Venerable Doo Brahmapanyo

When you are thinking of me,

I am thinking of you.
Even if you do not think of me,
I am still thinking of you.

The Buddha Bhrammapanyo Monastery.

The Buddha Bhrammapanyo Monastery [Wat Tham Muang Na] is
located in the Muang Na district, Chiang Dao, Chiang Mai.
From Chiang Mai, driving through Chiang Dao District and pass about
3 k.m., there is a three-way junction called Sam Yak Muang Ngai. Then turn
left and drive along this road.
In Muang Ngai, there is King Naresuan Monument. Some people would
pay homage to this Great King.
When reach Muang Ngai, there are traffic signs show the directions until
reach to the Muang Na district. When arriving at Muang Na, turning right
and going toward about 2 km, there is a wooden sign leading to Wat Tham
Muang Na.

Tham Muang Na.

In the past, the Tham Muang Na cave was located on the troops
route that far away from the Myanmar-Thai border, which is about 1.5 km
away. At present, there is the emigrant centre of Chan State there. Thousands
of Chan People stay tranquilly around the Tham Muang Na cave.
His Majesty King Naresuan the Great once had led the Thai army to
go through and fight with the Ung-Wa to protect Muang Ngai, San Wi,
which was a colony of Ayudhaya. The King moved his troops through
Chiang Mai, and worshipped to Phra Buddhasihing, and marched the army
to an installation at Muang Ngai. The troops moved through Muang Na, thus
getting into Thung Kaew, Muang Hang, [Muang Hang now is in Myanmar,
and named Muang Tuan] in order to fight with Ung-Wa. At that moment
the King was very sick with smallpox.

Presumption.
At the moment, His Majesty King Naresuan the Great was severely sick.
All Thai Commanders-in-Chief had to move the troops back along the way of
Muang Na cave. On the way back of troops, the ailment of His Majesty King
Naresuan was getting worse. All the commanders decided to set up and to
lead the troops to a big cave to become the quarter, more easily than make
a billet during a seriously timing of His Majesty the King.
The informal presumption showed that His Majesty King Naresuan the
Great was passed away in the cave during the war.
Tham Munag Na cave is now located near by the route, 8 meters high
from the ground, 20-30 people can sit comfortably there. The surrounding
is about dead end cave, flat grounding, but the landmark of the entrance
of the cave is wide opened, it looks like some people trying to make the
entrance more wider, and brought all rocks making a path to leading to the
cave. [the old surroundings must be the cliffs as surrounding area] The
entrance of the cave is about 5 meters, this landmark is quite different than
others cave, in order to take care a lots of people to get through. The erosion
of all rocks path should take more than hundreds years to became a flat
path and easily for walking. The surroundings of the forest even now still
plentifully area. Normally the troops had no need to make the quarter in the
cave or made the entrance more wide opened, and the surroundings area
nearby had nothing about the religious place or any important stuff in history to
keep in.
Another presumption about the death of His Majesty King Naresuan,
suddenly happened at Tham Muang Na cave, which is not as we read in the
history book. All the commanders in chief saluted and moved the body of His
Majesty King Naresuan through the cave.
This surrounding Thai-Myanmar area, King Naresuan was just only one of
the Royal Family who travelled in this area.

The general characteristic of the cave.

The general characteristics of Tham Muang Na is the big cave, which
has a flat largely stone inside, now all Buddha images are placed. According
to the monk who living here told that Luang Poo Doo who was at Wat
Sa Kae, Ayudhaya many years ago, who never walked out from the
monastery since he became a monk until his death in 1990. [except just the
one pilgrimage] All local people in Ayudhaya saluted to Luang Poo Doo, he
told his student to go to Tham Muang Na, because it is the deaths place of
His Majesty King Naresuan the Great. Then Venerable Warongkot Wiriyadharo
[Luang Ta Ma] took the pilgrimage and finally founded it. Luang Ta Ma had
asked all local Chan people and they also told that around Tham Muang Na
disctrict, there is just only one cave which is the Tham Muang Na cave.

The History of Muang Na Disctrict.

