龙浦tim为当今泰国著名的高僧,对于Dharma和Visha (超自然的法术)有极深的修为,关于大师所督造的佛牌也有无数的奇迹发生,虽然大师年事已高但仍然积极地参与其他庙宇的法会,可见大师为佛教的真诚付出。大师于1913年3 月出世在巴考区(啊哟塔亚省),大师的父亲名为prom,母亲名为Gim Chumchokdee,在家中6兄弟姐妹中排行第5,大师最早期在比库佛寺(wat pikul)(帮半区,啊哟塔亚区)出家为僧,剃度仪式由龙婆pui (wat kwid),龙婆刘。颇扣超佛寺(wat pohkobchao)及比库佛寺住持"龙婆留"共同主持。后来由于各人的原因龙浦tim向比库佛寺住持“龙婆留”还俗,并在1948年4月14日再次回来寺庙出家,当代大师“龙婆商“。楠涛佛寺(wat namtao)为龙浦tim再次出家的梯度师,大师在比库佛寺修行直到1949才移去巴考佛寺(wat pakao),而当时的巴考佛寺住持是“阿占ting“,期间大师非常认真研究佛学,直到1957年被授予佛教的最高水平证书,同时也在1955年被任命为巴考佛寺的住持。在1967年大师被提升为“区院长“,在1969年大师也被泰国皇帝授予证明书提升为“第三级帕古“,而在1977年更被提升为“第二级帕古“受封法号为“帕古商沃拉萨马拉季“,大师是一位善良慈悲的僧人所以人们对大师的迅速晋升并不感到奇怪。大师在职间为重新兴建巴考佛寺做出了许多的贡献,在1956年至1957年间兴建了9间僧人的宿舍,在1958年兴建了佛寺大殿,更换了巴考佛寺的所有瓦片与瓷砖,重新修饰巴考佛寺的墙壁 ,为寺庙周围建水泥和钢墙壁, 并且在佛寺前面建一间避雨亭,创建了一个火葬场,翻修佛教教育馆,创建了男女厕所和浴室,创建了桥梁以方便僧侣从宿舍往来佛教教育馆,还有等等数不尽的贡献,大师这种无私的付出,是值得我们尊敬与学习的!
