When Luang Poo Suk was 10 years old, his mother sent him to GrungTep(Bangkok) to be raised by his uncle. Luang Poo Suk remained in GrungTep until he got married to a very beautiful woman who bored him a son. When Luang Poo Suk reached the age for ordain, he went to Wat PohTorngLahng and was ordained as a monk. His preceptor was Pra UPaChaYaCui JanNaTaSiRi. His ordain's name was called GeSaRoh. Luang Poo Suk studied Dhamma and Sammahdti at Wat PohTorngLahng until he was ready to go Tudung. He met many teachers during his Tudung and he learned Wichah(magic) from them. One of the teachers who taught him Wichah was Pra Ah Jahn ThumWuaDaeng. Pra Ah Jahn ThumWuaDaeng was also the teacher who has ever taught Luang Por Ngern Wat Bahng Klahn Jangwat PiJit, who was famous for his Pra Pidtah Pim Khee Dtah. Luang Poo Suk went back to his hometown after many years in Tudung. His parents who has waited many years for his return, asked Luang Poo Suk to remain at Pahk Klorng MaKhamTow. Luang Poo Suk obeyed his parents and stayed at Pahk Klorng MaKhamTow until he became the abbot of the village's temple; Wat Pahk Klorng MaKhamTow. Luang Poo Suk rebuilt Wat Pahk Klorng MaKhamTow, from a small village temple to a large and beautiful temple. Luang Poo Suk has many disciples, both ordained and lay disciples. One of his lay disciple who was very close to Luang Poo Suk was GromLuangChumPron KhetUDomSak who was the son of the 4th King. Luang Poo Suk taught him everything he knew about Dhamma and Wichah. Luang Poo Suk was very famous for his Wichah. One of his abilties was that he could change the sizes and shapes of an object. There was one day, an large group of merchants, stopped by at Wat Pahk Klorng MaKhamTow to rest. During those days, merchants used elephants as a mean of transport as well as to carry their goods. While the merchants wanted to cook their meals at the temple, but realised that they did not bring along enough meat. Some of the villagers, jokingly asked them why don't they use their rifles to shoot at the pigeons at the temple, so that they could have pigeon meat for their dinner. One of the merchants took the joke seriously, and started to fire his rifle at the pigeon, but the rifle failed to fire. The villagers stopped him, and told him that Luang Poo Suk prohibit anyone to kill living things in the temple. That merchant refused to listen and seeing that the rifle failed to fire, he raised his cross-bow and fire the arrow at the pigeon. The arrow flied off, but dropped at a short distance, without hitting the pigeon. This merchant became very angry and started to shout: "The abbot of this temple has what great power?" Luang Poo Suk as if he could hear the merchant from his KuTi(hut) far away, he came out from his kuti with hands carrying an empty coconut husk. Luang Poo Suk went to the gazing field. He chanted a certain kathah on to the coconut husk, and then point towards the direction where the merchants' elephants were gazing. Miraculously, the elephants were reduced into houseflies and Luang Poo Suk covered the houseflies with the empty coconut husk. The next morning, when the merchants were to set off their journey, they could not find their elephants. They quckly went to Luang Poo Suk and told him that their elephants have been stolen. Luang Poo Suk preached them precept of not killing of living beings: "If you kill a living being, the living being will feel pain. This is similar to the pain of losing your elephants." Luang Poo Suk taught them the Dhamma and asked them to practise good deeds instead of bad deeds. The merchant then realised that it was Luang Poo Suk who was behind the strange happenings the previous day. Luang Poo Suk led them out from his Kuti and went to the gazing field. Luang Poo Suk chanted a kathah and removed the coconut husk and the houseflies turned into elephant one more time. This ability to change objects into different sizes and shapes was one of Luang Poo Suk Wichah. He has never taught any person this Wichah, except GromLuangChumPron, his favourite lay disciple and GromLuangChumPron has never taught anyone until he passed away on the same year as Luang Poo Suk.

