LP Koon was the eldest son and had two younger sisters. His mother died when he was at the age of 11. LP Koon was then taken care by his aunties. Not so long after his mother death, his father remarried and LP Koon was sent to Wat Ban Rai to study Buddhism. During the day, he helped his father to plough the field, fed and bathed the buffalo, At night, he went to the temple to study and help to clean up the temple during his spare time.

When LP Koon was at the age of 20, his auntie and relatives gave's some money and sent him to Wat Thanon HatYai. LP Koon was ordained as a monk at the age of 21 at Wat Thanon HatYai on May in 1944 ( B.E.2487). Phra Kru Wijahn Dtigit was the preceptor and Phra Kru Atigahn Torng Suk was his dhamma teacher. His monk's name is called Paritsuttoh. During the year, at the summer observation vacation, he went to Wat Nongpho to learn meditation under the master Luang Phor Daeng (LP Daeng), and further his studies on Buddhist knowledge.

After several years, through his exceptional intelligence, he had studied almost everything from LP Daeng, such as Dhamma, Samadhi and Wichah (magic). Then LP Daeng told him. You have now acquired a firm foundation against basic meditation and the Sanskrit language, and it is time for you to seek for other renowned master to further your knowledge.

He introduced a high ranking monk to LP Koon known as Luang Phor Khang (LP Khang). When LP Khang met LP Koon he could immediately tell that LP Koon was a very unusual monk and will have a bright future ahead and accepted him as his disciple.

LP Koon learnt to cultivate Buddhist practice as well as all forms of spiritual powers from LP Khang. In the course of his studies, he had to climb over mountains and enter the forest to practice the spiritual powers on remote mountain peaks. Three years went by, when LP Koon had learnt up everything, he left his master LP Khang and decided to go on his own to fulfill the Buddhism faith and help the needy. Wherever he goes he was well respected monk by the villagers.
a
LP Kong was a Phra Thudong monk (a forest monk) while he went Thudong (forest dwelling) he will brought LP Koon along. Besides Dhamma and Samadhi, LP Kong also taught LP Koon Wichah (magic) on inserting takrut. After learning from LP Kong for some time, LP Koon went Thudong alone. He went as far as Laos and Cambodia. He stayed in the deep forests of Laos and Cambodia for many years.

One day when LP Koon went Tudong and reached a mountain border between Thailand and Laos, the mountain area was very strange and surrounded with unusual weird looking trees. On that evening, several woodcutters were seen rushing down the mountain. LP Koon enquired about it and come to know that the mountain was previously a Kingdom. Due to the fact that many had died there, a lot of grievance spirits roam out at night to cause harm and disturbances to the villagers. All the villagers were in fear and nobody dare to enter or stay on the mountain in the night.

The woodcutters advised LP Koon to leave the mountain as many monks had encountered misfortunes. LP Koon replied, Since there are many grievance spirits in the mountain, as a monk I have an obligation to help them and hope to take them out from their realms of suffering. The woodcutters remain silent and thought that they would have to return the next day to collect his dead body.

The crying sound became louder as the wind blows stronger. At that time, LP Koon keep on chanting mantras and suddenly a bright yellow light come down and enshrined his tent. The surrounding trees were swaying heavily from side to side and it seen to wind up the tent of LP Koon. Even the trees that were about to fall on his tent are expelled by the yellow light. LP Koon keep on concentrate with meditation inside the tent.

The evil windstorm stop eventually, many trees was felled but LP Koon remained unhurt. The evil spirit was dissatisfied with LP Koon and wondered why this yellow robe guy could not be so hurt. LP Koon then used his spiritual power and talk to the spirits, I’m here for you and I wanted to help you relieve from suffering in human world.

Suddenly there were a large number of ghost rising up and stand in front of LP Koon. Among them is the King of ghosts in the mountain. When the ghost King saw LP Koon he knelt down before him. Than the King was asked by LP Koon, why he had not taken a reincarnation and the ghost King replied that the mountain was once a Royal Kingdom and he was the King. The people of the Kingdom lived a peaceful and a happy life. It happened one day, the whole Kingdom was infected with contagious disease, all the villagers are killed by the infectious disease causing the death of hundreds of thousands that spread to them. Due to the fact that were a treasured been passed down by the ancestors, the spirits were there to kept guard over the treasured by prohibited any outsiders from taking away. Anybody who come to the mountain will be die or punished eventually.

