude to all participating organizations and acknowledged the presiding monks, particularly Luang Pu Srichan Punnyarato, for their guidance and blessings.
