One of the top 10 Guru monks of Thailand is Luang Phor
Jong of Wat NaTangNok Temple, BangSai district, Ayuthaya province
He passed
away on the Buddhist important MaKhaBuCha day of February 17th, B.E.2508, at
the age of 93. Luang Phor Jong and Luang Phor Parn of Wat BangNomKho were close
friends and respected each others high Dhamma practice. They had the same
teachers, LP Soon of Wat BangPlaMoh and LP Paan of Wat PikulSokant. Even Luang
Phor Parn who reached very high miraculous knowledges of "Apinya" and
"Wipassana", spoke often of his admiration of Luang Phor Jong as a
great monk.
There are many stories told about Luang Phor Jong. One evening
as he was resting at the pier in front of his temple, a small group of men
rowed across the canal. After securing their boat one said disrespectfully to
Luang Phor Jong, "Luang Phor, would you guard my boat because I am told
there are many thieves here." Luang Phor Jong gracefully acknowledged,
" Alright, I'll guard your boat as mine...don't worry." The group of
men came back to the pier at around midnight, they saw Luang Phor Jong still
sitting alone at the pier. "Wow, how obedient, you're still sitting here
for all these hours. I thank you for guarding my boat." Luang Phor Jong
replied, "You ordered me to guard your boat and I did so as was
requested." The following evening the men came to Luang Phor Jong's Kuti
(monk's house) with flowers, incense and candles. They paid homage to Luang
Phor Jong and remarked "We have come to apologize for ordering you to
guard our boat. We were unaware you are Luang Phor Jong, so please forgive us
for such a grievous sin. Please bestow your forgiveness." Luang Phor Jong
responded, “You ordered me and I accepted your demand. This is no sin but from
now forward never order any monk whomever they are as your servant." He then
briefed them of Buddha's Dhamma. The men listened quietly and wept respectfully
at Luang Phor Jong's feet.
Luang Phor Jong was known to be a great benefactor. For temples
troubled by lack of Kutis, he would have his disciples dismantle their own and
deliver to fellow temples in desperate need.
There are stories of thieves coming to Luang Phor’s temple to
steal precious valuables. Luang Phor Jong would knowing and willingly provide
such articles to the thieves while preaching that stealing a monk's few
possessions was a great sin. As a result of his actions and teachings many
thieves gave up stealing.
Luang Phor Parn, Wat
BangNomKho and Luang Phor Jong
Luang Phor Parn of Wat BangNomKho very much admired and
respected Luang Phor Jong. So much so that as example Luang Phor Parn taught
his disciples that one should never beg from a monk of such high virtue as he
would give willingly everything that was begged for. Whenever Laung Phor Parn
performed religious ritual at his temple, he would invite Luang Phor Jong to
join. Once Luang Phor Parn requested a disciple to bring Luang Phor Jong by
motor boat to join a ceremony. Luang Phor Jong told the disciple to proceed
back to the ceremony by way of boat and that he would join later. As soon as
the disciple returned, he reported to Luang Phor Parn that Luang Phor Jong
would come later. Luang Phor Parn laughed and pointed to Luang Phor Jong
sitting in front of him. How did he come in such immediate time? There were
many miles between the two temples. If walking this would take several hours.
It was recorded that Luang Phor Jong reached the highest knowledge of
"PatiSamPhiThaYan" which provids the the greatest ability to exercise
miracles of all kinds. Whoever reaches this state will have comprehensive knowledge
over all Tri Pitaka with ease to rush anywhere in short time.
Luang Phor Jong
created many kinds of amulets in the period of WW II, such as medals, small
statues, ivory-tusk Rajasihas, metal Ta Pian fish, takrut, yant and lip wax.
His amulets are recognized as very powerful in warding off dangers of
any kind and wealth fetching luck-