何是“三好”( Collecting Amulet Knowledge )

按照泰國人選擇及恭請聖物的規矩，完美的聖物需由“三好”條件所構成。（請仔細看以下的資料）

1. 第一好；聖物需由“好高僧”進行製造。

如何基本地調查該位製造聖物的高僧是否夠好﹗首先，需要詢問當地善信。若是真正的好高僧，一定會有不少當地的善信崇拜他。

注意﹗有不少特別在佛牌報刊長期做廣告而漸漸有名的所謂高僧（半真半假），若是詢問該位高僧所住持寺廟附近的民眾，常常發現無人知曉該位高僧的名節。此類高僧所製的聖物，推出市場時常伴隨著廣告，但過了一段時間之後，沒有了廣告的支持，就再也沒有人願意收藏和恭請，而且會發現已恭請過及配戴過的善信，會將當初此些聖物便宜賣出或四處亂扔。這真是奇怪的聖物啊﹗

２．第二好；好聖物需要經過“好的製造儀式”而完成。

也就是說，製造聖物的每一階段過程，都需按照傳統的製造方法，而且此過程，皆需由高僧親自管理而督作。　

注意﹗數十年以來，市場上新推出的聖物，大多數皆是在工廠裡大量開模製造而完成，而且製造儀式的每一階段過程中，皆與高僧無關（高僧並未親自管理而督作）。

３．第三好；製造聖物必須具有“好的目的”。

也就是說，製作與出售聖物所賺來的金錢，應該使用於利益眾生與功德之事，例如；修繕佛塔、修繕廟牆、建築學校、修補馬路、製造佛像等等。

並不是落入某人的口袋或錢包裡。注意﹗目前百分之九十以上的新推出聖物，可說皆是某人、某老闆或某佛牌中心，在幕後出錢製造的，他們雇用工廠大量生產，並廣做廣告，利用高僧之名氣而推出聖物於佛牌市場，此類聖物泰國，人們稱為“老闆聖物”。

據說缺少第三好條件的聖物，將不會得到天上的佛祖、龍波師傅們及神仙們的保佑

Achan Nong

Wat Sai Khao is located in Changwat Pattani Province, Thailand and is a Maha Nikai Buddhist Temple.

Wat Sai Khao was built in B.E. 2300 and the temple's old church was built in B.E.2478. There are two Nikai or sects of Buddhism in Thailand namely Maha Nikai and Hinayan Nikai, most of the temples in Thailand are Hinayan Nikai temples.

According to the history of Wat Sai Khao, Mr.Peng or Than Pakdichumpol, who moved from Sraiburi (now part of Malaysia), donated the land and money to build the temple before inviting monks to take up residence.Wat Sai Khao was established as a juristic person in B.E.2432, and passed the Pook Pattasima ceremony in B.E.2435. (The ceremony was aimed to define the temple area.) Because of the vast area of the temple, part was used to locate a primary school which has now been in existence since B.E.2460.

Since the construction of Wat Sai Khao, six abbots have taken up residence, the first one was Long Phor Man, and the latest one is Long Phor Peng Pamuto B.E 2543, and a direct descendant of Archan Nong Dharma Bhuto. Wat Sai Khao has been continuously developed with many of the buildings renovated such as Pra Vihara, library, belfry, monks' residences etc. Today it is considered one of the most beautiful temples in the kingdom.

Archan Nong Dharma Bhuto, or Prakru Dharma Kitkosol, was one of two famous monks who were responsible for creating the now famous Long Phor Thuad, Wat Chang Hai amulets in B.E.2478. His co-worker at that time was Phra Ajahn Tim Dharma Taro.

Archan Nong Dharma Bhuto, formerly named Mr.Nong Northong, was born the son of Mr. Rueng and Mrs. Thonpeng, on December 15, B.E.2462, at Tumbol Bankluay, Ma-krood District, Pattani Province. More recently the district's name has changed to Kokbhoti District.

His parents had three children namely; Mrs.Thongchan, Archan Nong Dharma Bhuto and Mr.Nuam. His parents divorced and remarried, and subsequently had a further three daughters, Mrs.Woon (his stepmothers daughter), Mrs. Nuem Kaewthongprakum and Mrs Nium Siriphorn (his stepfathers daughter).

