Luang Phor Hong

Luang Phor Hong was born on 23rd March BE 2461 at Tungmon village, Prasart District, Surin Province. His father was Mr Boak while his mother was Mrs Auen. Both of his parents were farmers. And amongst the children in the family ,Luang Phor Hong was the eldest as he has 8 brothers and sisters. 

At the age of 18, he was ordained as a novice and the monks such as Luang Phor Prae, Luang Phor Cheung and Luang Phor Gad would call him “Samanane Bromsorn” (Novice Bromsorn). By the time he reached the age of 20, he was ordained as a monk at Wat Petchaburi and was given the name “Brommapanyo”.

As a matter of fact, Luang Phor Hong had studied both theoretical, practical Dharma and magic from many guru monks. However 7 years after his ordination, he travelled to Cambodia to practice meditation and to seek peace. Afterward, he returned to Wat Petchaburi, where he was appointed as the abbot of the temple during the year BE 2516.

Despite the fact that Luang Phor Hong had already passed away on 5 March BE 2557, he remains to be known as one of the top guru monks of the present era. As he is known for his knowledge in both Dharma and Visha.

In actuality, Luang Phor Hong was a virtuous monk and performed many miracles such as bringing good luck and fortune to those who met him. He dedicated merit to people, cured patients with his wax and sacred water. His reputation as a guru monk extended as did the popularity of his amulets.

Prince Narodom of Cambodia held great respect for Luang Phor Hong. So much so that he attributed the blessings of the great monk to his success in regaining control of his country. It is said that the prince had asked Luang Phor Hong what he wanted from helping him at that time, to which Luang Phor Hong jokingly replied ''half of Cambodia''. After the victory, the prince offered half of Cambodia as promised, but Luang Phor obviously graciously declined.

Luang Phor Hong was also involved in many construction projects such as new temples, dams, schools, roads, health centres and forestry. As a result of his untiring efforts and charitable work he was awarded an insignia “Wheel of the Law” from Her Royal Highness Princess Theparatrajasuda in 1994. This was given in recognition of his services to the Buddhist religion and conservation. 

Stories about Luang Phor Hong:

Luang Phor Hong's knowledge of Visha had come from Cambodia and is widely-proven for its efficaciousness. There have been reports of miracles and beneficial experiences related to Luang Phor Hong and his sacred amulets among the locals of Surin Province, like protection from bullets and knives.

In fact, Luang Phor mentioned that his amulets were not only sacred but efficient. He said that ''you shouldn't even dispose of the box that came with the amulet. If you want to throw it away, please give it back to me.'' Also, he told his many disciples that “if my amulets do not work, may I die one hundred times a day”. Above all, you have to observe the five basic Buddhist precepts of moral practice. If you can follow these precepts, nothing can harm you.

It was said that unusual phenomena like lightning and thunderstorms have also occurred during consecration ceremonies held by Luang Phor Hong in the past. What is most amazing is that not a single candle or incense stick was extinguished during the ceremonies, despite heavy thunderstorms.

Holy beings have also been reportedly sighted at the ceremonies. Such can be seen in the  Dharma practice of Luang Phor Hong.

There have been many accounts in Thai media about Luang Phor Hong’s sacred item:

His Kumanthong is known to bring luck and protection. A small child was being bullied and teased at school. His father placed Luang Phor Hong’s Kumanthong  on the neck of his son and asked Luang Phor Hong specifically to bless the amulet to offer protection. When the boy was bullied again, he was able to lift up his much larger assailment and cast him aside.

His amulets are widely worn by border control soldiers and police who have survived many dangerous and seemingly fatal incidents. Numerous accounts exist of miraculous survival from bombs and bullets.  One incident  that had been reported about a bullet from a machine gun ignited and fell to the ground before hitting the intended target. This is known to be the effect of a magic incantation known as “Puen Taek Nam”

A policeman had wanted to test the “power” of his Takrut. So he placed the Takrut on the ground and fired his pistol at it. He attempted to shoot the Takrut three times at close range, and on each occasion he was unable to hit the target, which appeared to move by itself. He visited Luang Phor Hong for an explanation, who said '' the amulet is not for trying''

Another incident was the case of a Japanese gentleman who reported a large fire that had burnt a number of terraced houses to the ground, only a single dwelling escaped the inferno. That house had a framed sacred yant of Luang Phor Hong hanging on the door.
