Pra Gru of the Buddha in Pah Lae Lai position (sitting) - very ancient, estimated around 300 years old. This amulet was passed down by a family lineage in the North of Thailand. The amulet is in almost perfect condition except for a very small damage recieved sometime in its long lifetime on the righ hand edge of the amulet. A genuine antique piece of Sacred Thai Buddhist Art, a genuine article of faith and protection for the Buddhist, as well as an essential rarity for collectors.

This is the Buddha atributed to people born on a Wednesday Evening.

This Bpaang is of the Buddha sitting on a rock under a tree and called "Bpaang Welaalai"; His hands are outstretched recieving offerings from two animals. The Elephant is offering him water to drink, and the Monkey is offering him a beehive full of Honey.
In the City of Kosambi, there were two Bhikkhus staying in the same temple - one of them whose name was Vinayadhara was very faithful to the Vinaya (Buddhist Canonical law of precept keeping), and the other whose name was Dhammadhara, was extremely dedicated to the art of teaching the Dhamma as his main reference of practise. Both of them had a great number of disciples. One day Pra Dhammadhara used the bathing area and forgot to replace the water in the receptacle for bathing and left it nearly empty. When Pra Vinayadhara saw this he scolded Pra Dhammadhara for his negligence. Pra Dhammadhara then apologised and made the necessary prostrations to make up for his negligence. After he had left the scene, Pra Vinayadhara began gossiping with the disciples that Pra Dhammadhara had made a transgression and didn't even regret it or show penance. When Pra Dhammadhara heard the gossip, he became angry and went to Pra Vinayadhamma and asked him why he was lying about him? Surely it was true that Pra Dhammadhara had already paid his penance and shown regret for his negligence! Why then, should Pra Vinayadhara tell such false tales? The two Bhikkhus began to argue heatedly, causing even their disciples to get involved with the argument. When the Buddha saw this, he went to try to calm the two Bhikkhus, teaching them that peacefulness and mutual support is the way, not to quarrel and disrespect each other and fight. But the two Bhikkhus were so blind that they refused to listen to the Buddha and told him to leave them alone and mind his own business. The Buddha then saw that it was not possible to make them listen, and called Moghalana to help. When Moghalana was also unable to make them listen, the local people lost their faith in the Sangha and threw the Almsbowls over and refused to make further food offerings to Monks. This argument was historical and caused a massive negativity towards Buddhism and the Buddhist faith because of these two Bhikkhus.

The Buddha entered the forest in total disappointment, and it was there, without any hope of people coming to make any more offerings of alms and food, that the Elephant Parilayaka and the Monkey offered him alms, for there were no people making offerings any more.
The creation of this Buddha Image was made as a warning to remember to be Mutually helpful and compassionate to each other, and not to cause trouble and argue, which is directly destructive towards the Buddhasasana.
