The Story of Maha Sivali Thera

The birth of a Sivali
At the time of Gautama Buddha, there reigned a righteous king and queen named Koliya and Suppavasa. After some time Queen Suppavasa became pregnant. And the unborn child brought great fortune to the kingdom. Not only did the queen receive many gifts from friends and relatives, but the entire realm became prosperous. Crops grew in abundance, and everyone was well-fed and healthy.

The queen grew heavy with child but when the natural time for the birth arrived (10 lunar months), she failed to deliver the baby. She grew uneasy as time passed without sign of the birth. She asked the king to invite the Buddha and his Sangha for a meal. After the meal the Buddha said:

“May Suppavasa, daughter of the Koliya Clan,Be happy, healthy, and give birth to a healthy son.”

After the Buddha departed, the queen gave birth to a beautiful, healthy son. As a mark of respect for the Buddha, who had eased the queen’s heavy burden with his blessings, he and his retinue were invited to receive alms at the palace for seven days.

The prince was named Sivali, since from the time of his conception, the people’s hardships were alleviated by virtue of the rich and abundant crops.
Previous life of Sivali
One day when Sariputra was on his alms round, he visited the prince and informed him of the suffering that he and his mother had undergone because of the delayed pregnancy.

Sariputra went on to explain to the prince the unwholesome karma that his mother and he had performed and the resultant effects of their actions:

In a previous birth Sivali had been born as the king of Benares (Varanasi) and had waged war on a neighboring kingdom in collaboration with his consort, his present mother. He had surrounded the kingdom and told the citizens to surrender or fight. When they refused to surrender, together they decided to surround the city and hold the citizens hostage.

The citizens, who neither wanted to fight back nor live under the rule of such a king, had refused to surrender. As a result they suffered greatly without food for a very long period. Many of the sick and the elderly had died. Yet, the arrogant king and his queen had not given in. Many months later the king withdrew his troops and released his hostages, but he paid dearly for the suffering he had caused.

When he died he was reborn in Avici, an infernal world of torment. The delayed pregnancy and the suffering he and his mother had undergone as a result of the delay were the residual effects of this karma.

Ordination & immediate Arahant attainment of Sivali
After illustrating the first noble truth of suffering, Sariputra asked the prince if he would like to join the Noble Order so as to pursue a path to the end of all suffering. The prince was overjoyed at this invitation and agreed to join the Order with his mother’s permission.

The queen, who was a devoted follower of the Buddha, agreed. She escorted Prince Sivali in a procession to the monastery to be ordained. On the day of her son’s ordination, when his hair was being shaved, Sariputra advised Sivali to meditate on the impurities of the body. Sivali was spiritually advanced as a result of previous wholesome actions and was therefore able to focus his mind as instructed. Before the shaving was completed, Sivali attained the supreme wisdom of nirvana.

Miracles of Sivali
The monks soon noticed a strange phenomenon when they were with Sivali. He always seemed to have an abundance of rich, fragrant food and the other requisites (robes, shelter, and medicine). And monks who were with him had the opportunity to share in the bounty. Wherever Sivali went, people flocked around to prepare food for him. Sivali was indeed blessed with all the requisites of a monk. And wherever Sivali traveled, he was well taken care of.

He and his large retinue of monks were once in an uninhabited forest for seven days. Nevertheless, they were not short of food. For the devas made sure that all of their requirements were met. Similarly when Sivali was traveling through the desert, his requisites were provided.
Declaration of Buddha on Sivali
The Buddha, noticing that Sivali was fulfilling a previous aspiration, declared him “foremost among monks in obtaining requisites.” He instructed monks who were traveling on long, difficult journeys through uninhabited terrain to be accompanied by Sivali to ensure that they would have their requisites met.

In fact, on one occasion when the Buddha and a retinue of 30,000 monks were traveling to visit the monk Khadhiravaniya Revata (Sariputra’s younger brother), they had to cross an uninhabited forest. Ananda, fearing that they would not be able to obtain food in the jungle for such a large number of monks, questioned the Buddha about the logistics of the journey.

The Buddha assured Ananda that they had nothing to worry about as Sivali was with them. With Sivali present there would be no shortage of food because even the devas reveled in donating provisions.

