The "Living Saint" Luang Phor Koon
Luang Phor Koon (LP Koon) is a household name in Thailand and throughout Southeast Asia, revered as the "Living Saint of Fortune." He spent most of his life at Wat Banrai in Nakhon Ratchasima. His most iconic image is of him crouching on a chair, holding a small wooden stick used to lightly tap devotees on the head, driving away bad luck and opening the path to wisdom and prosperity.
The Secret to Wealth: Do Good Results
LP Koon’s most famous teaching was: "If you want to be wealthy, you must go and do good deeds." The massive amount of donations he received through his amulets was almost entirely funneled into building hospitals, schools, and public utilities in Thailand. He believed that the amulet is just a key, but true wealth comes from the act of giving.
Features of LP Koon’s Amulets
LP Koon was renowned for his powerful "Wealth Attraction" and "Accident Prevention" (Kong Grapan) methods.
- Phra Pidta and Self-Portraits: His Phra Pidta (especially from the BE 2536 and 2537 series) and various self-portrait medals are highly sought after by collectors.
- The Golden Takrut: LP Koon personally implanted small golden Takrut (magic scrolls) under the skin of many devotees' arms, believed to provide miraculous protection during life-threatening moments.
The Iconic Head-Tapping Blessing
During his peak, thousands of people queued daily for a "head-tap" from the master. It was more than just a ritual; it was a profound trust in his virtue. Many followers reported a sense of inner peace and subsequent career success after receiving his blessing.
Spiritual Legacy
LP Koon passed away in BE 2558. In his will, he requested a simple funeral and donated his body to medical research, once again fulfilling his lifelong promise of "giving."
Conclusion
Wearing an LP Koon amulet is not just about attracting wealth; it’s about remembering his teaching: prosperity cannot be separated from diligence and merit-making. When you strive with a kind heart, the blessings of the "Living Saint" will always be with you.