Archan Nong Dharma Bhuto, was ordained as a novice at the age of 19 and as a monk aged 21 on June 27th, B.E. 2482, at Wat Napradoo. Phra Ajahn Tim Dharma Taro, his co-worker, was also ordained on the same day. His preceptor was Prakru Wibul Samanawatra of Wat Mujjarintawapiwihara, who gave him his new Pali-language name as Dharma Bhuto.

B.E.2488 Archan Nong Dharma Bhuto passed the examination for Nak Dharma Chan Aek, or first class Dharma expert.
B.E.2508 Appointed Vice Abbot of Wat Chang Hai.
B.E.2511 Appointed Abbot of Wat Sai Khao, and the monk group leader of Tumbol Kokbhoti,Or Kokbhoti sub-district
B.E.2514 Appointed by the supreme patriarch as Prakru Dharma Kitkosol, as 3rd class Dharma Teacher.
B.E.2524 Appointed by the supreme patriarch as Prakru Dharma Kitkosol, as 2nd class Dharma Teacher.
B.E.2537 Appointed by the supreme patriarch as Prakru Dharma Kitkosol, as 1st class Dharma Teacher.

As previously mentioned he and Pra Ajahn Tim, were ordained on the same day, and naturally were good friends often helping each other on various missions, including an occasion in B.E.2497 when they both co-created the Long Phor Thuad Pranuewan amulets. these amulets are now very rare and expensive, well beyond the budget of the average collector. Fortunately there are however many amulets that do fall within the range of the enthusiast and in the next article on Archan Nong we will be looking at the various amulets he created.

Archan Phor Nong Dharma Bhuto was known as a merciful priest. He often helped the poor, both ordinaries and monks, to be educated. Furthermore, he also helped renovate many buildings, including temples' and public buildings.

He also devoted his entire life to all of Buddhist affairs, regardless of troubles or hardship. Due to his dedication to Buddhism and hard work, Archan Nong Dharma Bhuto was plagued with many diseases, including high blood pressure and lung disease. Although he was treated at hospital his conditioned continually worsened.

Eventually, Archan Nong Dharma Bhuto passed away at 03.27 a.m., on September 11th, B.E.2542, at Kokbhoti hospital. He was aged 80 years of which 60 were devoted to Buddhism. His cremation took place at 03.59 p.m., on the 20th May May B.E.2545, at Wat Sai Khao. Though, his body was burnt, his name will be respected eternally not only by the locals of Patani but by all of Thailand and many international devotees.

His virtues, along with Phra Acharn Tim's, will be always admired, due to their great devotion to Buddhism and the general public. Not only were they some of Thailand's greatest guru monks but the creators of the legendry Long Phor Thuad amulet.

Luang Phor Tae

Holy Venerable Long Phor Tae KongThong, Wat Sahm Ngahm, Nakhon Pathom passed away on the 25th December BE 2524 at his temple, aged 90.

Long Phor Tae was born on 15 September B.E.2434 in Tambon Sahm Ngahm, Amphur Gamphengsean (now called Dong Thom), Jangwat Nakhon Pathom. He was born the 5th child in a family of 7 children. Both LP Tae's parents, Nai Jan Sam Nagm Noi and Nang Boo Sam Nagm Noi were farmers.From the age of seven years he was raised by his Uncle Daeng, who was a monk at Wat Gahlong in Samutsakorn province, where LP Tae first started to study knowledge of Dhamma.At the age of 10 he returned with Long Phor Daeng to their home village, to construct a new temple 20KM south at Tambon Don Pusah.

After three years, in B.E. 2447, the newly built temple was moved from Tambon Don Pusah to Tambon Sam Nagm, and the temple was known as Wat Sam Nagm.Thereafter LP Tae continued to reside at the new temple studying Dharma and magic under his uncle until the age of 20 when he was finally ordained as a monk.

Long Phor Tae eventually was to became the close disciple of Long Phor Tah, the preceptor of Wat Panaengtak. Long Phor Tah taught Long Phor Tae everything he knew about Dhamma and Sammahdti. Long Phor Tae would accompany his Master whenever he went Tudung, until such time that Long Phor Tae had gained sufficient experience to go alone.Long Phor Tae eventually was to became the close disciple of Long Phor Tah, the preceptor of Wat Panaengtak. Long Phor Tah taught Long Phor Tae everything he knew about Dhamma and Sammahdti. Long Phor Tae would accompany his Master whenever he went Tudung, until such time that Long Phor Tae had gained sufficient experience to go alone.

