Thai Amulet Phra Somdej B.E.2519 LPSuang Pendant Description Model : Phra Somdej LP Suang From: LP Suang Temple: Wat Prai Pattanaram, Srisake Size : 2.5 x 4.0 cm.(Approx.) Year : 2519 B.E. A very unique amulet, one that is not easily forgotten, I am certainly not aware of any other amulets with a similar design. It is said, make a week of reverence, and receive the power of Metta Mahaniyom. Make 2 weeks reverence, and receive the power of Choke Laap, bringing favourable sales , wealth and fortune. Make three weeks of reverence, and you will receive the power of Siang Choke, bringing luck in all forms of gambling. Luang Phor Suang - A Fortune Angel on Earth Luang Phor Suang - The 500 year old monk (Wat Prai Pattanaram, Seasgate) Even Luang Phor Rith, Wat Chonpratan, who knew him had said that he would mysteriously appear and disappear, and that despite having known him for decades he never appeared to age. Once he had asked the age of Luang Phor Suang who replied that he was not Luang Phor Suang of legend. How one would interpret this response is open to debate, but clearly it was information that he either considered irrelevant or did not wish to impart. Others have asked a similar question which resulted in a simple but silent response. LP Suang once delivered a dhamma lesson in which he had said that one should forget the past, as it could never be retrieved, but concentrate on the future. This may in some way explain his own thoughts about the question of age and relevance to life. It is not surprising that he was thought of as being special, in fact so special some have claimed that he may be a “Pra Upakut”, an immortal sacred monk. Speculation and debate continues, even after his death.

A good example would be the occasion that he was invited to bless a recently opened business.

His full name was Luang Poo Suang Oi Tiansul, the words Oi Tiansul loosely translated from the original Khmer language meant “to give and be happy” a name that he truly deserved as he had dedicated his life to this very purpose. It was said that he had never refused to help anyone who had asked. Even from those he had never met. He did not discriminate in any way, his hand was extended to those that needed him, the rich, the poor, it made no difference. Luang Poo Suang had always told his followers that in life, giving was true happiness something that he continues top do until his dying breath. His simple existence and unwavering dedication to helping others was sufficient proof to many that he had obtained the highest possible level of Lord Buddha’s Dharma, and as such was regarded as and an “Arahant”. or “Pra Arahantra”. Those that had given alms to this great monk considered their lives eternally blessed. One of his other nicknames given him by local villagers was Luk Au Poh, a Khmer word meaning ascetic, because he lived an existence that can only be described as mysterious, even to the extent that he lived his entire life alone in a small dwelling at the jungle edge. Those that knew him had said that he would mysteriously disappear and reappear often for months on end, his exact whereabouts, totally unknown. Even those seriously devoted to this monk who had attempted to follow him would loose contact as he would disappear under the most inexplicable circumstances.
