LP Phrom of Wat Chongkhae
Little Writer :D
Today,
I would like to introduce readers a guru monk in Thai history “LP Phrom
of Wat Chongkhae”. Here is a story about LP Phrom of Wat Chongkhae,
Nakhon Sawan province.
LP
Phrom was born on Thursday 12 April 2426 B.E. (1883 C.E.) in Ayutthaya
province. He had 4 siblings. LP Phrom studied reading and writing with a
monk in his village. He studied Khmer (Cambodian) language together
with Thai language. When he was 20, he got ordained as a Buddhist monk
at Wat Khian Lai in his hometown on 15 March 2447 B.E. (1904 C.E.). His
monk name was “Thawaro”. After ordination, LP Phrom began meditation
(Kammatan)
LP
Phrom learnt magic from Ajarn Phuang who was a lay guru master before
being a monk. After ordination, LP Phrom learnt meditation from LP Dam 4
years. Then he learnt more magic from Ajarn Won who was a lay guru
master 5 years until Ajarn Won passed away. LP Phrom took bone ash of AJ
Won to Wat Chongkhae for worship. After that, LP Phrom exchanged
magical knowledge with monks who were his age and senior such as LP
Derm, etc.
LP Phrom went on a pilgrimage called “Tudong” in
Thailand and abroad. He once walked to Burma and stayed there long. One
day, LP Phrom passed Wat Chongkhae, Nakhon Sawan province and stopped to
do meditation there. At that time, there were 2 monks at Wat Chongkhae
but there was no an abbot. People saw LP Phrom and admired him, so they
ask him to be an abbot. LP Phrom was the first abbot of Wat Chongkhae.
With his good behavior, LP Phrom was respected by many people. People
gradually donated the lands to LP Phrom to enlarge the temple.
LP Phrom did not move to another temple. He stayed
at Wat Chongkhae for 54 years (1917-1971 C.E.) until he resigned from an
abbot in 2514 B.E. (1971 C.E.). LP Phrom built advantages for Wat
Chongkhae such as helping patients, patronizing the school, building
basic structures in Wat Chongkhae and so on.
LP Phrom passed away on 30 January 2518 B.E. (1975 C.E.). After death, his body does not decay.
Temple keeps his body in the glass coffin so that people can see and pay respect.
Experiences from Worshipers of LP Phrom:
1. A Man Survived from Gun!
One
disciple chosen to be a soldier came to pay respect to LP Phrom. LP
Phrom gave him a cloth which LP Phrom wrote Yant (holy characters) on by
himself. After that, a disciple went to work as a soldier and one day
he was shot but he survived because he carried a cloth from LP Phrom.
2. Holy Words!
After
story of cloth from LP Phrom spread, pieces of cloth were wanted by a
lot of people. A monk in Wat Chongkhae copied cloth from LP Phrom by
writing Yant by himself. He put cloth on sale. When LP Phrom knew that,
he blamed that monk. “Why did you do it? Are you crazy?” LP Phrom said
to that monk. In fact, people believed what LP Phrom said would come
true. Soon, that monk went crazy like LP Phrom said.
3. A Man Survived from Electric Shock!
A
man wearing LP Phrom medal rode a motorcycle in the heavy rain.
Accidentally, he hit the electrical wires from the old pole. High
electricity went through his body and he passed out immediately. He was
admitted to the hospital. He became unconscious for 2 months and
recovered after that.