After LP Tah passed away in B.E.2465, LP Tae left for Wat Takong in Nakhon Pathom. Long Phor Chaem was the abbot of Wat Takong and was extremely well known for his strict practice in Dhamma and high attainment in Saiyasaat (magical arts). LP Cham unselfishly imparted everything that he knew on the subjects of Dhamma, meditation, tudong and saiyasaat to LP Tae. Once Long Phor Chaem told Long Phor Tae that: "If you want to become Jow Koon (monk with a high title), take a train to Krungthep (Bangkok). If you want to become a real monk, you must enter the forest." Long Phor Tae choose the latter, and went into the forest and became a Tudung monk.

It is said that Long Phor Tae was a monk who possessed a lot of metta(loving-kindness) and bahramee (power). Whenever Long Por Tae went for Tudung, many villagers would give money and personal possessions but he never accepted the gifts, only morning alms. LP Tae was well known for making 'Guman Thong'. The first temples in Thailand to make 'Guman Thong' were Wat Sahm Ngahm and Wat Takong in Nakhon Pathom.

It was believed that LP Tae had the supernormal power to see wondering souls of the dead that roamed the surroundings and especially souls of those young children. In order to give an opportunity for those souls to make merit before rebirth, LP Tae decided to cast the souls into a child-like statue and give it people who needed help. LP Tae had learned such art from LP Chaem of Wat Takong and also an unnamed monk from Cambodia.

In the year BE 2475, at the age of 40, he became the Abbot of Wat Sam Nagm.
One day, a robber wanted to rob Long Phor Tae of the money, but Luang Por Tae did not stop him, however Long Phor Tae told the robber that the money was not his, but belonged to the villagers who wished to make merits. If he took the money, the villagers would be disappointed because the money was meant for merit making. After the robber had listened to Long Phor Tae's, the robber felt very ashamed and ran off.

According to a story told by the villagers of Nakhon Pathom, in year B.E.2483, there lived an unlucky food peddler in the town centre of Nak Kan Bahn. He was a great chef but no matter how hard he worked, he didn't manage to succeed in his business. One morning while travelling to the town to set up his stall, he met a preaching monk along the way. Immediately, he put down his stuff and scooped a big bowl of food and presented it to the monk.

After finishing the food, the monk walked along with the peddler and spoke with him. He then knew the hardship and unluckiness of the peddler. As they parted, the monk took out a clay doll-like statue from his bag and gave it to the peddler, telling him to treat it well everyday so that his luck will change. Soon after that, the peddler's business got better and better. He then came to know that the monk who gave him the statue was LP Tae, abbot of Wat Sahm Ngahm and the statue was called 'Guman Thong'.

Wat Sahm Ngahm produced numerous pendants of Luang Phor Tae that has brought extreme good luck and great fortune to many people since. Many occasions were recorded that people wearing Long Phor Tae's amulets were unharmed from accidents and there were also stories told by many villagers ( some still living today) and people from all over Thailand that they were saved from both evil spirits and ghosts after wearing LP Tea's amulets. It is also believe that it will bring great Metta to one by wearing amulets of LP Tae.

Besides being a disciple of Long Phor Tah and Long Phor Chaem, Long Phor Tae had also learnt Wichah from a Cambodian Ajahn in Kanchanaburi province. It was said that it was from him that he learnt the arcane secrets of making the famous Guman Thong.

Fortunately most of the knowledge was passed down to his own disciple Ajahn Yem who has continued the tradition.

