A Pho Kae, also Lersi, Phra Lersi or Than Lersi called, is a hermit who obeys the ancient ascetic apprenticeships. He does not belong to the Sangha (community of the monks), but obeys the traditional laws of the Indian hermits. He practices himself in asceticism, in the complete renunciation of all earthly.
The Lersis are valid as omniscient. They know the past, the present and the future.
At the moment there are known in Thailand in particular 108 Phra Lersis, nevertheless, one believes that far more of them live in sheet huts and caves, in the border areas to Laos, Cambodia and Burma. Although the Phra Lersis are no Buddhists in the real sense, they are high revered and respected by the population.
The Phra Lersis are herbalists and healers, they live exclusively from what the nature offers them as food. The incalculable sign of a Phra Lersi is his garment from tiger skin with a pot-shaped hat. These are most old, thin men with long beards.
After the old Indian traditions the Phra Lersis received their knowledge from the gods and hand it exclusively over to men from generation to generation.
Therefore, the Phra Lersis are adored particularly by students and graduates. A Phra Lersi amulet should make the student a knowing one.
The Phra Lersis are valid as founder of the Thai (Buddhist?) magic, therefore one often finds a Phra Lersi with practising magicians on the altar, because he protects against bad magic and ghosts. Phra Lersis are also called for certain ceremonies and rituals and are asked for help.
Everyone, who searches protection against ghosts, black magic and negative energy, as well as Voodoo magic in Thailand, wears a Phra Lersi amulet or even better one that was made by a Phra Lersi.