The telling story from the old local Chan people, Lord Buddha had
been here preaching to people. The placed that the Buddha went for
preaching called San Doi Tuay, where various streams joined to became one.
The Buddha was standing at the large tree and attained the salute from
people. And surely not even all human beings, all others animals made the
worship as well, and there was the White King Elephant among all, faith and
brought some fruits to present to the Buddha. Suddenly that the Buddha
touched these fruits, all became to be golden fruits, ordinary name of these
fruits is Na [Myrobalan]. The White King Elephant decided to be the follower
of the Buddha. Many days passed, the White King Elephant went to the
stream nearby, but he was faced with sudden death from the beat up by a
fierce hunter. The body of the White King Elephant was slowly drown and
disappeared. The Hunter had met the Buddha, and asked for Dhamma how
to avoiding all bad Karma. After Listenning to Dhamma he decided to settle
down there. This is the history of Muang Na.

Sakae Monastery, Moo 7 Tambon Dhanu, Amphur U-Thai, Ayudhaya.

Biography.
His ordinary name was Doo, he was born in May 10, 1904. Which is The
Vesak Day, full moon on the year of the great snake. The Birthplace was at

also helped her husband to baked Thai sweets in the kitchen. Suddenly,
they heard of loudly dogs barking, and its running to the kitchen and the
porch. They thought that there was something wrong about dogs habits.
They rushed into the porch, and could not find the child. They were shocked,
and run quickly to the terrace and found nothing but the baby-bed was in
the river, floated to the fence. His father jumped immediately to the river and
carried his son from the baby-bed. Miracle happened to their minds, cause
of sons rescued. They were thought about how their son was fallen down
from the porch, he was just the little baby, could not yet roll over. It may be
whether the wind blow, or the magic wind that brought their son into the
river. They thought about this event, and also asked themselves why the
baby-bed was not turn back. They kept thinking of any causes of accident.
But it was not make any senses. So their parents had got the affirmation that
their son was the special soul. When Luang Poo Doo grown up, he spent his
life in the priesthood until the last moment of his life.
The childhood of the Venerable Doo seemed to be the tragedy,
he had to confront with lost. His mother was died since he was a baby,

grandmother and eldest sister [Soon]. He graduated from Wat Klang Klong Sra
Bua, Wat Pradusongtham, and Wat Nivetthammaprawat.

The Priesthood.
His ordination had begun from 21 years old, on May 10, 1925 at Wat
Sa Kae, U-Thai, Ayudhaya. The Venerable Klan, the abbot of Wat Prayattikaram
was the preceptor.
On his ordination ceremony. Luang Poo Klan, the abbot of Wat
Phrayatikaram was a Preceptor, Luang Poo Dae, the abbot of Sakae was an
Annoucing Preceptor, Luang Poo Chai, the abbot of Wat Klong Sa Buo was
an Ordination-Teacher. His designation was Bramhmapanyo Bhikku. In the
earlier years, Luang Poo Doo went to Wat Pradoo Nai Songtham for the
Scripture Study from Luang Poo Nuang, Pra Kru Chom, Luang Poo Rod.
For the Meditation Praticing, he was instructed by Luang Poo Klan, the
Preceptor, and also by Luang Poo Pao, who was the Venerables Klans
student, and was his uncle. Luang Poo Doo practiced from many monks all
around Supanburi and Saraburi provinces, then at the third year of ordination,
he had started his first pilgrimage.
Since 1957, Luang Poo Doo accepted the priest mastication once a
day for his obligation, and then in 1972, he was getting older, his followers
asked him to accepted meal twice a day, as his kindness that he would like
to met and teach to remote people.

The Auspices of Dhamma.

Around 1957, after finished evening chanting as everyday, Luang Poo
Doo was taking some rest and he had the dream of auspices that saw the
sacred lights, three shining stars, he had eaten its all. And then he suddenly
woke up and got a knowledge at that moment about the three shining
stars. He was confirmed that the three shining stars was the Triple Gem. This
auspices made him impressed on it. He realized by himself that taking the
refuge of the triple Gem is the path of the enlightenment.
The Triple Gem: the Buddha, the Dhamma (the teachings), and the
Sangha (the community) was mainly the roots of Buddhism. So he used the
Triple Gem for the mantra conduction.

