History of LP Koon:-
Luang Phor Koon was born on Thursday, 4th October BE 2466. He was raised in a well off family. His grandfather was an influential person and very well-known in Nakon Raatchaseemah province. He also 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 Ajarn Cheum, Ajarn Saai and Phra Ajarn 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 BE 2487. Phra Kru Wijahn Dtigit was the preceptor. Phra Kru Atigahn Torng Suk was his dhamma teacher. His monk's name is Paristtoh.
Luang Phor Koon stayed in Wat Thanon HakYai to study dhamma, in addition Luang Phor Koon also learned under Luang Daeng Wat Nong Poh. He learned dhamma, sammahdti and Wichah (magic) from Luang Phor Daeng. Luang Por Koon was very diligent when studied under Luang Phor Daeng. Seeing that Luang Phor Koon was so keen in learning, 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 Phra Tudong (forest monk) and taught and brought Luang Pohr Koon to Tudong (forest dwelling). Besides dhamma and sammahdti, Luang Phor Kong also taught Luang Phor Koon Wichah (magic) on inserting Takrut into a person's arm.
After learning from Luang Phor Kong for some time, Luang Phor Koon went 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 stayed in any one 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 Tudong.
Luang Phor Koon returned to Thailand after more than 10 years of Tudong, and reside at Wat Bahn Rai, Nakon Ratchasima. The first time, Luang Phor Koon came to Wat Bahn Rai, the temple was in bad condtion. There was only a old Salah (shether), Bot (hall) and Guti (place where Buddha Statue will be placed). Luang Phor Koon seeing that was 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 did not have much fund (only 10,000 bahts) 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 bahts. When the abbot heard that, he said that he had no ability to help, though it was his duties. Luang Phor Koon, then asked the villagers and his lay disciples to source for fund. Many people came forward and helped. The total fund collected was almost 2 million bahts and Wat Bahn Rai was re-built.
Luang Phor Koon was gradually gaining popularity in Nakon Ratchasima. 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 Ratchasima. The devotees who go to Wat Bahn Rai, be it rich or poor, Luang Phor Koon will meet them personally and bless them. He would specially make time for the poorer devotees, because to Luang Phor Koon, the poorer devotees need to earn a living, and thus their time is more precious comparing to the richer ones who had already have a stable livelihood.
Luang Phor Koon chanted the most amulets in Thailand. Many temples and people would create the amulets and asked him to bless. He seldom rejected anyone when come to him for blessings. Luang Phor Koon is very good in the Wichah of inserting Takrud. He would personally insert the Takrud under the arm of the devotees, these Takrud are very well proven to protect a person from accidents, Metta and as well as Kong Grapan (immunity from weapons).
Almost 20 years, Luang Phor Koon had chanted and inserted Takrud, but now Luang Phor Koon had 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.
