Long Pu Nak was born on 1st August B.E.2427, family of Mr.Pom Marurngsit and Mrs.Suan Marurngsit, locals of Nakonratchsima Province.
He was ordained a novice when he was in his younger days at Wat Bung, Nakonratchsima Province. In B.E.2448, he officially ordained a Buddhist monk at Wat Rakhang, Bangkok at the age of 21.
Long Pu Nak has dedicated his life to serve the temple and all Buddhists.
One important deed that is often associated with Long Pu Nak whilst in the temple, was that he used to collect all the discarded sacred objects.
This simple action was to become increasingly more important as the years went by.
The general Thai belief at that time was any sacred objects that had become damaged, such as shrines, amulets, bowls etc should not be kept at home, for the fear of bringing bad luck. These objects would often be return to the temple.
Long Pu Nak did not like to see these kinds of scared objects mixed with the general trashes and as such he used to collect and preserve in his monks rest quarter.
He also did not want to see sacred amulets that had been damaged, destroyed needlessly. He decided to recycle this raw material to create new amulets.
It was his belief that every single atom of the old amulets had been infused with sacred power, broken or not. Essentially these materials having already been blessed by some of the greatest living monks were priceless.
Obviously we know today, that he was right, and are grateful for his foresight. As the disciple of Somdej Phra Ajarn Toh, it is no surprise that his newly created amulets followed the procedures exactly as laid down by this great monk.
Knowledge is passed from generation to generation and LP Nak studied ancient texts and manuscripts, in particular LP Toh’s magic book.
Particularly famous and very popular are his amulets created during the period BE 2485- BE2495. Many of his made values have increased sharply recent years. These amulets are popular worldwide, many people having experienced the sacred power and protection.
Such is the popularity; these amulets are fast disappearing from the markets.These amulets can be considered real treasure.
As a result of the increased popularity and high demand, many fakes are flooding the market. Be sure to only purchase from recognized dealers.
On 15th January B.E.2514, Long Pu Nak passed away at Sirirach Hospital, Bangkok, aged 87, serving Buddhism for 66 years.
