Kruba Noi

Phra Kru Sirisilsangvorn or generally known as Kruba Noi is a well-known monk in Chiang Mai.  Kruba Noi is the son of Mr Kham and Mrs Tahkham Kongkham. He was born on 10th February BE 2494 at Sridoonmoon Village, Tambon Chmphoo, Amphur Sarapee, Chiang Mai. When he was born, his body was umbilical cord wrapped. According to legend from the Northern Part of Thailand, it is believed that he would become a Buddhist monk. When he turned 7 years old, he started schooling at Wat Sri Don Moon and learned Dharma under the guidance of Kruba Phat until he completed the highest level of primary education. Frankly speaking, his teacher Kruba Phat was in fact one of the well-known guru monks in Chiang Mai. By the year BE 2507, he first ordained as a novice monk and then 7 years later by BE 2514, he was officially ordained as a monk. Afterwards, he continued his learning of Dharma and Visha from other guru monks. On top of that, Kruba Noi follows the virtuous life of Kruba Srivichai who was depicted as the great monk of the Lanna region strictly.

Kruba Noi 生於佛歷 BE 2494年的2月10日. 出生的時候，據說是全身都被臍帶纏繞著，據說泰北地區有個傳說，只要是這樣全身臍帶纏繞出生且沒有臍帶繞頸意外死去的男孩，天生就是要去弘揚佛法的.

Kruba Noi 第一次進入寺廟修行是在佛歷 BE 2507年的6月6日，那時也就是13歲的樣子. 直到佛歷 BE 2514年的5月3日, Kruba Noi 正式成為僧侶的年齡，於是便立即剃度出家為僧，法號’耐依’.

出家之後，Kruba Noi主要在泰北地區進行修行，第一位老師為Kruba Phat，期後拜訪過不少森林派大師學習法術以及佛牌聖物的製作方法，其中包括了魯士法門的頂級名師Luang Phor Promma，還學習了巴利文以及泰國早期蘭納王朝時期的經典. 大師的許多思想都受到Kruba Srivichai 影響，例如: 堅持素食，對社會發展的熱誠. 

大師雖然年老，但極之勤勞. 每天零晨3點半就開始，起床後帶領徒弟和沙彌打坐誦經.結束後，會一起到附近去托乞食.大約早上的10點到下午5點接見客人信眾來訪者.而到晚上，他會把所有時間都用來誦經打坐及教小和尚. 到晚上零晨1點才訓覺. 

Kruba Noi 善於擋險法門，他親制的擋險符通在躲避危險、保命、刀槍不入方面有著口碑，此外水中財佛做的也有名氣. 現在在泰國北部的清邁地區，Kruba Noi也算是位有名的師父. 他自己每天都要接待很多前往拜訪的人，平實Kruba Noi還會協助其它寺廟的師父製作佛牌，或者贈與一些特殊聖料便於別的寺廟製作佛牌.
