Thai Buddha Amulet Monk Luang Phor Poon

Thai Buddha Amulet Monk Luang Phor Poon was born on November 11^th, 1912. He had nine other brothers and sisters who lived in a modest home in Tambon Don Yaihom in Thailand. When Luang Phor Poon was 22 years old, he joined the Siamese Royal Army. He stayed for 18 months and was well known for his valor. One story describes him as spotting a dangerous attacker before any other members of his platoon. LP Poon gave a hand signal to silence everyone else. Normally, a group would only follow the commander, but in this case, everyone (even the leader) silenced themselves and ended up surviving because of LP Poon’s perceptiveness and foresight.

When Luang Phor Poon was 26 he has ordained a monk at Wat Phar Ngarm.  He focused on concentration and mindfulness as well as the Buddhist lifestyle. He also became a master of amulets and magic candles. For this art, he studied under LP Ngurm, LP Prom, and LP Su. His Knowledge of visha is also highly respected.

Luang Phor Poon also completed a spiritual journey known as a ‘” Tudong’”. This is when a monk goes on a trip deep into the jungle. The point of the journey is to gain insight as well as to build up positive karma. Many monks gain knowledge and understanding while in the solitude of the jungle.

Before his tudong journey, Luang Phor Poon was known for stillness and mindfulness. This was increased after his tudong. He was known for his quiet nature and calm reflection of a situation. He did not speak much unless he believed it was important.  Luang Phor Poon passed away at the age of 93.
