⛔️ Luang Pu Boonsong at Phu Hin Rong Kla ⛔️
Luang Pu Boonsong ~ Luang Pu have mercy to tells the story of a past time when His Highness went to pray. Seeking Mokkha Dharma in the forests along the Phan hills faced many dangers. Let's fight each other to find the true dharma that the Buddha has presided over...
Part of the conversation Reverend Grandfather Luang Pu Boonsong had mercy to tell us that. He travel to many areas not even the red areas that are abundantly Communist Party or Superintendent at Phu Hin Rong Kla, Phitsanulok Province, at that time was full of intense communism.
He go hiking with Luang Phor Prasit Punyamaro of Wat Pa Mu Mai, Chiang Mai Province (Luang Pu Boonsong will respectfully call him 'Ajarn Prasit'). In those days, both parents and teachers were devoted to the Dharma and had courageous minds ready to face everything that lay ahead.
He set out to discover the true Dharma in order to destroy all desires and desires to disappear. Where is it dangerous? That place you will travel to destroy the passion that exists. Going to many areas, many places, forest after forest. Cave after cave, especially in communist-intensive areas such as Phu Hin Rong Kla.
Luang Pu said that ~ In those days, outsiders were very afraid. Because it is considered the stronghold of the Communist Party. No one outside dared to enter. When you walk through that area. Rested in prayer. Luang Pu said that a calm area. It is very suitable for praying. Because it is full of intricate mysteries of mountains as far as the eye can see.
Due to the landscape like this, when the NCPO's armed forces were present, no one could approach the area. But Reverend Grandfather Luang Pu eloquently stated that
"...In fact, at that time our country's communists. It's not like other communism. Elsewhere, destroy all opposite sides. No religion. But our home communists not that cruel. The heart is still gentle, according to the habits of Thai people. Because he is actually a Thai person too. He was a person who had been in the city before, but something turned upside down, so he had to decide to go into the forest and take up arms against the authorities. Only because of conflicting ideologies. But other things aren't that scary."
Reverend Grandfather Luang Pu said that ~ While he was meditating at Klod in the forest at Phu Hin Rong Kla. He too often heard the voices of communists as he patrolled his way. There will be a voice among the patrol teams that.. Don't go that way, there is a monk.. There will always be a voice like this.
During the time that Luang Pu prayed there. He said he wasn't that heartless... At that time, Phu Hin Rong Kla was very fertile and the atmosphere is the best. Therefore, it is one of the strongholds of the Superintendent. It is an atmosphere that is still remembered to this day.
Another point that is considered a strategic point is Phu Phan Mountains in the northeastern region of Sakon Nakhon Province, this place is equally beautiful and plentiful. He said that in the past, the forest was still plentiful, and wherever he prayed, he would always find peace. There are very few forests left now ...
Been traveling a lot in the forest. He have been practicing meditation with the forest all the time. Reverend Grandfather Luang Pu then asked that this was the reason why he liked to stay in the forest. Going wild more than anywhere. Even now it's time to sleep. He often imagine himself in the middle of the forest. In the midst of animals because otherwise it will not sleep. Luang Pu Boonsong like this.
etc....conversation with the others Monk for a while with a massage offering Luang Pu Boonsong have mercy to tells stories. Until it is the right time to let him rest.
Luang Pu always said that
"... If there is no Bot (Ubosot = Ordination Hall) in this place, don't expect to see us. Dharma takes us into the forest. But the Bot takes us into town..."