Why Maha Thera Sivali was blessed with such merits
To find the cause of this strange phenomenon, it is necessary to go back many aeons to the time of Padumuttara Buddha. Sivali had been born as a poor man at that time but had the rare opportunity to see that Buddha confer on a monk the designation “foremost among monks in obtaining requisites.” Fascinated by the way everyone desired to provide alms and robes to this monk, Sivali decided that he too would like to hold that position in a future birth.

He then performed many acts of generosity to Padumuttara Buddha and the Sangha in that ancient dispensation. Having done so, he made an aspiration. Padumuttara Buddha, foreseeing that Sivali’s aspiration would be fulfilled, prophesized that at the time of Gautama Buddha he would be foremost among monks in obtaining requisites.
From this point onwards, Sivali had started in earnest to work towards his aspiration. At death he was reborn in a celestial realm where he enjoyed many thousands of years of heavenly bliss. The next documented birth-story (jataka) took place at the time of Vipassi Buddha 91 world-cycles (maha-kalpas or “aeons”) before Gautama Buddha. Sivali was then born as a merchant in the city of Bandhumati. The city was preparing a great almsgiving for Vipassi Buddha and his Sangha.

They realized they were short on curd and honey, a dessert that was often served after the noonday meal. Word was sent all over the city to obtain the required delicacies. Unable to obtain the necessary items, the king’s men raised the price of curd and honey from one gold coin to 100 gold coins.

In the meantime, Sivali (a merchant who sold curd and honey) was approached and offered 100 gold coins for his merchandise. He was surprised at the unusually high price being offered and enquired for whose consumption they were buying the curd. On being told that it was for Vipassi Buddha and the Sangha, Sivali asked permission to donate his wares. He renewed his aspiration to be foremost among monks in obtaining requisites.

Vipassi Buddha, seeing that Sivali’s aspiration would be fulfilled, blessed him by saying, “May your aspiration be fulfilled!” Sivali then became a devotee of Vipassi Buddha and practiced the Dharma in that dispensation.

Resulting from this strong aspiration and the meritorious deeds and efforts performed in previous births, Sivali fulfilled his aspiration to be foremost among in obtaining requisites at the time of Gautama Buddha. Even now, some Buddhists venerate the saint (i.e., enlightened) Sivali and often keep a picture or this discourse in their home as a symbol of abundance of food and prosperity.

Dhammapada 414 about Ven. Sivali While residing in the Kundadhana Forest near the city of Kundakoliya, the Buddha uttered Verse 414, with reference to the Maha Thera Sivali.Princess Suppavasa of Kundakoliya was pregnant for seven years.

Thereafter, she was in labor for seven days. She continued to contemplate the rare qualities of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. And in the end she sent her husband to the Buddha to pay obeisance to him on her behalf and to inform him of her condition. When informed of the condition of the princess, the Buddha said, “May Suppavasa be free from danger and from sorrow; may she give birth to a healthy noble son in safety.”

As the Buddha spoke these words, Suppavasa gave birth to a son at her house. On that very day, soon after the birth of her child, the queen invited the Buddha and the Sangha to their home for alms. The newborn offered filtered water to the Buddha and the bhikkhus. To celebrate the birth of the child, the parents invited the Buddha and the recluses to their home to offer food for seven days.

 When the child grew up he was admitted into the Sangha and came to be known as the monk Sivali. As soon as his head was shaved, he attained enlightenment. He later became famous as the recluse who received the most offerings. As a recipient, he was unsurpassed.


On one occasion, the recluses asked the Buddha the reason for Sivali confinement in his mother’s womb for seven years although he had the qualifications to become an arhat. The Buddha replied, “O recluses, in a previous existence, Sivali was the son of a king who lost his kingdom to another king. In trying to regain the kingdom, he had besieged the city on the advice of his mother. As a result, the people in the city were without food or water for seven days.

This unskillful deed was the cause of Sivali’s imprisonment in his mother’s womb. But now, Sivali has come to the end of all suffering; he had realized nirvana.

The Buddha then uttered this verse: “Him I call a brahmin who, having traversed this dangerous swamp (passion), this difficult road (defilements), this ocean of life and death (Samsara) and darkness of ignorance (moha), and having crossed the fourfold flood, has reached the other shore (nirvana), who practices tranquility and mindfulness, who is free from craving and doubt, who clings to nothing and remains in perfect peace.