The Compassions.
Luang Poo Doo had welcome to all kind of People, he told his
assistants to against discrimination. Many people from faraway would like to
meet him and pay the homage, and some would like to have the discussion
of Dhamma Thoughts, with him.
His mercy could clarify of many actions, he delighted and was so
happy whenever people would like to get an idea and the guidance to
practicing meditation from him. Venerable Doo was the perfect supporter
for all people, friendly and down to earth. Anybody could not see he
blustered to people. Once, Choa Khun Sa-ngiem, the priest of Wat
Suthattepwararam come to visit to him, even he was older than him, he still
bowed to him at first, then Venerables Doo bowed back to Chao Khun, it was
the wonderful moment and impressed to all. This has shown that both of them
were not indefilement, not arrogant and not boastful.
Luang Poo Doo never criticized or insulted other way of practicing
meditation. He said that The Goodie should not insulted to all others.
His followers alway attain to his thoughts. His action was the kind of
reticence, closed-lipped. Most of his teaching involved with how to
consideration in life.

Example;
The protective talisman contained in oneself, just practice the dhamma.
Be awareness, keep mindfulness.
Do not be spoiled, do not forget the Deaths.
Always considering to eternity of life, Anijja, Dhukka, Anatta.

The Priest of Ayudhaya, Luang Poo Tuad.

Luang Poo Tuad (Thai: ), was born in 1582 and died in 1682
is a revered Buddhist monk who lived in Siam. He is said to have performed
miracles. Luang Poo Doos Teaching to his followers is to salute to Luang Poo
Tuad forever. He said about the holy prestige of Luang Poo Tuad was beyond
the times, and become the Expected Buddha.
All followers should have the salute to Luang Poo Tuad, whenever one
was obstructed on meditation practicing or in troubles, just reminded to
Luang Poo Tuad, for spiritual instructor.
One thing that followers should remembers always is do not leave the
practice of dhamma.

The Buddha Image.

How and why we have to make the Buddha Image.
Luang Poo Doo never identified himself as an expert to anyone.
Although he taught his followers to make the Buddha image for spiritual
support to all human beings. He said that it was better for one to attach to
sacred object than to unfortunate object.
He insisted and convinced all followers to practice the dhamma and
do meditation. Some people came to him and asked for amulets for protection purpose, he would say that the amulet was inside everyone when you
pray: Buddha, Dhamma, Sangka.
The pathway of practicing meditation, he told all followers to hold the
amulets in hand for enhancing concentration on mind, body and Phra
Maha Jakkrapat. Then they would become more progressive in meditation
practicing, and mindfulness.
Holding amulet is very helpful, better than practicing alone by oneself,
it is the technique that to keeping the Triple Gem in their minds all the time.
The reason that he made these Buddha Images are recollection of
the Triple Gem, the deception for practicing dhamma. Many followers, monks
and layperson could realized Bodhi Buddha in oneself. This is the origin of the
Buddha Images Luang Poo Doo.

The relic amulet.

Whenever we see Laung Poo Doos amulet, there are always Holy
Relics has attached to them.
All followers regarded to his guidance about holding the amulet and
meditation practicing, the number of Holy Relic will increase, miracle could
happen to oneself and they can get the consciousness to themselves.
The Buddha images Luang Poo Doo, sometime are attached with Holy
Relic, The shape of relic which occurred look like the crystal, different sizes,
and become bigger during the meditation practicing of oneself.
Sometime it could not see any relic of the Lord Buddha, but his amulet
is still miraculousness.
The magical energy that he brought to all images is so supreme
by themselves. Even the characters of the amulets have various and
difference in shapes, the magical energy is originate from one. All followers
can use any types for practicing meditation.
His instruction does not attach to the images, when he was alive, he
made a lot of amulet to fill in Pagoda in order to succeed Buddhism.
Luang Poo Doo always said about not to attach to the Buddha images,
but had to practice meditation to realize that the Buddha is in oneself, by
oneself to become awaken. He also said that, if one could realize this trick
and this guidance, attaining to Nirvana is not so difficulty.