泰國古今有很多聲名顯赫的高僧，祂們都受人們尊敬，而其中有一位精進追求佛理、尋求解脫之道的得道高僧，便是有龍婆屈白南之稱的龍婆術大師。(以下簡稱大師)

大師在佛曆2427年(即西曆1884年)，生於泰國術噴布里符，大師父親名拉銀，母親名術制，家中經營米糧生意

大師住所對面是一座佛寺，名叫屈爽鐵良，大師小時便在這佛寺由僧人教導知識，各僧人都說大師非常聰明，僧人所教的大師都很快領悟，後來便轉到屈班巴佛寺學習，大師14歲那年，因父親去世，便回家中幫助管理家業。

在大師19歲的一年，大師的佛性再也按不住了，一天大師突然有一念頭，"人為什麼要不斷辛苦工作? 為生活? 但已找夠生活的金錢，但同樣會不斷工作，不斷為金錢而工作，為什麼? 人始終會有一天會死亡，死後什麼也沒有，就好像我父親一樣，死後什麼也沒有，我自身亦有一天會死亡，死後也是什麼也沒有，那為什麼我會在這裡不斷工作? 人又為什麼會來到這個世界? 來到這個世界就是為了不斷辛苦工作?"，想到這裡，大師已決定要效法佛陀尋求真理之道，但大師覺得人是每一天都有機會死亡，便向佛上香求願，希望在死前能有機會接觸真理之道、出家尋求佛法，如能有機會出家定必永不還俗，直至死亡。


在佛曆2449年(即西曆1906年)，大師就在家鄉的屈爽鐵良佛寺出家，由屈筆讀散佛寺的龍婆尼大師，主持出家法事，往後大師便在屈爽鐵良佛寺修行，學習佛理，歷時一年，便到曼谷佛寺深造。

大師在曼谷的屈匹斜讀官佛寺寄居，但大師不只在一所佛寺學習，而是五所佛寺，大師每天早飯後到屈額輪佛寺學習，學習後便回屈匹斜讀官佛寺午飯，午飯後便到屈麥哈撻佛寺學習，黃昏再到兩所佛寺學習，分別為屈術撻佛寺及屈三搬佛寺，之後便回屈匹斜讀官佛寺再行學習。


深造完畢後，大師便在屈匹斜讀官佛寺教導佛理，但後來大師要到處宏揚佛法，便離開屈匹斜讀官佛寺，大師一路宏揚佛法，途經一所破舊佛寺屈拍史麥哈撻佛寺，便停留下來，為佛寺修保破爛的佛寺及佛像，更教導善信坐禪及佛理，而來學習的善信亦越來越多，但這時候當地的鎮長，不滿當地的居民都信奉大師，覺得影響當地佛寺的面子，所以便查探大師來歷，後來得知大師來自曼谷的屈匹斜讀官佛寺，便到向屈匹斜讀官佛寺住持拍括印熱甩大師投訴，拍括印熱甩大師便請大師離開當地，大師得知後，便離開當地，繼續宏揚佛法，後來回到家鄉屈爽鐵良佛寺，在佛寺興建學校，教導知識，更開辦佛學班教導佛理。

一段時間後，大師又離開佛寺，繼續宏揚佛法，所到之處都有很多善信向大師學習，信奉大師尊敬大師，但有些地方的人同樣因面子問題，不歡迎大師，但大師還是繼續到處宏揚佛法，後來曼谷的屈匹斜讀官佛寺住持拍括印熱甩大師，榮升為曼谷內一鎮的最高級僧人，而鎮內剛好有一佛寺，被泰國政府承認，但佛寺還未有住持，拍括印熱甩大師見大師精進宏揚佛法，便邀請大師到這佛寺擔任住持，而這佛寺名字就是屈白覽佛寺，龍婆術大師便在佛曆2459年(西曆1916年)，擔任屈白覽佛寺住持，及後更有龍婆屈白覽之稱。

大師到屈白覽佛寺上任後，便立即開辦禪定班、佛學班，還有開設學堂，但在屈白覽佛寺原來的僧人，都不喜歡大師這樣做，都叫相識的善信不要參加，因此初期沒有太多人參加，禪定班和佛學班，大都只有大師以往的弟子，遠道而來參與，學堂亦只有三名學生，但大師沒有氣餒而停辦，只有更加努力。

在大師努力期間，有一天晚上，竟有人暗殺大師向大師開熗，子彈射中大師，但奇蹟出現，在大師所穿的袈裟的確有兩個子彈孔，但大師並未有任何受傷，子彈亦不知所蹤，很多善信知道這事後，都責責稱奇，更稱大師是聖僧，而且更分分參加大師的禪定班、佛學班，而且學堂亦激增多名學生，由最初的三名激增至三百名