Sivali is worshiped by Thai people as the greatest fortune-fetching monk.
Sivali was an important disciple of Lord Buddha. He was praised by the Lord as the most miraculous monk for fortune.


Buddhist legend says the Lord and his large group of diciples made a pilgrimage to a jungle for meditation practices.There were no people but gods and the unseen creatures existed along the way they went by.The deep jungle really caused troubles, no people offered food to Lord Buddha and all his disciple monks.

How and where could they get food from? Had they anything to eat ?
The Lord's closest disciple, Anondha, was strongly worried about that. But the Lord soothed him to worrynothing because Sivali, who had also joined the pilgrimage group, could help bring food for everyone by his great miraculous power.That's true,all gods and unseen creatures in the jungle gathered to pay respect to Sivali and brought a great deal of food for all .

Small Sivali bronze statues have been widely made carrying the meditation umbrella tent. Sivali charms have also been made by Buddhist guru monks using various materials, such as holy-powder plaster,ivory tusk, wood etc.

The below paragraph is Sivali mantra praying for good luck and fortune. Scale of success is based on your mind-power or will; the more concentrated, the more successful you are!!
"Sivali ja Mahathero Devatanarapuchito Soraho Pajjayatimhi Sivali ja Mahathero Yakkhadeva Puchito Soraho Pajjayatimhi Ahang Wanthami Tang Sathatassatherassa Aetang Khunang Sotthilabhang Bhavantumae."

Sangajayana

Sangajayana is worshiped by Thai people as a great fortune monk. His name emerged from a synthesis of Sang+Gajayana. Sang means conch while Gajayana was the name of an important disciple of Lord Buddha.
An old bronze Sangajayana with big round potbelly.
Buddhistic legend says Gajayana's physical body was so similar to Lord Buddha that many people frequently misidentified him as the Lord. Gajayana felt uncomfortable with that wrong identification. So he magically transfromed himself to be an ugly monk with a big potbelly, wishing to be looked different from the Lord.

An old wood-carving Sangajayana , Wat Bang Nam Won Temple.

He was applauded by people as a monk of humble consciousness with his high respect to the Lord. Then came the great fortune to Gajayana !! People gathered to make merit by offering him a great deal of food and many other needed things. Such the occurrence was called in Thai language "Mahalapa" or the unexpected great fortune.

In the early of Ratanakosin Period about 170-180 years ago, a piece of ancient bronze "Sang" and a bronze figure of "Gajayana" were found in a monastery in Bangkok.The monastery was later called "Sangajayana" after the two good omen objects were found.The monastery and its name still exists nowadays.

Though the name "Sangajayana" was emerged from the two specific words,the name has later been practically called to any of big-potbelly monk figures. In Thai belief the big potbelly implies a depot for the coming fortune.The gilded bronze Sangajayana seen on the left is the early Ratanakosin period art piece.

Old antique Sangajayanas were made varied in sizes, the large sizes of 5 to 9 inchs height for house altar were normally made from bronze.The smaller sizes were made from various materials as amulets for good fortune. Some guru monks carved them with ivory tusk.The votive-tablet forms were also made from holy-powder plaster, both white and black colors.

善加財佛
善加財佛的法像是胖胖的,且肚子大大的,讓人看起來非常的討喜對泰國人而言,佩帶善加財佛的佛牌,可以令自己是受人喜愛的。

從泰國大城皇朝時期以來,善加財佛的法像,在每間佛寺皆會供奉及督造。據說善加財佛在世時,長相端正,皮膚呈現如黃金般的色澤,而且貌似佛陀,因而使得很多天人,和一般凡人皆會因為看到他,而將祂視為與佛無別,對待他如同佛陀ㄧ樣,而且甚至有些天女會貪戀其樣貌,而久留不走。

