Luang Pu Liew Pannako (หลวงปู่หลิว ปณฺณโก, 1905–2000), abbot of Wat Rai Tang Thong, Nakhon Pathom, is the legendary master of the Phaya Tao Ruean (giant turtle) lineage. This pressed-clay tablet was consecrated at his 88th birthday ceremony in B.E. 2536 (1993) — a batch where monk-likeness and sacred turtle appear together, each face amplifying the other's blessing. The Life of Luang Pu Liew Born Liew Sae-Tang in Ratchaburi Province in B.E. 2448 (1905), Luang Pu Liew came from a Teochew Chinese farming family. He ordained at 27, receiving the name Pannako ("the complete one"). He studied under Luang Phor Daeng of Wat Khao Bandai It (Phetchaburi) and mastered the Phaya Tao Ruean turtle lineage from Ajarn Yon of Ban Kong Yai. He founded Wat Rai Tang Thong in B.E. 2525 (1982) and passed away peacefully on September 4, B.E. 2543 (2000), aged 95 with 74 rains retreats. The Phaya Tao Ruean Tradition In Thai and Sino-Thai belief, the Phaya Tao Ruean (พญาเต่าเรือน) is the supreme talisman for longevity, protection, and accumulated wealth. Luang Pu Liew became so identified with this symbol that a monumental 8.5-metre bronze statue of him riding the turtle stands at Wat Rai Tang Thong today, drawing thousands of pilgrims annually. The Consecration of This Piece The Roon Sae-Yid batch was created to mark Luang Pu Liew's 88th year — "Sae-Yid" being the Teochew Chinese word for 88, doubly auspicious. In B.E. 2536 (1993), Luang Pu Liew personally chanted over each tablet during a special ceremony, imbuing the front monk-likeness with his meditation merit and the reverse turtle with the full Phaya Tao Ruean yantra sequences he had mastered over a lifetime. Why This Is Scarce • Roon Sae-Yid was a one-time commemorative edition — not a regular production batch • Luang Pu Liew passed away in 2000 — supply of all his amulets is permanently fixed • The dual-face design (monk-likeness + turtle) is unique among his pressed-clay works • Over 30 years old — well-preserved pieces in original cases are increasingly rare The Merit Messenger Promise We are based in Bangkok and source every piece directly from temples or trusted long-term collectors. This piece comes with an official Merit Messenger Certificate of Authenticity (No. P05149 / GJ05-6D6DF), issued 12 May B.E. 2569, dual-signed, with a QR code for instant verification. One piece only — if you feel the connection, this is the moment. Last updated: 27 May 2026 | Merit Messenger Team (Bangkok-based)
