This amulet was released from Wat Phra That Doi Suthep temple - The original founding of the temple remains a legend. The temple is said to have been founded in 1926 (BE 1383) when the first stupa was built. There was a Buddhist monk from Sukhothai very well-versed in the Tripitaka (the Three Baskets of Buddhist scripture) whose name was Phra Maha Sumana Thera. According to legend, one night when Phra Maha Sumana Thera was sleeping, he dreams of a devata (heavenly being). In this vision, he was told to go to the city of Pang Cha to look for a relic of the Buddha. Sumana Thera headed to the town of Pang Cha on the road to Sukhothai. On arrival at the site, he erected a shelter. When evening came, Phra Maha Sumana Thera paid his obeisances to all sacred things and chanted his prayers in the ritual shelter and found an urn. Inside of that, he found the relic, having a beautiful gold colour and the size of a green pea.

When Phra Sumana Thera took the relic to King Lithai in Si Satchanalai, he was very impressed. He ordered the building of a pavilion just for the relic. The news of the discovery of the relic and its miraculous display spread throughout the nearby towns. King Thammaracha who ruled Sukhothai grew so interested, and he wanted to see it, so he went to Si Satchanalai to request that Phra Sumana Thera and the relic come to Sukhothai. He then told Phra Sumana Thera to take care of the relic. In 1367, the sixth king of the Mengrai Dynasty of Lanna, King Kuna, heard of the relic and ordered Phra Sumana Thera to bring it to him. With King Thammaracha permission, Phra Sumana Thera took the relic of what is now Lamphun, in northern Thailand.

Once there, the relic broke into two pieces. The smaller part was enshrined in a temple in Wat Suan Dok. The other piece was placed by the king on the back of a white elephant and prayed: “If the place where the elephant stopped will be the appropriate place for preserving the holy relic there”. The elephant is said to have climbed up Doi Suthep and stopped. The auspicious white elephant, after completing its task of taking the holy relic to the place where it would be housed, died on top of that hill. To preserve the memory of this elephant, the temple built a status of the elephant in this place, so that future generations would be able to know how the temple of Doi Suthep originated.