因而使祂非常困擾,因此他便運用神通力,將自己變為現今眾所看到的樣貌,以免有天人和人將其誤以為佛陀。善加財天資聰穎,非常擅於講經說法,並且非常生動有趣,常常會因此吸引許多人在旁聆聽,而且祂常常會幫助信徒,讓信徒衣食無缺。之後不知隔了多久,善加財尊者仍常常被信徒看到祂雲遊各地講經說法,使得信徒對他的神異深信不已。泰國人之所以會供奉善加財佛,是因為他們希望自己和家人都可以如善加財佛ㄧ樣,身體健康、財源廣進,而且也希望自己如善加財佛ㄧ般,是具有魅力且身形端正莊嚴的人,並且也是希望自己如善加財佛ㄧ樣,能夠得到廣博的智慧,辯才無礙。

Phra Rarhu啦壺神簡介

天狗抱月之神,泰語稱為(啦壺~Lahu)


啦壺天神佛像外型全身黑色,頭戴華蓋,豹眼獠牙,身軀高大,口中咬著太陽或月亮,神情十分兇惡,使人望而生畏。

一般人也會奇怪,為何神像只有上半身~根據泰國民間記載並轉貼如下﹕

約於一萬年前,啦壺的父親「他屈神運」,是掌管地獄眾生的夜叉王。啦壺少年時很頑皮,性格好動。他不但武藝高強,還會凌空飛行,時常飛上天宮玩耍。

有一天,天宮舉行大法會,由天帝「拍意實運」主持,保護神「拍啦啦」擔當總護法,日神與月神及眾天神擔任守衛。這次大法會是集合眾天神的法力,製造威力強大的甘露聖水。

製造甘露聖水大功告成,眾神正在慶祝。啦壺喜愛熱鬧,好奇地潛入法會窺看,卻被日神和月神發覺,將他驅逐出外,態度十分橫蠻。啦壺不甘受辱,便與日月兩神打鬥起來。他有飛行之術,躍高竄低,非常迅速,轉眼間已失去了蹤跡。

啦壺亂打亂撞的闖進一個密室,飛翔了一會,感到口乾舌燥,拿起供案上的水壺,便喝得一滴不剩。水壺中的竟然是眾天神合力製成的聖水。啦壺喝後,功力大增,日月兩神趕到時,已不是他的對手。


日月兩神發覺啦壺偷喝了聖水,連忙稟報天帝。天帝大怒,召集諸天神圍攻啦壺。惟是啦壺喝了聖水之後,武功突然增強,眾神亦奈何他不得。後來總護法拍啦啦祭起了無堅不摧的鋸齒金輪,把啦壺橫腰斬斷。

啦壺喝了聖水,身體雖被斬斷,仍能生存不死,飛返家中。夜叉王得知情由,親自綁起愛子帶到天宮向天帝請罪。天帝看見啦壺的下身已被斬去,仍能不死,又愛他武藝高強,便赦免了他的罪行,還把他封為護法,從此改邪歸正。

由於啦壺的半截身體被斬去,所以佛像是沒有下身的。他被封為天神之後,嫉惡如仇,尤其是最憎恨小人。所以泰國人要剋制小人,便會配戴啦壺天神的佛像。

由於啦壺當日闖入天宮時被日月兩神驅趕,害得他被斬斷身體,所以他對日月兩神,仍是懷恨於心,發誓要將天地間所有小人,告密者一一消滅及和吞噬。佛像口咬太陽或月亮,也是這個緣故。泰國人還把日蝕和月蝕,當作是啦壺天神對日月兩神的懲罰。每逢日蝕或月蝕,泰國人認為這是向啦壺天神請求庇佑和許願的最好時機。

配戴啦壺天神的佛像,不但可以剋制小人,還可以把衰運轉為好運.

Rarhu is mentioned explicitly in a pair of scriptures from the Samyutta Nakaya of the Pali Canon. In the Candima Sutta and the Suriya Sutta, Rarhu attacks Canda, the moon deity and Suriya, the sun deity, before being compelled to release them by their recitation of a brief stanza conveying their reverence for the Buddha. The Buddha responds by enjoining Rarhu to release them, which Rarhu does rather than have his "head split into seven pieces". The verses recited by the two celestial deities and the Buddha have since been incorporated into Buddhist liturgy as protective verses (paritta) recited by monks as prayers of protection.


