Kruba Orr is a well-known guru monk in the north of Thailand who was once a soldier of Shan (a ethnic group in Myanmar).
Kruba Orr was born in BE 2458 in Myanmar. In fact, he is a Shan that lives in the mountain near Thailand- Myanmar border. When he was at the age of 7 to 15, he was ordained as a novice monk then he disrobed in order to become a soldier to serve the nation in World War 2. Afterward, he was ordained again under Buddhist Patriarch of Shan officiating ordination for him. After his ordination, he started to learn magic from several guru monks that lived in the north part of Thailand. He kept on the magic of Shan.
Kruba Orr was a good monk as he lived simply and followed the rules of monk strictly. He liked to practice Dharma at deserted temples as he wanted the temple to have at least a monk to stay in the temple to keep Buddhism and help out the villagers. He was also kind to whoever that met him.
Kruba Orr 從小就出為沙彌,至二十多歲才剃髮為僧. 一段時間之後,又還俗出任傣族的祭師. 五十歲時又回來授俱足戒為僧,至今已有六十年的臘戒年了.
Kruba Orr 從小就醉研究玄學,是當時大傣族人的名師,時常受到緬甸的達官邀請,為他們進行法事.
得到他的幫忙,每人都平步青雲,所以就被大傣族人尊封為明師. 出家後的Kruba Orr 常持苦行戒律,到處行腳拜會名師學習了玄學法門.十年前才行腳至泰北的一座山上,當時師父禪定時,突然一道閃光凌空射下,Kruba Orr 覺得此處必為聖地,開始建立寺廟於此.
起初只有Kruba Orr 一人在此,時而山下有村民供養食物,Kruba Orr 就把一幅圖有青蛙的符布相贈,村民拿回家好好供奉,不出多時,那村民得到保估,從小生意做成貿易商,另決定盡全力幫助Kruba Orr 起廟. 他要求Kruba Orr 出鑄造青蛙聖物,一出後大受歡迎. 原來此聖物的名稱就是Pheya Kot Kin Lean,簡稱Kot Kin Lean,意譯為青蛙吸月,原本只是出供奉型,但很多村民信徒要求出佩帶型,一出後都搶購一空了.
