Luang Phor Ruay (Lp Ruay) Wat Tako

 Luang Phor Ruay of Wat Tako was renowned for his profound knowledge of sacred sciences and his ability to heal both the minds and bodies of villagers. His reputation as a compassionate and skilled monk was widely respected.

Inheritance of Magical Knowledge

Luang Phor Ruay inherited his magical expertise from Luang Phor Chuen of Wat Phachee, who was his preceptor during ordination. Luang Phor Chuen himself had been a disciple of Luang Phor Klun of Wat Prayat, a renowned monk whose fame endures to this day.

Luang Phor Klun, in turn, inherited his knowledge from Luang Phor Jam of Wat Wungdaengnue, a master known for his exceptional magical prowess, particularly in Metta Maha Niyom (loving-kindness and charm) and Klaew Klaad (invulnerability). This lineage of great masters elevated Luang Phor Ruay to a distinguished position as a master monk capable of performing powerful rituals, writing Yant (sacred inscriptions), conducting ceremonies, and practicing traditional medicine.

Even Luang Phor Koon of Wat Ban Rai, one of Thailand's most revered monks, praised Luang Phor Ruay’s deep moral integrity and spiritual discipline. The two monks shared a close bond, having undertaken pilgrimages together and trained under the same masters.

The name "Ruay," which translates to "wealth" or "prosperity," further added to the allure of his amulets. This auspicious name, combined with his spiritual power, made his amulets highly sought after for their virtues, particularly for enhancing charm and success in business and trade.