The final period of life.

Since 1984, Luang Poo Doos physical health was getting worst, he had
to receive cordially to people, and he had no chance to take enough rest.
Even though he was very severe ill, he still showed his mercy to all. The monk
who took care of him said that sometime he could not stand by himself, all
of his body was shaking while he was tring to sit or stand up. Luang Poo Doo
never said just any words to make trouble to his followers. The doctors detected
he has the heart-disease. All doctors asked him to take a rest in the hospital,
but he refused to do so.
In 1989, Luang Poo Doo said very often to his followers about his passing
away. But he still conducted the lessons to all with his toleration. The painful
suffering happened from every part of his body, but no one noticed, he
maintained mindfulness.
In January 16, 1990, the air force man come to see him. Luang Poo
Doo was sitting up very active. His aura was shining, and calm. Luang Poo
Doo has the delightful to greeting to the air force man, the new follower and
said to others that it was time for him to get well. In that night, some
followers had visited to Luang Poo Doo and then he said about his painful
that it was so painful, for other people, they should be in the emergency
room. Then he told everyone that his time has come.
His instructions before dying was that Never carelessness in every
moment of life
Do not leave practicing meditation in your daily life, as example, we
are the boxer, when the boxing ring had started, we needed just to fight and
have no time for hesitation at all.
In the latest moment in that night, Luang Poo Doo passed away
peacefully with the heart-disease. He died in January 17, 1990, at the age of
85, his dying brought all followers were deeply affected, seemed like the
dhamma lamp for followers were switched off.

The cremation set up in April 20, 1991.

He said to his followers that, do not involve with the depravity.
Referring to the Buddhas teaching, All should stay away from demerit.
In order to remind to all, the memory in the mind, will record both, good
karma and bad karma. Whenever the death would come to oneself, at the
last minute the mind will lead us to heaven or hell, depend on how we did
in our past life. Unless oneself attach to any feeling at the last minute of life,
it show where mind is going to in the next life.

Since the first time that he Practiced those guidances, he could

sense something special that never happened before, he could reach into
peacefulness easily. Then he never looked for any other Guru again. Luang
Poo Doo was just the first and only one guru-monk for him. He said that
after the first meeting, he realized that he had to carry on his guidance.
Luang Poo Doo will give diffent guidance to each follower which will depend
upon to each charisma. Luang Ta Ma said that the guru-monk was burst out
the sacred energy and charisma.
Luang Ta Ma told the story of his Master, Luang Poo Doo even though
at his age about 70, but he had rosy skin, according to the burst out the
sacred energy and charisma. In one day, some followers would like to cover
his legs with the gold leaf. He never so no, but on that night his legs were
swollen. After that he never gave any permission to do such thing again.
Luang Ta Ma told this story with laughing and told that he himself had also
participate in that action through unawareness.
While the Luang Poo Doo was alive, he conducted his followers to
consort how to make the Buddha images, to performed meritorious deed,
and to be grateful to the Buddhas grace. One of the most instructions that
known to all followers is attach to sacred object is better than attech by
Unfortunate object,
The art of convincing people to hold the Buddhas grace is easy to
teaching to people who stuck and hit the bottle all the time. In the old days,
Luang Ta Ma was the one of followers who engaged in Luang Poo Doos
incantation.
Meanwhile, Luang Ta Ma was the layman, his thought intentionality and
spirit committed himself to the ordinations. Luang Ta Ma had travelled back
and forth from Bangkok to Ayudhaya for many years, studied lots of
meditation practicing. Then Luang Ta Ma decided to get into the ordination.
Luang Poo Doo said to him that to become the monk, the mind and the
spirit of oneself should also get into the ordination Luang Poo Doo also gave
the secret technique to him, as oneself was being on the sitting posture or
doing meditation, one recalled the Triple Gem for the mantra. To remind the
Triple Gem, Buddham Saranum Gacchami. I homage the Lord Buddha to be
my preceptor, Dhammam Saranam Gacchami. I homage the dhamma to be
my annoucing Preceptor, Sandkham Saranam Gacchami. I homage Sangka
to be my ordination-Teacher. Calming your mind, man could be the Buddhist