而有一次，一名善信不相信大師，竟到來試大師神通力，"問大師今天會有人到大捐款建禪舍嗎"，大師聽後，閉眼三分鐘，便答道，有，今天會有一人到來捐款建兩至三間禪舍，那善信覺大師答得像是不肯定說兩至三間，便向大師一笑，說今天會在佛寺等待，看看是否真的有人到來捐款，而在兩小時後，有一人到來佛寺，求見大師，向大師說看捐款建禪舍，預算建兩至三間，就在這次後善信們便流傳大師有先知能力，更加尊敬大師。及後大師的名字，在泰國無人不知，而在海外亦很多人尊崇，因此有些外國人都來到屈白覽佛寺出家為僧，向大師學習佛理、禪定。禪定班、佛學班及學堂，學生不斷增加，因此必定要佛寺及學堂擴建，所以大師在佛歷2493年西歷1950年製造了第一批有崇笛白覽之稱的拍礦官佛牌，以作送給捐款人之禮品。

及後大師所辦的學堂，亦成為一所學校，後來更由泰國政府接手發展，將之遷至別的地方，現在已變成一所有規模的學舍，而大師便在佛寺中專注教授禪定、佛理，直至佛曆2502年西曆1959年75歲圓寂，但大師的遺體竟變作不壞之身，現在還安放在佛寺中供奉。

大師所製的佛牌，至今以有很多靈驗事蹟，例如發生車禍但人沒有受傷，遇上賊熗殺但奇蹟人沒有受傷......等等，很多很多，而大師所製最為出名的佛牌，便是因籌款而開始製造的拍礦官佛牌，善信都稱為崇笛白覽。

Luang Phor Klai ( Phor Than Klai)

LP Kai 就是因為經常開口中,所以人稱"金口和尚".只有一隻腳.是其中一位泰皇敬重的老師父.師父身邊發生的神奇事都有很多..而師父的金身,死後經幾次火化都燒不掉.最後一次要泰皇親自點火才只可以成功火化到一隻腳指頭.金身還在寺內供善信參拜.師父身邊的奇事很多.其中一件比較有趣的是:有一次,泰皇問LP. 為何你每講的事,都會應驗.那LP叫泰皇寫下一組號碼.寫好後.放在一容器上. 現在你叫人看守好.明天才開來給大家看.到第2天,大家把字條拿來看,竟然就是當天彩票開彩的號碼.

早在60年前左右.師父經已有做Jatukam牌.當時幫助他一起做的有他其下的兩位弟子.都是白衣. 其中一位就是你們經常提起的archan Kunpan. 當年的jatukam牌.比現在的size還要大幾倍. 而現在他做的那些牌的價錢是天文數字了.絕不是現在這時期的JTK可以比美.而LP親手做的佛牌都是有著很高收藏價值的.LP Kai,是一位名氣和德行都成正比的師父.絕對是一位值的大家去尊敬的老師.

“What is sacred? Everyone has something sacred within themselves. To have been born as a complete human being is already sacred. One can be sacred only from within oneself, and not by any amulet or other so-called sacred objects.

Dhamma is sacred, and to have this sacredness, one must have Dhamma within oneself.” As a very popular monk, Luang Poo Waen Sujinno was often believed to have 'sacred amulets', something which Thais from all walks of life like to receive from respectable monks, for their protective value. People from all over Thailand would often travel to Wat Doi Mae Pang to seek these amulets or other sacred objects from Luang Poo and he would always give the same answer as the one quoted above. Luang Poo Waen Sujinno was born on the 16th of February 1883 in Tambon Na Pong, Muang District of Loei to a blacksmith's family. He was named Yarn and had one elder sister. He ordained as a novice monk in 1892 at Wat Bodhi Chai in Na Pong at the age of nine to fulfill the wish of his mother, when she died, while he was five years old. He studied with a number of teachers and later ordained as a monk at a temple in Hua Taparn District of Ubon Ratchathani at the age of 21.

Among the many teachers he studied with was Ajahn Mun Bhuridhatta Maha Thera in Udon Thani, who taught him the virtues of the pursuance of a secluded life and the practice of meditation and Dhamma in the jungles. Subsequently, Luang Poo travelled widely in the Northeast of Thailand in search of isolated places where he could meditate. His travels also took him to Bangkok where he met Chao Khun Phra Upali Gunupamacariya of Wat Bovoranives in 1921 with whom Luang Poo Waen spent several years studying and practising the Dhamma.