After LP Koon heard the conclusion of the whole matter, he advised on the Buddhist philosophy to convince the ghost and said, Since everybody had died and the body in the physical form had perished, all the treasures were of no use anymore as they cannot be worn. What is the use of possessing them? Moreover, you all have killed so many people especially those in yellow robe who were observing the precepts, how long will the revenge end? Put off the evil thoughts and embrace Buddha! All of you must know that birth, aging, sickness and death are the cosmic law of Samsara and everybody has to face such a law and no one can avoid, not even the Buddha himself. All of you will have to suffer from the effect of Samsara and the retribution for all the evil deeds caused and can never take reincarnation if evil acts are continued. Is it worthwhile?

The ghost King kept silence and asked LP Koon, Do we have the chance to repent? LP Koon answer, Of course, previously you have done so much evil deeds harmed and killed many innocent people, although you repent now, all of you should also face the retribution for your past misdeeds as everyone is equal under the concept of karma. The good deeds will be rewarded and the wrongdoings will be punished. All of you will suffer the retribution of Samsara and will be born in the animal realm in the next life.

The ghost King was so touched and impressed with LP Koon words. He offered three bows to LP Koon in appreciation and said with sincerity: We hope that LP Koon will help us from the ghosts realm to attain the fruit of Buddhahood. We are not afraid to be rebirth in the animal realm. LP Koon put his palms together and chanted prayers on deliverance. The chanted prayers were able to clear all the cycle of Samsara. From then on, the mountain returned to its quite and peaceful state. The villagers began to enter the mountain for cutting wood and plough lands.

During the rainy season, LP Koon will stayed in any of the temple near town to Khow Pansah (rainy season for a monk to stay indoors), if he was still in the forest, he would stay in the forest and continue his Thudong. As time goes by, LP Koon returned back to Thailand after several decades of Thudong. LP Koon returned to his village to visit his grandmother, his grandmother said to him, You are always out to dedicate the Buddhist faith, why don’t you consider developing a temple in our own village? The temple in the village is in bad condition and so run-down and the monk’s here do not have a decent place to chant their prayers. With the advice given by his grandmother, LP Koon decided to stay back and determine to develop and rebuild the temple in his village.

LP Koon than found a suitable area and used his umbrella to set up a tent. After a process of purification, he started to meditate and chant prayers inside his tent. In the middle of the night, a strange wind occurred and in the course of it, he than heard a voice crying in the wilderness and the sound is getting nearer and nearer to him. Later he heard a voice speaking to him, LP Koon listened and heard the grievance spirit said,Hey! Here you come again, the guy in yellow robe. You are so daring. You do not know how many of these guys with yellow robe had died here. You will experience death in a little while. Ha-ha-ha-ha.

LP Koon, then asked the villagers and his lay disciples to source for fund for the construction of the temple. At that time, when peoples know that LP Koon is constructing a the temple, many devotees around every corner come forward to helped. When the temple was almost completed, LP Koon cast a lot of amulets and offered as a gifts to all devotees who had helped. LP Koon is one of the most famous and top guru monks in Thailand.

Luang Phor Kasem Khemako, Wat Susantrilak (Lampang)

LP Kasem Khemako (B.E.2455~2538) was the descendants of Lampang's King from Lanna Period. LP was born on Wednesday, 28th November 1912 (BE2455) in Jangwat Lampang.

He became a novice monk in B.E.2468 after the dead his uncle, the abbot of Wat Bunyeun. In B.E.2470, he went to Bangkok to study Pali language. He returned to Lampang and further his Pali studies in Wat Seelom and Wat Bunyawaht.a

In B.E.2475, he passed his Pali examination with good results and came in first in class at Wat Setuwan. In B.E.2476, he was ordained as a monk at Wat Bunyeun at the age of 21 years old. His preceptor was Tahn Jow Koon Tammajindah. His ordained name's was Khemako Pikkhu. After he entered monkhood, LP Kasem went to Jangwat Chiang Rai to further his Pali studies. He met LP Krubah Gaen, a very famous Tudong monk in North Thailand who was very good in Sammadhi. LP Kasem became his disciple and went Tudong with his teacher in forests and cementries.

LP Kasem continued his learning in dhamma and sammadhi practise even after he became the abbot of Wat Bunyuen. He left Wat Bunyeun in B.E.2492, and went to stay at Sasahn Sahlahwangthan (a cementry at another place in Lampang). LP Kasem was determined to practise the highest level of Sammadhi at the cementry. He would sit in front of the burial place and watched the burning of corpse. Whether in hot sun or raining, Luang Phor would just sit quietly and watched the corpse being burned to ashes.

LP Kasem ever sat in Sammadhi for as long as three months, without shelter under hot sun or heavy rain. He would just sit quietly and not asked for anything. He had let go of everything in his practise of Dhamma and Sammadhi. He ever went without food for 49 days even.

LP Kasem never used a pillow to sleep, because to him, a pillow is a luxury. He would sleep with his body in full protrate position and would sleep at the same spot where he sat in Sammadhi. He was very determined to find the truth of life. He asked for nothing in life though he can enjoy the luxuries in life as he was the descendants of royal blood in Lampang.