monk, women could be the Female monk. Making the hard effort to calm
oneselfs mind to be ordained, meant to fruits of merit, it was the best
technique to perform superb meritorious acts. For example, to Prostrate oneself to worship Buddha as soon as wake up, driving, have the meal, take a
bath, doing in any routines, you still have to keep your mind to the Lord
Buddha. Living for the good deeds in any actions of your life. Being good for
all, congratulations to all, rejoice with others fortune and good virtue, then
your heart and soul will be in peace.
Whenever oneself was being in good virtue, so the wickedness will
go faraway, or that oneself will keep away from bad deeds. So, when mind
of oneself becomes the monk, then appearance will get into automatic
change. Starting from the mind, better than to wear in yellow robe, but their
mind were the thief.
Luang Ta Ma, layman life, he practiced so much to reach into the core
of calmness. Keep control mind and body to be the ordained. The milestone
of his life happened before going to ordained about one year, Luang Ta Ma
rode the motorbike back and forth from Ayudhaya to Bangkok, there was
the unavoidable accident. While he was ridding on his motorbike, it was
suddenly pinched, tumbled him right away, crashed against the road, he
turned immediately to lose his consciousness. According to the doctor, he got
cracked skull, but no blood clot in brain, no injured at all. At that time he had
been treated for three months, then he rocovered and was strong and
healthy. Luang Ta Ma described to the accident that he wore just amulet
and the Luang Poo Doos ring. As soon as he was in the better condition, he
went to worship to Luang Poo Doo at the temple. Ven. Doo addressed to him
that The old life was gone, now it was time to reborn.
After the accident has elapsed, Luang Ta Ma completed his mind and
body to the ordination. One of the doctrine that instructed from Luang Poo
Doo, to be in the ordained, who will be his Preceptor. The Preceptor is so
important for the layman. The Preceptor must be the monk both in the body
and mind, as if the preceptor was just covered the yellow robe, but not
realized in his mind, so anyone who would like to be in ordained, could not
be the monk. After that Luang Ta Ma went to worship to Luang Por Hual, Wat
Buddhaisawan, asking for the preceptor. Luang Por Hual was the good one in
teaching. Luang Ta Mas ceremony ordination under Luang Por Hual in
July 24, 1988. Wat Budtaisawan, Ayudhaya. The provost Bhadharakijasobhona

[Luang Por Hual] was the Preceptor. The provost Soondhorndhammanidhesa

[Luang Por Boonsong] was the Announcing Preceptor. The provost Bhikijjadhorn
[Luang Por Sa-nae] was the Ordination teaher. Luang Ta Ma has got the
monkhood named the Venereble Wiriyadharo
After an ordained, Luang Ta Ma would like to go on to his pilgrimage,
but Ven. Hual would like him to accomplished the lent. During that moment,
Luang Por Tieam, Wat Kasattradhiraj would like to instruct him the cabbala,
but he turned it down, since he felt that studying in cabbala need more time
to memorizing, But he aim a to learn from the only guru-monk, Luang Poo Doo.
After the rainy season, he worshiped to Luang Poo Doo and asked for
permission to the pilgrimage. Luang Poo Doo gave him five hundreds Bath,
the personal belonging of monkhood, and the amulets Ven. Doo image.
Luang Poo Doo had spoken with him that I am always accompany with you,
if there is any question about practicing meditation or anything, do meditate
and seek for the advice. Some might has got the doubtful, since amulets
made from cement, just recite the incantation over them, then amulet speak
to oneself. All followers of Luang Poo Doo have believed that every amulet
was alive.
Luang Ta Ma told that once he saw Luang Poo Doo gathered all
amulets into the enamelware and told everyone to close their eyes,
meditated and blessed. After few minutes has passed, amulets were clanking.
Everyone thought that Luang Poo Doo putted his hand to the enamelware,
except one among them who still opened his eyes during the ritual, saw that
Luang Poo Doo just hold the enamelware very slightly. But all amulet were
clanking back and forth. Luang Poo Doo saw that guy did not close his eyes,
then signaled him not to tell anyone there. After Ven. Doos the death, This
story had been revealed.
The cement amuletss Luang Ta Ma is not so simple as anyone thought.
Whenever anyone followed to his meditation practicing, holding in hand and
praying, some might get the feeling about the energy and brought the
energy to reach into the core of the calmness. Sometimes the amulet just
clanked with unexpectation. All followers proof these by themselves, do not
believe anyone until you can proof by yourself. When someone asked about
unexpected situation of amulets, Ven. Ma smiled and said that all amulets
from Ven. Doo can wriggle when reciting incantations over it, Guru Monk

