Hlwong Por Phaan was reknowned for his specialization in the subject of Buddha Magic and buddhist medicinal healing methods. He was also famous for finding the Mantra in the Budhist year 2458 whilst making a pilgrimage to Suphanburi province. Famous for his discovery of the Sacred ] Diamond Armour Yant - "Yant Grao Paetch"! Without Yant Grao Paetch it would be impossible for many other Yant to exist, due to the fact that many other Yant contain the same Kata (Mantra) construction within their structure.
Hlwong Por Phaan found this great Mantra as he was meditating and a Yaan (or Yana in Pali Panskrit), meaning supernatural sense,occured in his meditation.It told him that there was a special magical tray hidden within the main Chedi of Wat Phra Sri Ratana Maha Taath, Suphanburi province, waiting for him to discover. Not long after that he reached the Chedi and found a ancient silver tray engraved with the Kata of Yant Graopaetch. The tray had a message explaining that the person who found it shall be a great Master, and that Heaven had defined who should find it. The plate also describes that one who recites this Mantra everyday shall have his body covered with Diamond armour and will be sprotected from all dangers, he shall never be destroyed by his enemies. In addition, the enemy will be destroyed through a strange phenomenon because of the reflective result from the magic Diamond Armour !
In any year that had the auspicious Sao Ha day (Saturday, the fifth day of the waxing moon period, lunar month), Luang Phor Parn would perform a very special Ceremony, consecrating and embedding Yant Graopaetch into his thousands disciples gathering in Wat Bang Nom Kho temple. Luang Phor Parn would write the Mantra on a blackboard and tell everybody to choose one letter of the script NA-MO-PUT-TAA-YA (five Buddhas' names). Then he would stand behind the blackboard and recite a Mantra to push the script flashing on all disciples. If a recipient really had a good meditative skills, a letter he chose will embed on his skull for life long. Amazingly, it always occurs when a recipient died and was brought to cremate, the script clearly appears on the forehead skull remnant. Kata Yant Graopaetch requires daily recitation. If this is performed, you will be well-protected; all dangers even deadly ones will never be able to harm you. The Current Abbot (and Ubachaya - meaning that he is empowered to ordain others into monkdom) of the Temple is called Phra Kroo Suwatjirayaaporn, or Hlwong Por Yong for short.I was lucky enough to recieve the opportunity to visit him in his Guthi (Guthi is the name for the room/hut where a monk resides), as Mr. Geoffrey and friend from Vietnam comissioned me as their guide and translator.
Hlwong Por Yong is an extremely good hearted monk, known for his compassion and expertise in the subject of Vipassana Meditation.As i visited his Guthi i was impressed and pleased to see that he had no mod-cons and lives simply - his presence radiates a sense of peace and "Maettha" (Compassion) to other beings. We recieved blessings from him and i spoke to him about my future Ordination as a Buddhist monk asking if ihe would consider giving me the honour to go and study Gammatan vipassana khom sanskrit and Buddha Magic under his supervision. I can't reveal all that was discussed but i shall update you all to any developments as time passes.
It is almost impossible for a westerner to be ordained directly in a Temple that is 100% Thai..normally the only way is to be ordained at a Westerner founded Temple where only westerners are practising, and move to a Thai Temple after some years. I have petitioned many monks at many Temples already, to no avail..refusal is the norm. Hlwong Por Yong was very receptive and seemed to think that a foreign buddhist trained in 7 languages, able to speak thai and having basic Pali sanskrit skills plus knowledge of Buddhist Magic might have something positive to offer for the spreading of Thai Buddhist Faith. I also think that if i can learn to behave as a Monk should behave and practise the methods required, then my human abilities with languages may be put to a positive cause (spreading the dharma). This warmed my heart extremely, after being refused at so many Temples, and caused a deep faith, respect and spiritual devotion for this extremely humble, powerful and compassionate Master Gaeji Ajarn.
龙婆班大师
在佛历2418年，泰国呀唷挞也府，有一位男婴出生，他的左手尾指生有红色胎印，所以男婴父母为他起名为班(班即为胎印的意思)，而这名称班的婴孩，便是我们所认识的龙婆班大师。
大师小时，跟父母到田耕种，及到佛寺由僧侣教导知识，大师求知欲十分强及很聪明，经常都主动发问，而且对佛学更是特别有兴趣，同样大师亦会向僧侣问及关于佛学问题，很多时问及的佛学问题，一般僧侣也不懂如何解答。
时间就在大师不断学习中过去，转眼经已佛历2438年，大师便是这年五月份，在屈班龙和佛寺，正式出家为僧，为大师主持出家仪式是屈班甩么佛寺的龙泡船大师，其后大师不断钻研佛学，更跟随龙泡船大师，学习了多种不同的佛法法门，还学习到医术方面的知识。大师跟随龙泡船大师学习完毕后，继续不停钻研，其间很多善信求教及治病，部份善信更要求拜大师为师，僧侣便要求大师成为佛寺住持，但大师并没有接受任何要求，大师只说自己道行还未够，还要继续求法学习。
其后大师果真不断到处求法，到过多位高僧处学习，其中如屈找七佛寺的龙泡前大师、屈铁官所跟佛寺的龙泡登大师、屈萨既佛寺的亚赞钻大师、屈内佛寺的龙婆林大师、屈矿乜登佛寺的龙婆龙大师、屈七朗佛寺的龙婆车大师等等。
大师经过不断学习、求法、修行，其佛法经已十分高深，如利用法力为骨折病人接骨、驱邪、解降、医治各种疾病、成就多种不同佛法法门，但大师还经常将求法、学习挂在口边，就大师这种德行及精进，是很值得我们学习。
往后大师还是在不断学习，及于屈班龙和佛寺为善信们作法事、治病、教导佛法，来请大师求教的善信非常之多，而且很多僧人都来向大师求法，拜大师门下。大师就是这样一直教导善信及弟子，普渡众生，还一边自已不断学那钻研，希望能成就更多法门，能够帮助更多众生。
日子渐渐过去，很快已是佛历2479年，在这年的一天，大师如常用过早饭后，便回房休息，一会儿，突然从房中出来，向多位在等代大师教法的弟子，声称自己要离开了，说后便回去房间，众弟子也不知大师为何突然出来会这样说一句话便回房去，只好在等代大师教导时间，但当时间过了很久大师还没有出来，便到大师房间查看，原来大师真的离开了，大师经已圆寂离开人世。
而现今的善信之所以，这样尊敬大师，奉大师为九大高僧，因为其一生对佛法的精进，及对善信的慈悲外，大师所制的佛牌，也是其中原因，大师所制的佛牌也可说是崇笛佛牌一种，但最特别的是在佛牌上会加上不同的几种动物神兽，佛牌一般称为"拍龙婆班(加上佛牌上的神兽在后)"佛牌，而且大师的佛牌也是神迹多多，佛牌收藏家也对大师的佛牌大感兴趣，所以大师的佛牌价值也是较高，一般在几千港币至三万港币也曾见过。
