Luang Long Dum
A bit of Luang Long Dum background sharing to my friends who don't know LP. Luang Long Dum was one of the close disciple of Luang Phu Doo. During Luang Phu Doo time, Luang Long Dum was a close disciple who made fresh brew tea to LP Doo every morning. Luang Long Dum was a very hardworking monk who learn a lots from LP Doo and LP Sie too. Luang Long Dum main interest was not in wicha(magic) but in meditation and also medicinal herbs making. Hence a lots of local villagers knew of Luang Long Dum miracle medicine he made himself. Which is famous for treating cholesterol, low blood pressure, headache, back pain, strengthening the immune system against fever or flu. During Luang Long Dum younger days, Luang Phu Doo always persuade Luang Long to go tudong and meet more geji ahjan to learn different thing and seek answers. One of Luang Long Dum encounter was when Luang Phu ask him to go Lampang and meet one of the guru there. Luang Long went alone to Lampang. Upon reaching the area. A monk came to greet him and told Luang Long Dum, he was expecting him and his kuti was being prepared as per request from Luang Phu Doo. Luang Long Dum was surprised and asked how do you know. The monk replied your master told me this morning. Whereas Luang Phu Doo is in temple this morning. The monk just smiled and said I am your master good friend Luang Phor Kasem Khemako. Hence Luang Long Dum started to pursue his practise for mindfulness meditation further which thai call Phra Pathibat Tham.
** Luang Phor Kasem and Luang Phu Doo has equal respect for each other but they have not met each other at all. Both communicate through meditation. **