have to entreat to all Lord Buddhas grace and prestiges, the dhammas
prestiges, the Sangas prestiges, goddess, angles and Brahman from the three
worlds to become one, with the virtuous intension, to consolidate to the Phra
Katha Maha Jajjrapat toward all amulets. And also make the offering to the
magic formula calls Bhudhas Relics Spirits, which is one of extraordinary
enchantment. That causes for all amulets to move like a living thing. For those
who brings the amulets for practicing meditation, reaching into the core of
the calmness; it is the method to connects the sacred energy, body and
mind together.
Since more than 20 years ago, Luang Ta Ma have been going to his
pilgrimage all around northern part of Thailand. The surrounding of the cave
and the sanctuary at that time was completely beautiful. He has got many
particular story. One day he travelled to Jomkitti Pagoda [Jom Jang Pagoda].
At outdoor, he prayed solemnly to the secret place in order to practicing
meditation. In the next morning, there was an old lay people visited Luang
Ta Ma, that man informed him about the cave in Muang Na district. He said
that if he was not infound that, he could go instead to The Four Footprints
Buddha Pagoda. Then he kept going to his pilgrimage through Luang Poo
Doos wisdom and proceed to the cave as the old lay peoples words. After
sending the message about the cave to Luang poo Doo. It was the time for the
hard practicing meditation.
In 1990, Luang Ta Ma had heard about Luang Poo Doos passing away.
He came back to Ayudhaya for the cremation. As soon as the cremation was
over, he went back to the cave, secluded himself from the social activities
more than 10 years. At that time he made a strong decision to proceed the
salvation. He addressed to himself that he will not go out of the cave, all
Chan lay people became the attendant to him. Luang Ta Ma was in the
Muang Na cave for 3 years, so he recalled the Bodhisattavas current from
the previous life, then he continued to mediatate on that current. He kept
this intention until the forth years, so he went out of the cave. At that time
he begun to build Tham Muang Na temple, inherited to Luang Poo Doos
guidance.
Luang Ta Ma succeed followers to Luang Poo Doos Teachings. All
followers were grateful for his compassion, learn how to extend kindness to
all three worlds, and pursue his teachings.

Enlightenment
The reputation of Bodhisattava
At present, the processions in Buddhism is a great number of people
around the world. Those who pay attention to several kind of practicing
Dhamma and meditation. There are two groups, the first group is aim to
practice meditation for Nirvana, the another is aim to practice meditation for
quality leading to the shore of Bodhisattava. But both finally aspire for Nirvana.
The Paths to Nirvana known as lay people have to take the extensively
accumulation of merit. The Buddha referred to those one who can reach
the enlightenment or Arahant.
According to the teaching of the Most Venerable Pra Rajbrammayanna
[Luang Por Rishi Ling Dam]s book that referred to the Buddhas enlightenment
is to accomplish.

The Ten Perfection as following:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Dama parami : generosity, giving of oneself

Sila parami
: virtue, morality, proper conduct
Nekkhama parami : renunciation
Panna parami : trancendental wisdom, insight
Viriya parami
: energy, diligent, vigour, effort
Khanti parami : Patieuce, tolerance, forbearance, acceptauce,
endurance
7. Sasea parami
: truthfulness, honest
8. Adhitthana parami : determination, resolution
9. Metta parami
: loving-kindness
10. Upekka parami : equanimith, serenity
Whenever referred to the Parami the monk who completed the Ten
Perfection,

The one have to gain strong consciousness, called Arahant [Arhat].

