LP Soi Wijaro, B.E. 2503
Wat ThamKaoKaew , Saraburi
 When LP Soi Wijaro was young, he was never educated in normal school like other boys but living in ThamKaoKaew cave, Saraburi, since he was 7 years old. There were 3 monks also living in the cave. They scarcely talked to each other. After they had had breakfast, they started meditation all day and night. The young LP Soi was also taught to meditate. When he was 20 years old, he ordained a monkhood at his home town and then went back to the cave to continue his meditation.

LP Soi reached highest Dhamma of Pati SamPhidhayarn which covers all miraculous performing. 

B.E.2503 or 2504 he was ill and invited by Rear Admiral Sanit, the then Director General of Navy Medical Department, to have medical treatment at the hospital. During staying at the hospital, he still did BindhaBart (a task of living of monk by carrying a bowl in every early morning to receive food from merit-doing people).

Every morning, LP Soi would walk down from his ward toward a big tree by the hospital gate. He hanged his bowl to a branch of the tree, standed quitetly, and closed his eye for a while. Then he would take the bowl back and return to his ward. In the bowl, there was pale yellow cooked rice with a few big flowers that have never seen on the earth. LP Soi received food from Rukkha Devas.

Phra MahaVira Thavaro ( later Phra RajPhromyarn), a disciple of LP Parn of Wat Bangnomkho who also attained ultra high Dhamma, went to the hospital by chance. He was told by doctors about the strange practice of LP Soi. Phra MahaVira doubted by his Yana (intuition) that LP Soi might be Phra Ariya ( ultra high Dhamma monk), so he adviced to gather 5-6 doctors who could speak foreign languages such as English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese and Malay, to make language tests.

The group of doctors spoke to LP Soi with those various languages. LP Soi responded foreign language matching to each doctor who spoke to him. Lastly, when asked, LP Soi said that he understood those languages by his intuition and spoke them out like Thai. After the test, Phra Maha Vira pointed out that LP Soi was a PatiSamPhitayarn Arahant who had highest ability on miraculous conducting including the following:

1. Knowing all human and creature languages without learning.

2. Knowing all Tripitaka thoroughly without learning.

3. Shortening long distance and rushly reach any destination with a short time.             

LP Soi made only few types of amulets in B.E.2503. He passed away in B.E.2506. The above amulet is a very rare-to-find item. It's a great amulet created by real great Guru. Only lucky one will own this so great amulet.  

Vocab:
Rukkha = tree
Devas = deities
