In B.E.2479, Luang Phor Nam Thita Punyo, the Abbot of Wat Hoi Rak became seriously ill and was uable to continue his duties at the temple. |
Luang Phor Jearm was invited to take up the vacant position as Abbot.
Sacred Sciences
Luang Phor Jearm learnt the sacred sciences to create amulets from several individuals
1. Mr.Poo Kaew Chuay, his father, who learnt magic and sacred sciences from Phra Kru Panungsilvisutipukdi, former abbot of Wat Sala Kaew (famous during the reign of King Rama V and VI).
2. Luang Phor Nam Kesaro, who specialized in many sacred sciences, including ancient herbal medicine and astrology.
3. Luang Phor Nam Thita Punyo, former abbot of Wat Hoi Rak, who was specialized in many sacred sciences, including ancient herbal and astrological sciences.
Initially Luang Phor Jearm did not create any amulets as he preferred teaching Dhamma .
After repeated requests from devotees and disciples he began the process to create a batch of sacred amulets, He started by collecting the sacred materials required, a process which took almost 8 years to complete, with the first batch pressed into mould in the year BE 2499.
It may be hard to appreciate why it takes 7 years to create an amulet, especially when compared to modern day amulets. The following list of auspicious components may give you some idea of the reason why and also the difference between amulets created then and now.
