NOTE***:
LP Tae created and blessed KhunPaen Gumanthong both name-stamped back and
plain back.
In the old days it's easy to find both plain back and name-stamped back
items.
Cunning amulet "merchants" pushed the stamped-back items to much more higher
price making more profit by selling them as "LP Tae's" while selling
plain-back items as "LP Daeng's" (of Wat Thungkok, Suphanburi).
Actually, LP Tae (B.E.2434-2524) and LP Daeng (B.E.2440-2510) were friends
of each other. LP Daeng was 6 years junior to LP Tae and called LP Tae as "Luang
Pee" (elder brother monk). Their temples are not faraway.
Both LP Tae and LP Daeng often went into deep jungles to find woods for
temple construction.
LP Tae helped support LP Daeng by presenting a part of his plained-back
amulets to LP Daeng to raise fund for temple construction. So, this was
misunderstandably assumed that the plain-back items were created by LP Daeng.
LP Tae is one of a few great Gurus who could create so
efficacious GMT. LP Tae was a close disciple of LP Dha of Wat Paniang Taek,
an old-day great Guru of NakonPathom Province.
In around B.E.2470, a few years after LP Dha's passing away, LP Tae went to
learn higher Dhamma, magical knowledges and GMT making from LP Chaem of Wat
Takong who was also a greatest Guru in the WWII period.
LP Tae created GMT
of various kinds, such as holy powder table-size GMT, wearing wood-carved
GMT, wearing ivory-tusk GMT, wearing baked clay GMT, wearing holy-powder
GMT, etc.
GMT creation needs specific magical knowledge and high-leveled
Smadhi to give birth and life to him.
LP Tae passed away in B.E. 2524 at the age of 90. |
