Original and Beautiful
For appreciation
LP Derm released this quietly brilliant masterpiece batch to his devotees in 2493 (1950) for the purpose of the temple’s renovation, restoration and other charitable purposes. As the devotees have good experiences which potency is profound and infinite, this batch is seldom seen and not common.
LP Doem, Wat Nong Pho
UNCONQUERABLE AMULETS
FOR REAL
TOUGH GUYS
Luang Phor Doem (B.E.2403-2494),Wat Nong Pho temple, NakornSawan
province, is one of the greatest guru monk of Thailand.
As elephant being a carrier in the old times, Luang Phor
Doem kept many elephants. He cast a spell on every elephant's legs and
sometimes fed them with blessed grass. As a preceptor, Luang Phor Doem was
often invited to many temples to preside over the ordain ceremony. When he was
getting old, he reached the destination temples by elephant. All his elephants
were very tamed. After reaching the temple, Luang Phor Doem just let the
elephant go freely to feed itself by eating grass in the nearby area. Amazingly,
when the ceremony going to end with some chanting chapter, the elephant would
go back by itself and kneeled down in front of the Bosth(main chanting hall for
all Buddhistic rituals) to pick him up and bring him back to Wat NongPho. Luang
Phor Doem loved all of his elephants, he had special knowledges(Yana) to detect
elephants' mind and to communicate them. When Luang Phor Doem passed away, his
elephants cried with grief and some of them refused to eat anything.
Luang Phor Doem was a great builder. He helped build more
than 30 temples in Nakornsawan and nearby provinces, such as Phichit,
Pitsanulok and Chainat. His benevolence
was so great, he cared about the water in temple's pond which was the main
blood vessel for all monks in the temple. He was very happy if the pond was
full of water. When the pond was shallow in the dry season, he was worried and
going to the Bosth to meditate and beg for rain. The day he passed away, his
monk disciples had told him that the water level was very low, it's nearly run
out. If there was no rain in a few days, the pond would dry up. Luang Phor Doem
nodded his head while he was lying ill on the floor.
" My sons I'm going to leave this world, I wish you all
be good monks and be happy forever, so don't worry about the water in the
pond", said he. A few minutes later, he passed away. Suddenly, the
lightning flashed in the sky and a clap of thunder striked, a very heavy rain
poured!! Only one hour later the pond was full of water again. The great monk
often miraculously passed away in this manner.
Luang Phor Doem's amulets are rather expensive because they
are very popular among Thai veteran collectors and users. But for the novices,
they may know only his name but know not much about his amulets' great
properties. Once his amulets appear on anyone's neck , it's something like a
sign to show that you are a real man and tough guy.
