Luang Phor Kong - Wat Wang Sapparos

Luang Phor Kong, was born on September 20th, B.E.2445, to the family of Mr. Song and Mrs.Ong. He was officially ordained twice, the first time aged 21, at Wat Taprai, Trad Province, but resigned shortly after.

In B.E.2477, he was again officially ordained at Wat Chompulai, Trad Province, by Pra Atikarn Pook, who acted as Pra Upacha.

In BE 2508 he was appointed as the abbot of Wat Wungsaparos, Chantaburi Province and governed the temple until B.E.2532, when he passed away.

Luang Phor Kong was educated in both Lord Buddha’s Dharma and sacred sciences, which he learnt from many sacred monks including his own grand father named Luang Kiriket, who’s specialized in the sacred science that could protect worshippers from all kinds of weapons. He also learned studied under Luang Phor May of Wat Marppai, Luang Phor Um of Wat Stonoi, Luang Phor Joh of Wat Pongrongsen, etc.

 

Moreover he also traveled to Burma to learn a sacred science called Sursaming in which he became highly specialised. Upon returning to his homeland he created many sacred amulets which feature the tiger.

(Note: Seuasaming was derived from an ancient legend about the sacred soul of fierce tigers, which could transform into a man or a woman during the night hours. Thai people would be warned not to listen or follow any mysterious sounds after nightfall as it could be the sound of Seuasaming luring them.)

Because of his sacred power, he was much respected by many other senior monks such as Luang Poo Toh of Wat Praduchimpli, Luang Poo Krum of Wat Wungwa and Luang Por Srinual of Wat Kwianhuk.

Moreover many temples throughout Thailand often invited him to join sacred-spell ceremonies to help create amulets. He never refused despite the fact that his entire time ewas devoted to helping the sick with secret herbal remedies.

Luang Phor Kong was also a keen artist, and many of his amulets also feature drawings of either the tiger or Phra Pitda.
Luang Phor Kong had passed away on September 25th, B.E.2532, at 10.15 a.m., aged 87, having served Buddhism for around 55 years.

Luang Phor Kong was highly respected for his dedication. During World War II he had created many kinds of amulets to help protect innocent people from bombs and bullets.

Indeed many  of his amulets became very famous and respected for their sacred power such as Pra Yodtong, which had saved a woman’s life from a deadly accident at Nongkla Market, Tamai District.

 All of his amulets are still highly respected today for their sacred power although he  passed away 20 years ago.
