Luang Phor Niam  - Wat Noi, Suphanburi

DIRECT DISCIPLE OF SOMDEJ BUDDHACHAN TOH


 

            

Luang Phor Niam, was a well known and highly respected monk from Wat Noi in Suphanburi province. Wat Noi is an ancient temple, established several hundred years ago but deserted in B.E.2310 after the Burmese army had invaded the Thai Kingdom.

Luang Phor Niam who was invited to become abbot of the temple spent years renovating the structure until such time it was one of the most beautiful in the province.Nowadays the temple is located on the east side of the Supan River in Kokkram Sub-district, Bangplamar, Supanburi Province.

Luang Phor Niam was born in around B.E.2372-B.E.2373, during the reign of King Rama III, in Ban Parperk Village, Bangplamar, Supanburi Province.(Note: King Rama III reigned the Kingdom during B.E.2367-B.E.2394.) 

Although his background is not entirely clear it is believed that Luang Phor Niam was ordained at Wat Rakhang in B.E.2393 and had learned sacred sciences from the most famous of all monks, Somdej Prabuddhacharn Toh.

As abbot of Wat Noi, he sent many of his disciples to be educated at Wat Rakhang, many of whom are now highly respected themselves, such as, Luang Phor Parn of Wat Bangnomko, Ayudhaya Province, Luang Phor Nong of Wat Klongmadan, Supanburi Province, and Luang Phor Sorn of Wat Palaylai, Supanburi Province.

 

Luang Phor Niam had remained in Bangkok for approximately 20 years, returning to Supanburi Province in B.E.2413, when at the age of 40 he dwelt at Wat Rocharern later being invited to become abbot of Wat Noi in B.E.2413-2414.

Luang Phor Niam worked hard apart to renovate much of the temple and construct new buildings. Whilst not working on the temple his free time was devoted to the locals, and was well known for his medicinal skills using Thai herbs

At the, aged of 81, Luang Phor Niam passed away peacefully in the unique aspect of a laying Buddha Image. His corpse was burnt on April 13-14, B.E.2454, five months after his death.

Worshippers congregated at the temple attempting to collect ashes in the belief that they would protect against danger, black magic and evil.

Amulets

Most of Luang Phor Nium's amulets were made of lead mixed with mercury, although some were made of baked soil. Needless to say all are rare and very expensive. Having said that it is still possible to pick up bargains. We frequently see various pims on the market at less than 500 USD, and these amulets are more than highly recommended.

Buddha-Image amulets

Luang Phor Niam began to create his Buddha-Image amulets in B.E.2442, when he was 53 years old and had just returned from the deep forests in some northern provinces.
