LP Nong's Great Rare-to-find Amulets
The above LP Nong's two-side, Leela & Soomkor amulet is a very rare-to-find item. Either Phim Leela or Phim Soomkor is LP Nong's popular item; and, normally, it would be found with a plain backside. But once in a very long time, a special two-side, Leela & Soomkor item may luckily be found. It's really a super amulet made and blessed by LP Nong of Wat KlongMadan, Suphanburi, for professional progress, safty and protection.       

Before the Great Guru LP Niam of Wat Noi, Suphanburi, passed away in B.E.2453, he had told LP Parn of Wat BangnomKho, " my son, if I die and you have any unclear Dhamma or Visha, please go to see LP Nong--he will take my place."

LP Nong was a very comprehensive miraculous Guru. The few square meter of land he stepping on for Dhamma Practice is a little bit wet for soft stepping. One day he was walking on the temple field, a strange sound emerged from the ground underneath," Nong....Nong.....there are Buddha remains underneath the field you are stepping on, please build a Jedi to cover the spot to protect people from stepping because it's a great sin to walk over the Buddha remains." Not long after that LP Nong built a Jedi at the spot.        

There was a Phra Borom Dhat (Buddha remain) sprang out from the palate in his mouth. Once LP Parn asked him, " Guru, it's widely said that you have a Buddha remain in your mouth, is that true? "  LP Nong nodded his head with a little smile. Then, LP Parn pay a respect to the Guru.    

LP Nong highly respected a small Buddha statue in his Kuti. He would ask the Buddha statue for every important activity. When he was a young monk, he wished to build a Big Buddha statue, but still had no idea how to find an artisan to sculpt the statue. He asked his little Buddha how to solve the problem. The Buddha statue told him that just walk along the road enroute to Ayuthaya, " you will see the old man with the white cloth, it's he will help you."

LP Nong followed the Buddha statue advice, he met the old man waiting to present food for him. After the food was put into LP Nong's bowl, the old man said, " Guru, I heard that you are planning to build a big Buddha statue."

The LP nodded his head. And the old man said, " so, I will go to you temple to help sculpt and cast the Buddha statue." Three days later, the old man really came to Wat KlongMadan.  

The old man helped sculpt and cast a beautiful big Buddha statue. After finished his work, he left the temple quietly. No one knew when and where did he go. LP Nong wanted to pay him for sculpting the statute. So he walked along the same route to the place where he had met the old man and asked local people about him, but no one knew him.

After coming back to his Kuti, LP Nong asked his small Buddha statue about the old man, the statue said, " no need to find the old man because he is not ordinary person, but the Deva."

LP Nong passed away in B.E.2477 at the age of 68. The posture of his pass-away is side-reclining with his two hands at the chest level paying last respect to Lord Buddha. His body is undecomposed as same as his Guru LP Niam. And when LP Parn passed away 4 years later in B.E.2481, LP Parn's body was also undecomposed.
