Luang Pu Nak (Lp Nak) Wat Rakang Kositaram

Luang Pu Nak (Lp Nak) Wat Rakang Kositaram

BE2427 - BE2514

龙婆纳於佛历2427年的8月1日生於泰国的Nakhon Ratchasima府，父名Pom Marurngsit，母名Suan Marurngsit。很小的时候进入Nakhon Ratchasima的Wat Bung佛寺成为小沙弥，到了佛历2448年21岁的时候，正式在曼谷的Wat Rakhang成为僧侣。

    其中最大的贡献莫过於龙婆纳花了多年的时间去蒐集并收藏古代圣僧制作佛牌的碎料以及很多已经被遗忘的神奇圣料，这件看似简单的事情，对於未来佛教的发展有着很重要的意义。当时泰国的大众对佛教的圣物有着很大的误区，他们认为如果圣物损坏了就不在适合放在家里面供奉，所以很多古代的佛牌、铜钵、神龛等圣物慢慢地被善信退回到了寺庙里面。看到那些有了瑕疵的圣物被纷纷退还到了寺里，龙婆纳十分的悲伤，出於对佛祖的尊敬以及古代圣僧的敬意，他将这些被人们抛弃的圣物整理、并收藏在了自己的禅房内。龙婆纳不希望这些珍贵的圣料再一次被破坏，哪怕是轻微的损坏也不愿意再看到，因此他决定善用这些原料去制作新的佛牌。

    凭藉自己对佛牌的认识，龙婆纳相信这些老一辈高僧做的佛牌具有强大的法力与正能量，就算损坏法力也会依然存在，所有这些圣料都是被诸多伟大的僧侣们加持祝福过的，其本质上就是佛教的无价之宝。对於现在的佛教界以及佛牌收藏界而言这个问题相信已经是深信不疑了，大家都已清楚的知道龙婆纳的观点是正确的，他的远见令人钦佩。

    而作为崇迪始祖阿赞多大师法脉的门徒，龙婆纳也会将阿赞多崇迪制作的方法用在这些准备新制作的佛牌中去。曾经有人怀疑过龙婆纳并非阿赞多大师的门徒，因为当阿赞多大师圆寂的时候，实际上龙婆纳还没有出生，不过这也是个错误的理解，因为阿赞多的法脉是通过很多方式传承的，加持崇迪佛牌的方法被阿赞多大师通过文本、经书、草稿、典籍等诸多方式一代一代地传给了後来的僧人们。龙婆纳就是从这些典籍记载中学到的阿赞多高僧的佛牌加持知识与其内在的精神，并且龙婆纳还从珍贵的阿赞多法术书籍中有所学习和收获，这正是作为阿赞多师父传承者、接班人最好的证明。

    在佛历2485年至佛历2495年间，龙婆纳制作的佛牌受到了善信的广泛认同，追捧度已经到了登峰造极的境界，不但泰国本土是这样，基本世界范围内的佛牌圈子里也都是这样，市值可以说是一路暴涨，直到现在仍在继续，这一切的一切是与龙婆纳利用古代圣料制作、以阿赞多崇迪制作心法加持的佛牌的神蹟离不开的，很多人都见证了龙婆纳崇迪的神奇挡险及致富神蹟，後来不少善信都会拿龙婆纳的崇迪与始祖阿赞多的崇迪的功效相比较了，这也表示了龙婆纳崇迪在世人心目中的位置，这段光辉的历史也被深深地记录在了泰国的历史当中。後来龙婆纳的名气越来越大，佛牌也是每次都会在公开恭请後被善信恭请一空，不少藏家都是强烈建议见到龙婆纳的佛牌就要好好地收藏起来，这些佛牌才是真正的财宝，也是未来能给你们带来更多财富的圣物。有此评价龙婆纳的佛牌无法不火，到了现在很多泰国本土牌商为了满足市场的需要，还会大量的制作龙婆纳佛牌的仿品，没有一定的监赏知识是很容易被骗的。

    龙婆纳高僧於佛历2514年的1月15日在泰国曼谷的Sirirach医院圆寂，享年87岁，结束了自己光辉的66年僧侣生涯。在僧侣生涯中，龙婆纳制作了不少佛牌，其中有很多版本的崇迪佛牌，部分是仿照恩师阿赞多的崇迪牌模，自己经典的崇迪中有不少是锺形背景的，这也算是龙婆纳崇迪的一个特色，这些崇迪中很多含有崇迪阿赞多亲制佛牌的碎料，这也是市值与实效的一大保证，此外龙婆纳还做过自身像、必打等非流行的佛牌种类，不过跟其招牌的崇迪相比，追捧度就差很多了。

Luang Phor Nak was born on August 1st, B.E.2427, to the family of Mr.Pom Marurngsit and Mrs.Suan Marurngsit, locals of Nakonrachsima Province. He was ordained a novice when he was a young teenager at Wat Bung, Nakonrachsima Province. In B.E.2448, he was officially ordained a Buddhist monk at Wat Rakhang Kositaram, Bangkok, aged 21 Since then Luang Phor Nak has dedicated his life to serve the temple and all Buddhists. One important deed that is often associated with Luang Phor Nak whilst at 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, water bowls etc should not be kept at home, for the fear of bringing bad luck. These objects would often be returned to the temple.Luang Phor Nak did not like to see these kinds of scared objects mixed with the general trash, and as such he used to collect and preserve in his monks house. 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 Buddhacharn Toh, it is no surprise that his newly created amulets followed the procedures exactly as laid down by this great monk. Incidentally some people have said that Luang Phor Nak was not a disciple of Phra Buddhacharn Toh, as he was not even born when the great monk had died. This is simply not an accurate assessment. Knowledge is passed from generation to generation and LP Nak studied ancient texts and manuscripts, in particular LP Toh’s magic book, and as such is known as a true disciple. Particularly famous and very popular are his amulets created during the period BE 2485- BE2495. Prices have increased sharply in recent years, and will continue to do so. These amulets are not only popular in Thailand, but worldwide, many people having experienced the sacred power and protection that these amulets afford. Many people have made a comparison between these amulets and the original Phra Somdej Bangkhunprom amulets, some of the most sacred in Thai history. Such is the popularity; these amulets are fast disappearing from the markets. Just a word of caution; As a result of increased popularity and high demand, many fakes are flooding the market.

LP Nak Somdej's properties are broadly covering as of the famous Somdej Toh's SWR: life protection, Metta, life & career progress, and fortune drawing, etc.

LP Nak is one of the greatest Gurus of the country since World War II, contemporarily with many great LPs viz LP Jaad Wat Bangkrabao, LP Chong Wat Natang Nok, LP Kong Wat Bangkraphom, LP (Y)ie Wat Sattaheep, LP Lua Wat SaoChaNgok, etc.

LP Nak attained highest Dhamma; as widely said in among advanced Dhamma-practice monks that when he was blessing amulets, his meditative power was emitting very large bright, cold beam covering all amulets before him--implying great properties for his amulets on Metta and Klaew Klaad.

On January 15th, B.E.2514, Luang Phor Nak passed away at Sirirach Hospital, Bangkok, aged 87, and having served Buddhism for 66 years.