In Buddha Rarhu is one of the krodhadevatas (terror-inspiring gods)

Rarhu is the ascending lunar node. In Hindu mythology, Rarhu is a snake that swallows the sun or the moon causing eclipses. He is depicted in art as a dragon with no body riding a chariot drawn by eight black horses.

According to legend, during the Samudra manthan, the asura Rarhu drank some of the divine nectar. But before the nectar could pass his throat, Mohini (the female avatar of Vishnu) cut off his head. The head, however, remained immortal. It is believed that this immortal head occasionally swallows the sun or the moon, causing eclipes. Then, the sun or moon passes through the opening at the neck, ending the eclipse.

There is another lila of Shiva and Rarhu probably taken from Sivapuranam which is paraphrased by Joseph Campbell in his book. The Power of Myth Ganna Chakra also paraphrases the myth:

In the myth of the Daitya king Jalandhara, Jalandhara sends Rarhu with a message to Shiva, demanding that he surrender Parvati to Jalandhara. Shiva was angry at this message, and this anger took the form of a terrible creature which sprang from his brow. It had the face of a lion, flaming eyes, body which was dry and rough to the touch, long arms and a tongue which lolled with anger. The creature rushed at Rarhu, ready to devour him. Shiva apparently said something along the lines of "we don't shoot the messenger" whereon the gana pleaded to Shiva that it was tortured by hunger. Shiva told the gana that if it was so hungry, it should eat its own flesh. This the gana did, until only its head was left. Shiva, pleased with such devotion, appointed the gana as his door keeper, ordering that it create terror for all wicked people. Shiva also ordained that the gana be worshipped along with his worship, and gave it the name Kirtimukha.
In Thai legend, Rarhu appears as the younger brother of two men who are reincarnated as the sun and moon. Unhappy at being overshadowed, Rarhu is constantly striving to dim their brilliance by swalling them; and occasionally he is successful. In Thialand, devotees normally burn black joss sticks and present eight black offerings, including black-feathered chickens and coffee, to appease the dark angel in the run-up to the eclipse.
The legend of Rarhu (the eclipse): as it appears in the encyclopedia of Vedic history, the Srimad Bhagavata Maha-puranam: Canto VIII Chapters 5-9 (circa 3,000 BC).


First a brief background of this ancient history. Cast of characters: At the beginning of creation, Lord Vishnu, the eternal Supreme Being, entered his own unmanifested material nature (Prakrity); from his navels was born the first being, Brahma (the four-faced), who is the empowered material creator; from Brahma's third eye, in anger, appeared the great Lord Shiva (destroyer of the cosmos), along with the demigods (devas) and the demon (asuras).
At this time there was a great attempt by the demigods and demons to churn the ocean to milk (primordial soup) to obtain the nectar of immortality. Lord Vishnu incarnated himself as Kurma-avatar (center of the Universe); and the celestial serpent, Vasuki, was to be the churning rope. The demigods, being humble by nature, took hold of the tail of Vasuka, while the demons, who are alway proud, took the fiery head; and thus the churning began.


During the churning provess many wonderful things were produced, until finally the "amrita" or immortal nectar appeared. Immediately there was a fierce struggle and the demons forcefully took possession of the nectar. At that time, to help the demigods, Lord Vishnu, expanded himself into Mohini_murti, the most enchanting of all beautiful goddesses. The demons, who were completely love-struck, allowed the Goddess to have the nectar, which she began to distribute among the demigods.
Astrological Influences: Rarhu is by nature a malevolent planetary influence which can cause personal frustration, sacrileges habits, abuse of alcohol and drugs, possession of ghosts and demons, and infectious diseases. However, when located in a powerful spot in one's horoscope. Rarhu can elevate one to positions of great wealth and power and confer public influence over the masses. Rarhu is associated with serpents, fear, karmic, retribution, and un-virtuous characters.


Person with Rarhu exalted are wealthy and fortunate. But those who have a weak or afflicted Rarhu in their horoscope have a tendency to suffer from fear of supernatural phenomena and suicidal impulses. ULTRA-VIOLET is the cosmic color transmitted by Rarhu through hessonite and other orange gems. Ultra-violet colorwaves are the coldest of all the cosmic rays and should only be used for ailments caused by extreme over heating, i.e., high fever, hyper-acidity, indigestion, hyper-sexualty, insomnia, and during child birth. Rarhu astral talismans may also help divert disasters, prevent insanity, counteract poisons, and protect one from demoniac of lower status, such as servants, employees, and underworld characters.