Luang Phor ThongDum, Wat Tham TaPianTong, (Lop Buri)

Luang Por Thongdum was born on 19 August B.E. 2477 in the village of Prangu in Sri Saket Province; he was the third child of his parents’ four children.
When Thongdam Puiob – LP Thongdum’s real name – was still young he studied at Wat Ban Prasat and continued to do so until the age of ten. But due to the fact that his family was suffering from poverty he had to quit his studies at the temple and go back to his parents’ house to help his family out in farming their land.

At the age of twenty-two LP Thongdum went to study with various teachers, such as Phra Kru Virutammagij, Ajahn Ngow and Ajahn Poh at Wat Samoh, at the Prangu District in Sri Saket Province. After some time he reached higher levels of Dhamma studies. Then LP Thongdum went to LP Mun of WatPrasat Yea Neua and Ajahn Thongsook of Wat Ban Pet who taught him the Wicha. LP Thongdum also received teachings on sak yant from Ajahn Thongsook.
However, soon after he had completed his studies with Ajahn Thongsook he was assigned as abbot of Wat Prasat Jant Ngo. He spent a period of twelve yearsa rebuilding the temple as instructed by LP Mun. When the temple was finally fully rebuilt, LP Thongdum resumed his tudong.

During one of his tudongs, he traveled through Ubon Ratchathani where he met Ajahn Hom who is believed that he had attained a very high level in meditation practice. Therefore, LP Thondum decided to take a break from his tudong practice and went to practice meditation together with Ajahn Hom. When they stayed in the forest, LP Thongdum simultaneously continued his wicha practice.

Every morning he will join Ajahn Hom for alms round across the border into Laos. After many years of learning LP Thongdum finally completed his studies with Ajahn Hom. After bidding Ajahn Hom goodbye, LP resumed his tudong and he was given a Buddhist scripture (Phra Dhamma Gaow Goti) by Ajahn Hom.

B.E. 2512; LP Thongdum arrived at Lopburi. When he was taking a rest at Tham Phra Narai Khao Wong, he got invited by Nang Pisamai to an eerie and quiet place, which later known as Wat Tham Tapian Thong. Back in the days, most people believed that it was haunted, so nobody dared to go in there. LP Thongdum couldn’t care less and decided to stay there. Then he found a undiscovered cave. Thus, LP Thongdum decided to reside in this cave.

The news spreaded fast and soon many people would come to visit LP Thongdum in the cave. At that time LP Thongdum would start to do sak yant for his devotees. As time passed LP Thongdum’s sak yant became very well known. Unfortunately some of his devotees misused LP Thongdum’s sak yant to do bad things which soon led to LP being summoned by the government and ordered him to stop doing sak yant.

Later, in the years from B.E 2520 to 2524, LP Thongdum got frequently invited to Bangkok for ceremonial blessing rituals. During that time he met many other well known monks, such as LP Toh of Wat Praduchimplee; LP Eia of Wat Bandan; LP Kammi of Wat Tham Kuha Sawan; LP Tit of Wat Palelai; LP Sud of Wat Kalong; and LP Pring of Wat Bod Gong Tanu.

During one of his visits to Bangkok LP Thongdum recognized LP Toh’s profound skills in samadhi. Thus, LP Thongdum took the opportunity to study from LP Toh as well. Since then, he resides in Wat Tham Tapian Thong where he started to make amulets.

LP Thongdum is the first monk who created style of Phra Khun Paen JowSup JowSaneh in present-time and popular for his knowledge in both holy Dharma and Wicha magic. He studied arcane sciences in making efficacious Phra Khun Paen amulets from Cambodian masters.

Jao Sup Jao Saneh amulet series was made by LP Thongdum’s hand for the first time with ancient Katha from Cambodia one by one for more than one year. On the front presents Khun Paen sitting inside a decorated roof. At the back are 3 Takruts - gold, silver, copper. All the takruts used by LP Thongdum had been written with Yahn Script “Na Setthi” and “Na Khun Paen”. These takruts are known to be very powerful that could bring luck, wealth and help the owner to be admired and

People believed that Phra Khun Paen by LP Thongdum has the power in protecting its owner from black magic, evil and bad luck. However, we must highlight that it is one's own Karma the deciding factor in overcoming those shortcomings. Also, this amulet is especially powerful in securing good fortune in business affairs to the owner. The 1st batch of this Jao Sup Jao Saneh series was made in small quantity and is hard to find nowadays. But do not be disheartened because the 2nd batch worked just fine. From findings this 2nd batch may have been released several times between B.E.2546 till B.E.2549.
