„Rian Nawaporn Luang Pho Koon Parisuttho Wat Banrai Tambon Kut Piman Amphoer Dan Khun Thod Changwat Nakhon Ratchasima 30-4-2537“.

The amulet protects its wearer against disasters, misfortune, illness, and accidents. Moreover, it gives to its owner luck in the private and in the professional area as well as in financial and business matters.

Luang Pho Koon was born on Thursday 4th of October 2466 (1923) as first child of Mrs Thongkao and Mr Bun Chatphongrang at Tambon Kut Phiman, Amphoe Dan Khun Thot, Changwat Nakhon Ratchasima, northeast-Thailand.

His parents were working as paddy farmers. His grandfather, Da Lood, has been well-known in Dan Khun Thot because of his invulnerability and his spiritual forces. Furthermore he had a rich faculty of the old indian language called „Pali“ as well as of the cambodian language. Luang Pho Koon has two younger sisters. His mother died a few years after the birth of his second sister.

At the age of 7 years the grandfather of Luang Pho Koon, whose complete monkname reads as follows: Luang Pho Koon Parisuttho, took him to Luang Pho Cheum, Luang Pho Chai und Luang Pho Lee. They teached him Thai and Pali. At the age of 9 years, when Luang Pho Koon was on his way home from the temple, he saw a man, who was possessed by a demon. He took a wooden bludgeon and talked insistently to the demon. Then he coshed the man with the wooden bludgeon. The man collapsed, then he stood up and didn`t know what had happened.

This was the first demonexpulsion Luang Pho Koon did, at the age of 9 years!

In the 5/5/2486 (1943), at the age of 20 years, Luang Pho Koon ordained in the Wat Thanon Hak Yai, Kut Phiman, Dan Khun Thot, Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat).  His official monkname reads as follows: Phra Thep Vitthayakom. His Mentor was the venerable Luang Pho Wijahn Dtigit, abbot of the monastery. During the next 5 years Luang Pho Kong (Phra Tudong), Luang Pho Daeng und Luang Pho Suk belonged to his most important teachers. Thereafter Luang Pho Koon went on a retreat in the deepest woods of Thailand, Laos und Cambodia.

After 10 years of living as a Phra Tudong, Luang Pho Koon went back to Kut Phiman and began with the reconstruction of the then completely forfeited Wat Banrai. Luang Pho Koon Parisuttho is a living legend and by far the most famous monk of Thailand! Today he is the most adored monk of his country and has bettered the degree of popularity and the talent of his teachers yet a long time ago.