PHRA NGANG

Decorative Buddha images, Ayuthaya period.

Once-called Phra Ngang but now called "Phra Chai" Buddha images.They are evolutional form of the decorative Buddha images, stressing on structure more than extravagant details.


Phra Ngang is a vocab for calling a specific statuette of about 3-4 inches high. It refers to the Ayuthayan statuette that has no robe, sitting on a triangle base. Such the statuette was so called for many decades just because the former-generation people misunderstood that it's not represented Lord Buddha. So, they put Phra Ngang in the trouser's pocket. But it is now clear that they are misunderstood by the characteristics of the statuette. Present-day collectors now call the statuette "Phra Chai" which means Buddha image of Victory.

Phra Ngang is the evolutional form of a decorative Buddha image which depicts the Lord subduing Phya Chompoo(Mara) who was arogant for his great wealth. Once Phya Chompoo met the Lord , he arrogantly paid no respect to him. He thought that no one could compare to him on the wealth. Lord Buddha, a former wealthy prince, used his miraculous power create a mountain of treasures much more than Phya Chompoo' s and transform his body to be the greatest emperor, fully decorated with precious jewels.

Phya Chompoo was so frightend with the Lord's great power and yielded to him. The Lord taught him that being an emperor did not mean far more better than others because that one still face with sufferings and the death, and that a best human being is one who could destroy all evils in his mind and attain Nipphan(Niravan)-no rebirth again. By the Lord's teaching, Phya Chom poo enlightened the truth and requested for an ordination from the Lord, and the Lord gave him a benevolence.

We have found many Ayuthaya period's decorative Buddha images. All of them were created based on the mentioned legend with two characteristics, sitting and standing. The specific name of this Buddha image is "Subduing-Phya-Chompoo Buddha Image". The sitting type has far more evolution. The decorative Buddha image has developed to a plain statuette stressing on its structure more than extravagant details.

Even though, so many people still misunderstands about its characteristics and origin. The naive monks and lay persons commercially produce weird statuettes with red eyes and curved top-stem. They are still called Phra Ngang. All these are imaginary items and not accepted by Thai veteran collectors. And a lot of them are exported!! Do you have one of those items ??

亞贊豐(Achan Fon)

