What Is the "Big Deer" Phra Narimit Chok?

Phra Phuttha Narimit Chok (พระพุทธนฤมิตรโชค) is LP Jaran's most celebrated amulet. The "Big Deer" mold (พิมพ์กวางใหญ่ / Pim Kwang Yai) features Buddha in the Maravichai posture — right hand touching the earth, left hand resting on the lap — the moment of enlightenment when Siddhartha defeated Mara's armies. Below the throne, a pair of deer symbolizes Sarnath (สารนาถ), where the Buddha delivered his first sermon. A halo of Bodhi leaves radiates behind the figure.

About Luang Phor Jaran

Luang Phor Jaran Thitadhammo (B.E. 2471–2559 / 1928–2016) served as abbot of Wat Amphawan in Singburi Province for nearly 60 years. Ordained in B.E. 2491, he transformed a dilapidated rural temple into one of Thailand's foremost Vipassana meditation centers. His "Law of Karma" (กฎแห่งกรรม) teachings drew hundreds of thousands of devotees. He passed away on January 25, 2016, at age 87. His amulets are prized for powerful protection, fortune reversal, and authority enhancement.

The 16 Sacred Ingredients

LP Jaran personally traveled across Thailand to collect 16 types of historically and spiritually significant materials: millionaire's ore from Kamphaeng Phet fortress, sky-axe ore from Singburi, Phra Ruang rice-grain ore from Sukhothai, conch ore from Phothiprathap Chang, hero-camp incense brick from Bang Rachan, termite mound clay from Singburi's pagoda temple, ancient teak powder from Nakhon Ratchasima, and sacred powders from ancient pagoda crypts across multiple provinces.

Blessings

Supreme Protection: The Maravichai posture itself symbolizes victory over all obstacles
Fortune Reversal: Transforms bad luck into opportunity
Wealth & Career: Enhances authority, attracts prosperity
Evil Repulsion: Guards home and person against negative energy

Disclaimer: Benefits are rooted in Thai Buddhist tradition and vary by individual.

Craftsmanship

The front depicts Buddha in full Maravichai posture with layered Bodhi-leaf halo and clearly defined deer motifs at the base. The clay surface shows a warm ochre-to-sienna tone with over 55 years of natural patina. The reverse bears the temple name stamp and — most remarkably — embedded fibers from LP Jaran's personal robe and strands of his hair, directly infusing decades of the master's accumulated merit into the piece. Protected in a transparent waterproof case with cord for immediate wearing.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between Big Deer and Small Deer molds?

A: Big Deer (กวางใหญ่) shows Buddha in meditation/Maravichai posture with larger deer motifs. Small Deer (กวางเล็ก) shows Buddha in blessing posture with smaller deer. Both were made in the same batch. Big Deer commands higher collector value due to its commanding presence.

Q: Why are robe fibers and hair on the reverse so significant?

A: A monk's robe and hair are the most personal items tied to decades of practice. Embedding them creates a direct spiritual bond between the master and the wearer — an exceptionally rare feature reserved for special editions.

Q: How old is this piece?

A: Made in B.E. 2513 (1970 CE), this piece is over 55 years old — a genuine half-century antique sacred object.

Q: Why is it priced at $1,800?

A: LP Jaran is a top-tier Thai master. The Big Deer is his most iconic work. At 55+ years old with embedded robe and hair, surviving pieces in good condition trade well above this price in the Thai domestic market. This is a one-of-a-kind offering.

In 1970, the abbot of a once-crumbling temple in Singburi Province created what would become one of the most sought-after Thai amulets of the 20th century. Luang Phor Jaran (หลวงพ่อจรัญ ฐิตธมฺโม) of Wat Amphawan (วัดอัมพวัน) personally gathered 16 types of sacred materials from across Thailand and poured them — along with fibers from his own robe and strands of his hair — into the Big Deer Maravichai. 1. The Man Who Rebuilt a Temple and Taught a Nation Born August 15, 1928 in Singburi, LP Jaran was ordained in 1948 and appointed acting abbot of Wat Amphawan in 1957. The temple was in ruins. Over the next six decades, he transformed it into one of Thailand's most important Vipassana meditation centers. His "Law of Karma" retreats drew hundreds of thousands. He passed away on January 25, 2016, leaving behind a spiritual legacy that continues to shape Thai Buddhism. 2. Why Deer? The Sarnath Connection The deer at the base of this amulet aren't decorative — they reference Sarnath (สารนาถ), the deer park where Siddhartha Gautama delivered his first teaching after enlightenment. In Buddhist iconography, the deer represents the moment dharma first entered the world. LP Jaran chose this symbol deliberately: a prayer that the power of this amulet would spread like the Buddha's first words — far, wide, and transformative. 3. A Journey Across Thailand for 16 Sacred Ingredients LP Jaran didn't delegate the materials. He traveled personally to collect 16 historically charged substances: millionaire's ore from a Kamphaeng Phet fortress, sky-axe ore from Singburi, ancient rice-grain ore from Sukhothai's Phra Ruang era, incense brick from the legendary Bang Rachan warrior camp, termite-mound clay from Singburi's pagoda temple, ancient teak from Nakhon Ratchasima, and sacred powders from pagoda crypts across multiple provinces. Each ingredient carries its own historical weight. 4. The Robe and the Hair — A Master's Most Personal Gift What sets this particular piece apart is what lies on the reverse: fibers from LP Jaran's own monastic robe and strands of his hair. In Thai tradition, these are the most intimate objects a monk possesses — saturated with decades of daily chanting, meditation, and accumulated merit. Embedding them into an amulet is the most direct way a master can transfer his spiritual power. It is rare, personal, and irreplaceable. 5. Fifty-Five Years and Counting • Created B.E. 2513 (1970) — over 55 years of history • LP Jaran passed in 2016 — no new consecrations possible • Big Deer is the undisputed "flagship" of his amulet legacy • Robe-and-hair versions are exceptionally scarce • This is the only piece available — once gone, gone forever 6. The Merit Messenger Promise Every antique piece at Merit Messenger is sourced directly through our Bangkok network of temples and senior collectors. We stand behind this piece with our 10x refund authenticity guarantee. Last updated: 2026-06-23 | Curated by the Merit Messenger team (Bangkok-based)
