The Blood Consecration of LP Samchai

Recently we visited a up and coming Wicha master, LP Samchai of Wat Dongradee, Ang Thong to chow his amulets and Lersi buchas. His temple was not really a temple, but a small shrine and kuti in a rice field. So LP was in need of funds to build up his temple. On conversing with him, I learned that he was of Chinese Teochew descent and could speak the dialect. He told me in Teochew some story of a Bangkok guy wearing his takrut escaping from a gang attack unhurt. So after chowing the amulets and the Phra Lersi Prom bucha (above left), I asked LP to rebless the bucha for me. Never did we expect him to show us his power by using his own blood to do the consecration!

The rest of the consecration pics. At the end of the ceremony, LP gave each of us free tiger rians, but our driver was too shocked to take his.. so I ended up with 2 rians on top of what I already chowed. I've seen a lot in Thai Buddhism, but it was also the first time for me witnessing this kind of ceremony up close. I was filled with a mixture of shock as well as awe for this master.
The blood and wax stained Phra Lersi Prom 5" bucha.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. For over two years, I relied on Levodopa and several other medications, but unfortunately, the symptoms kept getting worse. The tremors became more noticeable, and my balance and mobility started to decline quickly. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic.
Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My movements became smoother, the tremors subsided, and I felt steadier on my feet. Incredibly, I also regained much of my energy and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve felt in years.If you or a loved one is struggling with Parkinson’s disease, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.
