What is the Luang Pu Liew wealth turtle, Suk Jai batch (Rian Tao Ruean Luang Pu Liew Run Suk Jai)?
The wealth turtle (พญาเต่าเรือน / Phaya Tao Ruean) is the signature practice of Luang Pu Liew Pannako (หลวงปู่หลิว ปณฺณโก). In Thai belief the turtle stands for long life, stability and a secure household, so his turtle-shaped amulets, with the master on the shell and a yantra on the underside, are worn for steady income, keeping what you earn, and safety.
"รุ่นสุขใจ" (Suk Jai) means "a happy, contented heart". This piece is red copper (เนื้อทองแดง), issued in B.E. 2537 by Wat Rai Taeng Thong (วัดไร่แตงทอง) in Nakhon Pathom.
