LP
Tae was a monk who possessed a lot of metta (loving-kindness) and bahramee
(power). Whenever LP Tae went for Tudong, many villagers would give money and
things to him, but LP Tae never accepted them except the morning alms. The
villagers were unhappy because they wanted LP Tae to accept the money so that
he could use the money to make merits for them. LP Tae accepted some of the
money and carried with him because he did not know where to keep them.
One
day, a robber wanted to rob LP Tae’s money, but LP Tae did not stop him, but LP
Tae told the robber that the money was not his, but belonged to the villagers
who wished to make merits. If he took the money, the villagers would be
disappointed because the money was meant for merit making. After hearing, the
robber felt ashamed and ran off.
LP Tae had supernatural power to see wondering souls of the
dead that roamed the surroundings and especially souls of those young children.
In order to give an opportunity for those souls to make merit before rebirth,
LP Tae decided to cast the souls into a child-like statue and give it people
who needed help. LP Tae had learned such art from LP Chaem of Wat Takong and
also an unnamed monk from Cambodia.
According
to a story told by the villagers of Nakhon Pathom, in year BE 2483, there lived
an unlucky food peddler in the town center of Nak Kan Bahn. He was a great chef
but no matter how hard he worked, he didn't manage to succeed in his business.
One morning while traveling to the town to set up his stall, he met a preaching
monk along the way. Immediately, he put down his stuff and scooped a big bowl
of food and presented it to the monk.
After
finished the food, the monk walked along with the peddler and spoke with him.
He then knew the hardship and unluckiness of the peddler. As they parted, the
monk took out a clay doll-like statue from his bag and gave it to the peddler,
telling him to treat it well everyday so that his luck will change. Soon after
that, the peddler's business got better and better. He then came to know that
the monk who gave him the statue was LP Tae, abbot of Wat Sam Ngam and the
statue was called 'Kumantong'.
Wat
Sam Ngam produced numerous pendants of LP Tae that has brought extreme good
luck and great fortune to many people. Many occasions were recorded that people
wearing LP Tae's amulets were unharmed from accidents and there were also
stories told by many villagers (some still living today) and people from all

one by wearing amulets of LP Tae.