Achan Fon是六十多年前的一位白衣师傅。泰国人到讲他是那时的一流武林高手。Achan Fon2426年出生在Ayutaya。他小时候常常生病,还得了鼻炎过后鼻子就没有掉。10岁时他父母送他去读书,当时读书是要去庙读的。Achan Fon跟其他人不同他读书读了很久读了很多年读到最后只会写自己的名字罢了,所以考试不及格。当时那庙的主持是Luang Phor Krot是当时很出名的一位黄衣师傅,Luang Phor Krot看见Achan Fon没有鼻子很丑常常被认作弄就很同情他。过后Luang Phor Krot就跟Achan Fon讲这样下去不是办法,就讲要教他Metta(人缘)的经文叫他学学看。因为Achan Fon不认识字Luang Phor Krot就念给他听,很奇怪的是Achan Fon只听了两三篇就把那经文记得清清楚楚了。
学会后Achan Fon就去找那些讨厌他的试试看,他念了那经文后就去跟那些人打招呼很奇怪的那些了看见Achan Fon, Achan Fon还来不及开口那些人就叫她跟他很好了。Achan Fon心想原来这世上还有这样的功夫。过后他就回去庙想再跟Luang Phor Krot学经文,可是Luang Phor Krot已不在人世了。Achan Fon很失望就进去Luang Phor Krot的房间找,他在Luang Phor Krot的房间找到几本经书。因为它不会认识字他就去找他朋友叫他朋友帮忙念给他听,他就把那些经文全部记住。 过后在他二十多岁时他就出家当和尚,过后他就到森林里去修行。他在森林里发现了一建庙那间庙是Wat KaiFa里面只有一位师傅就是Luang Phor Dee。他就跟Luang Phor Dee求要住在庙里,Luang Phor Dee很可怜他就给他住。
Achan Fon就很勤劳帮忙打扫庙,过后有一晚Achan FonLuang Phor Dee的房间找Luang Phor Dee。可是Luang Phor Dee不在过后Achan Fon看见Luang Phor Dee在竹林的其中一个竹筒里走出来好像什么事都没有发生一样坐下来跟Achan Fon聊天。Achan Fon心里知道Luang Phor Dee是一位很不简单的师傅,很想拜Luang Phor Dee为师可是还没有机会。他就决定在庙里住多一阵子,有一晚他听见森林里有女生的哭声他就去看看。Achan Fon看见有一位穿古代衣服的女生,那女生就跟Achan Fon讲她是一棵树。是TonDartKian千年老树里的树神,所以泰国人很崇拜TonDartKian。那女神就求Achan Fon帮她,Achan Fon问她要帮什么?那女神讲迟些你就会知道。那女神还讲你帮我后我会报答你的,过后Achan Fon就不明不白的回到庙里去了。第二天早上Achan Fon听到有很多人的脚步声就出去看看,原来那些人要砍掉一棵老树,Achan Fon就明白为什么女神要向他求救。Achan Fon就劝那些人不要砍,那些人不听他的话反而要打他,Achan Fon就到一边念起Metta的经文,念完经后再去劝那些人很奇怪的那些人全部答应Achan Fon不在砍那棵树了。
过了几天后那女神就去找Achan Fon,其实Achan Fon已把砍树的事忘了。那女神就讲要拿一本经书来报答Achan Fon,那女神就跟Achan Fon讲叫Achan Fon到某某地方找那本经书。过后Achan Fon真的找到那本经书,拿到经书后Achan Fon不会看又再去找他朋友帮忙念给他听。他朋友跟他讲这本经书里的经文全部都是怪怪的,有被刀割伤止血的经文,把树叶变成蜜蜂的经文,被毒蛇咬到的经文等等。Achan Fon把全部经文都记起来,过后他就拿那经文来试试看,他就拿刀在他手掌心割一刀,他的手就马上留出很多血。他就开始念起止血的经文过后不到一分钟他的手真的止血连伤口也没有掉。Achan Fon是一位爱出风头的人,他知道自己的功夫跟其他师傅不一样每一样工夫都可以做表演,他就叫很多人来看他表演。
过后他就到Bangkok的Wat Sakiat住,现在泰国僧王(Somdej Kiao)的庙。他在那庙还是一样的做表演,那边的师傅就跟他讲出家人不可以这样。他知道自己还是爱出风头就还俗变白以师傅。那时他才二三十岁,过后他就到处走,一路上如果有人作弄他而又是美女他就用经文把那女子弄过来睡后就放人。如果他看见心意的女子他也是用经文把那女子弄过来睡后就作他老婆。所以他有很多老婆和有很多孩子。很多泰国人讲Achan Fon的功夫比Khun Paen还要厉害,因为Khun Paen要得到女生他要拿东西来念经后给那女子吃才能得到那女子。Achan Fon只是有经文就可以把女生弄到手,人缘比Khun Paen根厉害,所以很多人都讲她的功夫比Khun Paen好料。 Achan Fon比其他师傅古怪,凡是谁要拜他为师都要先拿自己的手给毒蛇咬然后让Achan Fon医。在2480年的时候Achan Fon就跟他的徒弟和信徒讲三年后会有战争,大家都不明白Achan Fon在讲什么。在2483年战争真的发生了也就是大家都懂的 IndoChina War 。当时泰国政府请了很多厉害的黄衣师傅来做佛牌,Tangkai,布符等等。其中比较出名的黄衣师傅有Luang Phor Ophrasi, Luang Phor Chong Wat NaTangNok等等。而请来的白衣师傅就只有Achan Fon一人而已。由于Achan Fon不认识字不会写经文,他就拿日本长刀插进自己的嘴巴让血滴在白布上一遍滴一边念经,滴完后多余的血就用杯装起来再喷到白布上。Achan Fon的布符一个经文都没有,然后Achan Fon将喷有血的布弄成很多块小布分给兵用,有拿到他的血布符的兵多少个出去打战多能全部平安回来。Achan Fon是在7月15日2489年去世的享年63岁。
