Rien Gold Plated LP Koon, Wat Banrai, BE 2536, Narkon RachasimaLuang Phor Koon was born on Thursday, 4th October BE2466. He was raised in a well off family. His grandfather was an influential person and very well-known in Nakon Raatchaseemah province. He is known to have Wichah (magic power) and many people were afraid of him. When Luang Phor Koon was 7 years old, his grandfather brought him to study Thai and Pali under Ah Jahn Cheum, Ah Jahn Saai and Pra Ah Jahn Lee in a temple near his house.Luang Phor Koon was ordained as a monk at the age of 21 years old at Wat Thanon HakYai on 5th May BE2487. Pra Kru Wijahn Dtigit was the preceptor. Pra Kru Atigahn Torng Suk was his dhamma teacher. His monk's name is Pisuttoh.Luang Phor Koon stayed in Wat Thanon HakYai to study dhamma, in addition Luang Phor Koon also studied under Luang Daeng Wat Nong Poh. He learned dhamma, sammahdti and Wichah (magic) from Luang Phor Daeng. Luang Phor Koon was very diligent when studying under Luang Phor Daeng. Seeing that Luang Phor Koon was so keen to learn, Luang Phor Daeng brought Luang Phor Koon to meet Luang Phor Kong who was the abbot of Wat HatYai. Then, Luang Phor Koon became the disciple of Luang Phor Kong.Luang Phor Kong was a Pra Tudong (forest monk) and brought Luang Phor Koon to Tudong (forest dwelling). Besides dhamma and sammahdti, Luang Phor Kong also taught Luang Phor Koon Wichah (magic) on inserting Dtagru into a person's arm.After learning from Luang Phor Kong for some time, Luang Phor Koon journeyed on Tudong alone. He went as far as Laos and Cambodia. He stayed in the deep forests of Laos and Cambodia for many years. During the rainy season, if Luang Phor Koon was near town, he would stay in any one of the temples near Khow Pansah (rainy season for a monk to stay indoors).Luang Phor Koon returned to Thailand after more than 10 years of Tudong, and resided at Wat Bahn Rai, Nakon Raatchaseemah. The first time, Luang Phor Koon came to Wat Bahn Rai, the temple was in very poor condition. There was only an old Salah (shether), Bot (hall) and Guti (place where Buddha Statue will be placed). Seeing this, Luang Phor Koon became determined to re-build this temple. He approached the abbot of the temple at that time, and asked him for his help. The abbot told him that the temple had very little funds (only 10,000 baht) and asked Luang Phor Koon how much money he needed to re-build the temple. Luang Phor Koon replied that he needed 3 to 4 million baht. When the abbot heard that, he said that he had no ability to help, though it was his duty. Luang Phor Koon, then asked the villagers and his lay disciples to provide funds. Many people came forward and helped. The total collected was almost 2 million baht and Wat Bahn Rai was re-built.Luang Phor Koon was gradually gaining popularity in Nakon Raatchaseemah. Whenever, people heard Luang Phor Koon wanted to build a temple or a school, many people would come forward to help. Luang Phor Koon had built many schools, temples and hospitals in Nakon Raachaseemah.The devotees who go to Wat Bahn Rai are both rich and poor. Luang Phor Koon would meet them all personally and bless them. He would especially make time for the poor devotees, because to Luang Phor Koon, the poor need to earn a living, and thus their time is more precious comparing to the rich who have a stable livelihood.Luang Phor Koon chanted the most amulets in Thailand. Many temples and people would create the amulets and ask him to bless. He seldom rejected anyone who came to him for blessings. Luang Phor Koon is very good in the Wichah of inserting DtaGru. He would personally insert the Dtagru under the arm of the devotees. These Dtagru are well proven to protect a person from accidents, provide Metta and Kong Grapan (immunity from weapons).For almost 20 years, Luang Phor Koon had chanted and inserted Dtagru, but now Luang Phor Koon has stopped due to poor health. However, he will still meet and bless the devotees who go to Wat Bahn Rai to pay respect to him.Please bid/pu... read more
