The price for a LP Kaew Pidta is now very steep, you may pay up to Baht 5,000,000-10,000,000 (5-10 millions) for a good-conditioned item. But the above LP Parn's Pidta is a best substitution and a best option, with so much cheaper in price, for smart or professional collectors 

LP KAEW'S HOLY CHALKS: 

In the old time there were no chalks sold yet, LP Kaew who was also a teacher for monk students had to made chalks by himself and blessed them before using. While he was teaching, Khom scripts were written on the blackboard. When the scripts on the blackboard was erased, the chalk dust would fell onto the receptacle rail. The chalk dust was related to Buddhistic Mantra, Sutra, Buddhas' names, and Arahants' names, so it was the utmost sacred powder by its nature.

The chalk dust was gathered and kept by LP Kaew to make holy chalk and it was blessed once again after the making processes was finished. When LP Kaew was making his Pidtas, the holy chalk had been brought to grind for fine powder and mixed into the paste mixture.

Later, many pieces of LP Kaew's holy chalk were found in Wat Kruawan's Chedi in early 2490s. Some of the holy chalk was kept by LP Buay, the then Abbot, and LP Parn. Both LP Buay and LP Parn were LP Dhan's disciples and also were LP Kaew's lineage disciples of the 3rd generation. 

LP Parn who made and blessed the Pidta was born in B.E. 2441. He was seriously ill and in the near-to-death condition when he was young, his father went to Wat Kruawan and brought back LP Kaew's holy water to feed him. It's so amazing that he was recovered and get well a few days after that.

LP Parn ordained in B.E. 2462 and learned incantation and Pidta making from LP Dhan and also learned with a great teacher--LP Yie of Wat Sattaheep. LP Parn passed away in B.E. 2517 at the age of 76.  

MIRACULOUS EVENT ON LP KAEW'S HOLY POWDER:

LP Kaew's holy powder is extremely efficacious for Maha Metta and Maha Saneh, it's aware that even a molecule should never be touched to a lady !! Yes, it's tabooed to lady !!     

An event recounted for a long time ago in among Wat Kruawan's followers :-

A novice was assigned to grind LP Kaew's holy powder for a Pidta making occasion, at that time a niece of LP Dhan came over to pay respect to his uncle (LP Dhan). LP Dhan ordered the novice to bring a cup of tea for the lady guest.

Beyond expectation, the novice hands has contaminated with LP Kaew's holy powder dust. After the lady drank that cup of tea, she never wanted to move and go back home but sat at that place until night-- waiting for the novice!!.

LP Dhan realized that the novice had not washed his hand before serving the cup of tea. LP Dhan told his niece sitting before him and then he chanted a Katha to neutralize the holy powder's activeness in the lady's body.

LP Dhan was a close disciple of LP Kaew, he later became the Abbot of Wat Kruawan in B.E.2445 after LP Jaem.
