He learnt dharma and mantras from KB Pud.  After that, KB Noy traveled to study more dharma and mantras. KB Noy met KB PhromMa of Wat PhraPutTaBanhTakPhar, Lamphun Province who was good at meditation. So, he learnt dharma and mantras from KB PhromMa. Until age 20, KB Noy was ordained as a monk and came back to KB Pud and helped KB Pud develop the temple and the public. Additionally, KB Noy went on monk’s journey called “Tudong” to the woods to Thailand and Myanmar border. Tudong is a monk’s journey for mysticism.