Later, Chao Khun Phra Upali took him to Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Mai where Luang Poo Waen decided to make a switch from the Maha Nikaya sect of Thai Theravada Buddhism to the stricter Dhammayutika Nikaya sect. Luang Poo Waen travelled extensively by foot through thick jungles and remote mountains and even ventured to Myanmar and India where he paid homage at several historic sacred Buddhist sites. In the year of 1955, news of a foot injury sustained during his stay in seclusion at Wat Paa Ban Pong in Mae Taeng District, Chiang Mai, reached Phra Ajahn Noo Suchitto of Wat Doi Mae Pang, who later arranged for Luang Poo Waen to stay in Wat Doi Mae Pang permanently. Wat Doi Mae Pang then became the residence of Luang Poo Waen until his passing away in 1985.

Even then, Luang Poo did not reside in the monastery itself, but in a secluded hut a short distance away from the actual monastery. Luang Poo Waen began consecrating amulets and sacred images for people after settling down in Wat Doi Mae Pang. Luang Poo's amulets and sacred images were all consecrated for meritorious purposes, like raising funds for charitable organisations and hospitals. Many of his pendants were also specially created and distributed to armed forces personnel for their protection. Many devotees also started having miraculous experiences with him and his amulets then, the most famous one, which was also mentioned in the Asia Magazine, being the incident of him being spotted floating in the sky by an airforce pilot.

Please read the full magazine article from the Asia Magazine via the link below: Luang Poo Waen Sujinno was also widely rumoured to possess the mystical power to float in the air, to cure illness and to energize amulets that protected the wearer from bullets and knives. General Kriangsak Chamanand, supreme commander of the armed forces, in 1979 gave Thai soldiers amulets of Luang Poo Waen to protect them against what he described as Thailand's greatest enemy at that time, the Communist Party.

The King in 1978 sponsored a medallion with the images of Luang Poo Waen Sujinno and the royal crown which was sold to pay for the construction of several hospitals. The popular amulets were distributed through large banks and businesses and raised millions of baht. On the 15th of April 1985, Luang Poo Waen was found to be unable to eat or move and was admitted into the Maharaj Hospital. He was operated on 4th of June 1985 in order to insert a tube into his stomach through which he would be fed. However, various complications developed and Phra Ajaan Noo, the abbot of Wat Doi Mae Pang, requested doctors not to perform any more operations as he wanted Luang Poo to rest peacefully.

His request was granted by doctors and the Governor of Chiang Mai, Mr. Chaiya Punsiriwong. On the 2nd of July 1985 at 9.54pm, Luang Poo Waen finally passed away after having been in the monkhood for almost 90 years. He was given a royally-sponsored bathing ceremony at Sala Ang Klaew in Chiang Mai University which was attended by the King and Queen of Thailand as well as the general public. The staff of the Maharaj Hospital in Chiang Mai observed three minutes of silence as a mark of respect for Luang Poo in a memorial service.

Plenty of pictures were taken by reporters for news reports. Many people were amazed when the pictures were developed, as what seemed like images of Luang Poo had appeared miraculously on many of the pictures taken on that day. Luang Poo's sacred remains were kept in Wat Doi Mae Pang for about year for devotees to pay their last respects.

The remains were cremated at a Royal Funeral on 16 January 1986. The cremation was attended by the King and Queen of Thailand, the Prime Minister and half a million devotees. Just as the sacred fire was consuming the remains of Luang Poo amidst the chanting of monks and devotees, the image of Luang Poo Waen miraculously manifested within the flames upon the funeral pyre. This incident was witnessed my many devotees and was well-documented in many magazines and books about Luang Poo.

Subsequently, the remains of Luang Poo transformed into smooth grains like sand and glass shortly after the cremation, leading many people to strongly believe that Luang Poo had attained the state of an Arahant. However, despite much attention given to the miracles related to Luang Poo, there is no doubt that what Luang Poo would have wanted us to remember about him would be his legacy of pure Dhamma practice.
