Although many series of Luang Phor Thuad amulets have been consecrated and those crated at Wat Chang Hai are without doubt the most popular, many people unfortunately overlook equally sacred amulets created by one great Southern Monk, Luang Phor Daeng.
Phra Archarm Tim Dharmataro, also known as Prakru Visai Sobhon, was the head monk involved in the creation of the very first series of Luang Phor Thuad amulets at Wat Changhai, in B.E. 2497.
He invited many senior monks to the blessing ceremony, including Luang Phor Daeng Suntaro (Prakru Viruch Sobhon), a sacred monk of Wat Sri Maha Pho, a monk highly regarded for his dedication to the Buddhist faith.
Luang Phor Daeng Suntaro was born to the “Jindawong” family on June 18th, B.E.2445. His family comprised of 4 brothers and sisters, all of whom have since passed away.
Over 90 years ago Luang Phor Daeng just a small lad lived in a poor communal farming village named Puk-Or. At that time no modern technology existed including running water or electricity, even the roads were non existent. There were of course no schools and all the children, including Luang Phor Daeng, were educated by the adults that surrounded them.
At the age of 7, his village suffered a serious outbreak of small pox, then incurable, taking the lives of much of the local population. Luang Phor Daeng is recorded to have said that prior to the deadly infliction a loud, mysterious noise was heard, almost as if they were being warned of the impending disaster.
As a result of the disease Mr.Kuer Jindawong, Luang Phor Daeng's father, moved his family away to another village in he same province where he was to re-start a new life.
Fortunately, Mr. Kuer had met some very kind people, who helped his family re-establish themselves. Mr Srikaew Maniprom, the the village head, also donated land near Wat Maduertong on which to build a new house for the family.
At that time of course Buddhist temples were also an important as they provided the young with an education, which included religious studies, languages and in some cases magic sciences from the senior monks.Luang Phor Daeng Suntaro, as a young child was a keen student, and dedicated himself to learn all that he could from the then senior monk Luang Phor Sibhut. He was taught at the age of 14 sacred spells such as Prasutra Jedtumnan and Pra Patimok, remembering every single word by the age of 16, when he returnd home to his family.
Two years later, aged 18, Luang Phor Daeng Suntaro was ordained by Luang Phor Sibhut as a novice monk on May 13th, B.E. 2463, at Wat Kapo. (renamed as “Wat Maduertong” in B.E. 2497)
At 21 years of age, Luang Phor Daeng Suntaro was officially ordained a monk by Luang Phor Sibhut, Pra Atikarn Sook Puntasaro, a senior monk of Wat Prangmadun, Pranuam Dharma Kamo, a senior monk of Wat Kapo. He was given the Buddhist name “Suntaro”.
Nine months after his ordination he as able to pass the “Nak Dharma level 3”
Once Luang Phor Daeng was asked to travel by foot to Saiburi State of Malaysia where he was to invite the ash of Luang Phor Iad, the former abbot of Wat Tungkwai back to Thailand.
He faced many difficulties to traverse the mountainous forests, which took him almost 4 months, just so he could bring home the ashes from the funeral at Wat Tanode, Sabayoi District, Songkla Province as Luang Phor Iad had wanted.
His true dedication and devotion did not go un-noticed by local folk who asked if he could remain as Abbot of Wat Tanode but he had to decline due to other duties to Buddhism.
In B.E.2483, World War II Luang Phor Daeng remained at Wat Tohteng, Su-ngai Padi District, Naratiwas Province.
He was made aware that Luang Phor Sibhut, abbot of Wat Maduertong had passed away, he risked his life to return to Wat Maduertong to help console the locals, who had also invited him to become the new abbot. Luang Phor Daeng dedicated his life to develop the temple which he achieved with great success.
Shortly after the funeral, a series of commemorative sacred amulets under the royal patronage were created to give for free to all participants.
Phra Thep-Yanamoli, head monk of Pattani Province, had known that an ancient temple called Wat Bandon had been abandoned for a long time and asked Luang Phor Kimsui, head monk of Kokbhothi District to renovate the building.
In B.E.2494 Luang Phor Daeng was appointed by Luang Phor Kimsui to lead the team responsible for the repair of the temple. It was renamed Wat Sri Maha Pho.
Because of his hark work, it wasn't long after that Luang Phor Daeng was appointed as the new abbot of the temple.
It was recorded that on the very first day that Luang Phor Daeng and his followers entered Wat Bandon, it was infested with poisonous insects which caused havoc with the workers and progress with restoration.
During that night Luang Phor Daeng dreamt that a previous senior monk was not happy that many people had enetered the temple without permission from the sacred souls who remained to protect the building.
As a result of this dream Luang Phor Daeng organized a sacred ceremony to apologize to the sacred souls. Shortly afterwards a miracle occurred, all the insects vanished, leaving the team free to work on the building in comfort.Luang Phor Daeng’s workers also discovered a small sacred chedi that had kept the sacred ash of Luang Phor Bunyarit, who was known to have been the first abbot and architect of the temple.
