Why are you so excited about mere strands of hair?

In the past, Luang Pu Boon Song shaved his head by himself. Luang Pu held a mirror in one hand and held a razor in another. Luang Pu looked into the mirror and shaved at the same time. And once Luang Pu put the razor down, Luang Pu threw his hair on the ground. It was like this for many years.


Then, a miracle happened when one of his pupils went by the mangosteen tree where Luang Pu always shaved his hair.


He saw something black and round in shape under the mangosteen tree. Looking closer, he found that this was a mass of hair clumped together into a ball with white solid objects scattered all over.


Who does this hair belong to? It definitely belongs to Luang Pu Boonsong; the hair that Luang Pu scattered all over the ground. They were miraculously combined.

The pupil was so excited and conveyed the news to Luang Pu. After Luang Pu learnt of the story, Luang Pu calmly replied, “It is merely hair."

The pupil, therefore, asked for an opportunity and permission from Luang Pu to keep the hair to pay homage to and took a picture.

Luang Pu didn’t say no. He also told the disciple that if he wanted to keep the hair, he could go ahead.

Luang Pu still mercifully taught the disciple:
" Why are you so excited about a mass of hair?
If you believe that my hair transformed into relics,
Then you’d better make your hair transform into relics too. This would be even better.
Consider this frequently. "

《那仅是发丝,你何必对此如此激动兴奋?》

一直以来,隆普文颂都是自己动手替自己剃头的。他一手持着镜子,而另一手则持着剃刀,然后一边望向镜中的自己,一边手起刀落。隆普剃完后把剃刀放下的同时,也会把落下的发丝丢弃遍布在地上,如此这般十年如一日。

某日,神奇的事发生了。隆普的一个弟子经过一棵山竹树(此树乃是隆普常在其下剃发之处),看见一颗呈圆状黑色之物。他好奇地往前一看,赫然发现此物原来乃是一大团缠绕成球状的头发,其表面还遍布着零星白色小点。

试问这些头发是属于谁的呢?不容置疑地,那肯定是之前隆普遗下的那些散落遍地的落发。很神奇地,这些落发竟然能够自行融合聚成一团。弟子雀跃地跑去禀告隆普,而隆普听后仍然保持平静,冷静地说,“那只不过是头发而已。”

弟子们接着请求隆普给予机会与允许,以便他们能带走这些头发以作供奉,以及拍照留念。隆普没有明言拒绝,仅说,“你要带走的话,那就随你意吧。” 虽然如此,隆普仁慈地劝导弟子说,“何必要对一团头发如此激动?既然你相信我的头发可以转化成舍利子,那不如也把你自己的头发转化成舍利子,如此这般岂不是更好、更值得被赞叹?你应当常常如此思维。”
