This is because many of them had experienced at least one miracle event when they keep a Luang Poo Thim’s amulet near them.

Even after Luang Poo had died, the people still be respected him a lot.

When he was alived, a local village man asked him this “Luang Poo, if one day you are not around anymore, which monk we should we pay our respect to?”

Luang Poo Thim pointed to a young monk and said “That’s Sakorn. He learned a lot from my magic…….”

Sakorn who Luang Poo said is “Luang Phor Sakorn from Wat Nong Grap” his favorite student who manages to learn all of his magic.

Luang Phor Sakorn is a favorite Geji in Eastern part of the country. He has a lot of people who respect him partially because he is a monk who has good behavior, kind and he made a lot of good magic amulets.

When Luang Phor Sakorn was young, he started to learn magic and traditional medicine, with that knowledge he managed to help a lot of his friends in the early days. He never used them for any bad purpose.

Luang Phor Sakorn was ordained in Wat Nong Grap but he stayed at Wat Laharn Rai to learn the Visha (magic knowledge) from Luang Poo Thim. After he learned all the Visha from Luang Poo, he proceeded to learn from LP Pheng Sasno, Wat Laharn Yai.

LP Pheng was once a soldier under the command of Somdej Tia Gromma Luang Chumporn Khet Udom Sak. He also learned from Luang Poo Suk, Wat Pak Klong Makham Thao who had the knowledge about unbeatable and KlaewKlaad. He ever tried to prove by writing only one letter on a lead sheet and use a gun to shoot at it. The bullet could not shoot out from the gun.

After that Luang Phor Sakorn was instructed by Luang Poo Thim to learn more from Luang Poo Hin Wat Nong Sanom, Luang Phor Pab Wat Krabok Khuen Phueng and Luang Poo Som Wat Baan Chong.

Because he is deligent to learn more, many Geji Ajarn taught him the best of their own knowledge such as:

Luang Phor Sakorn is specially gifted in sculptural arts, moulding and wall mural drawing on his temple’s wall including lacquer the gold pad. He has so far rebuild the main bot, kuti and many other facilities in Wat Nong Krap.

Luang Phor Sakorn has so far been taught by many teachers and he has altogether been studying from varies Ajahh for more than 30 years.

The author had found out that there are still some old stocks of Palatkit Mai Payung. It was made in 2537BE. It was chanted from 4 Kwam Chue (Visha Book) namely from Luang Poo Thim, Luang Poo Tai (Wat krabok Kuen Pueng), Ta Kan and Luang Phor EE (Wat Sataheep). He had chanted for 3 years for this batch.

After that he brought it to the castle at Panomrung Mountain on Friday 4th April B.E. 2546. It was believe that on that day a great sign of miracle was witness, the sun thoroughly shined onto 15 doors of the castle. The Brahmen believed that this is good omen sign and a miracle for such event to occur.

Luang Phor Sakorn used Klapangha wood, Theptaro wood and Payung wood to make this batch of PalatKit. Now there is only PalatKit Mai Payung. He made the most numbers from this type of wood. This PalatKit is effective for metta, trading, favorite, safe from danger, unbeatable, safe from creature, safe from evil both from land and water.

Khata for this PalatKit
3 times “Namo Tassa Phakhawato…………” and
9 times “ Kanta Neha Tu Sa Ma Ni”

The lastest amulet (in 2547) by Luang Phor Sakorn was “Takrud Fon Saen Ha Satharn Fa Thoranee Whai” and “Takrud Maha RaNgap” He made them faithfully from Luang Poo Thim’s textbook.

Takrud Maha RaNgap size is 5.5” x 0.8” and Luang Phor Sakorn personally engraved all the yant and number by himself. He would engrave on the good day only. After he had completed engraving the yant and finished folding the takrud, Luang Phor would cover the takrud with 7 kinds of leaves namely;
1. Bai RaNgap
2. Bai Samee
3. Bai Khae Khaw
4. Bai Chumhetyai
5. Bai Krathuep Yod
6. Ya Tai Bai
7. Bai Krachet

He brought these leaves to crush together with RAK. After that he would let them to dry. After that it would be braided and took them to “Rak Water” to cover with gold leaf and chanting.

If you think that bad luck has befallen onto you, just take this takrud and dropped into some water and pray “Namo Tassa……” 3 times then chant “Iti Paramitatingsa Iti Sappanyumakhata Sappasattroo Vinassanti Nalaluay Molalai Phutsuem Klai Thasoonhai Paibutnee Yamidai Klapma Thunk Khang Anitjang Anatta”

Then take this blessed water to wash your face, drink, sprinkle your body or take a bath.

This is the Kuti Luang Phor Sakorn was building .. it is not finished yet. Luang Phor is planning to install this building to be the first yant museum in thailand.