Some may doubt why lay people in the old time could reach the
enlightenment, even he or she just heard the few words of teaching from
the Lord Buddha.
As a matter of fact, they accomplished the Ten Perfection in the
previous lives, so when they have a chance to homage the Lord Buddha,
complete all factors with wisdom, the Parami were fulfilled, then called them
Arahant or Arhat.
In the other side, if those one lack of the Ten Perfection, they may have
got the wrong results. from the practicing.
We all could get the imagination during practicing meditation, some
can get rid of Dhukka [greed, anger,illusions] just for a moment, but could not
keep in concentration, then Dhukka remain.
Some could break Dhukka by the magical knowledge. If there is
anyone instructed to get rid of Dhukka, have much strong concern in the
five aggregates, consider all sufferings causing from them [Rupa,Vedhana,
Sanya, Sankara, Vinyana], realized that the sixteen causes of sorrows is so
strong that it cannot easily get rid of it. one should take more and more
contemplation.
Conditions go on their own way, nothing is certainly remaining.
Anything falling apart, Anicca. Consider to impermanence. If those one could
consider these with the the Ten Perfection, the sixteen causes of sorrow will
finish. Those one can clearly see the cause of the five aggregates, lacking
of generosity, lacking of morality, lacking of the eight precepts, lacking of the
contemplation to reach into the wisdom, lacking of diligence, lacking of
endurance, lacking of truthfulness, lacking of the reputation of contemplation,
lacking of compassion, lacking of the ignorance. But those one who are
confident on their virtuer should know that there are three levels of the Ten
Perfection or stages of spiritual perfection as follows:
17

4. To worship the Lord Buddha, those one who aspire to complete the
intelligence of enlightenment had a chance in the past life to
worship the Lord Buddha, and put the aim in front of the Lord

The Procedures of Parami or the Perfections

The period of time for any Bodhisattava who contemplate to the
intelligence of enlightenment should not less than the 4 of numbers follow by
140 ciphers, the 8 of numbers follow by 140 ciphers, or the 16 of numbers
follow by 140 ciphers, either. Bodhisattvas have to confront with any obstacle
in every birth life, no surrender for any reasons. For Mahayan doctrine called
Bodhisattvas Wishes who steadfast to the reputations and intelligence of
enlightenment that The Four Great of Wishes. [Maha Jatura Panidhan] as follow;

To release all desires from the world.

To Learn and grasp all Buddhas teaching.
To save all mankind from their sins.
To conduct oneself to reach into the intelligence of enlightenment.
Bodhisattava aims with the strong spirit to reach into the intelligence of
enlightenment.
As the Bodhisattva, those one contemplate the highest Perfections,
just for releasing all suffering to all human being.
As the Bodhisattva, those one has to get completely on the knowledge,
known that everything is uncertain.
As the Bodhisattava, those one who completed the intelligence of
enlightenment and pleasured to provide the Ultimate truth which release
them all suffering from the world.
As the Bodhisattava, those one will never change the aim, to get
complete onto the intelligence of enlightenment. Causing to release all being.
If those one completed the Arahat Macca, or become the private Buddha,
it is just for oneself, not for all.
Nowadays, there are the large of numbers of Thai Venerables who aim
to the intelligence of enlightenment; Ven. Ma is one of them. Phra Ajan
Warongkhot Wiriyadharo now live in Wat Thum Muang Na, Chiang Dao,
Chiang Mai. Ven. Ma was still carry on Ven. Doos teaching.
Luang Ta Ma said that, to do vipassana, the first thing which is very
important than others; you have to collect more energy and mindfulness,
which comes from Dhana, Sila and practicing meditation. If those one would
like to consider all and want to cleared up the chain of life, first of all, you
have to collect energy that could help to see things clearly, if you have not
enough energy or enough power of mindfulness, but you still would like to
21

Thinking of You

consider corpse or to get the wisdom from the dead body, its very risk for the
mind. Some may lost their minds and be insane.
Example, Venerable in the Theravada doctrine which follow Luang Ta
Mas teaching, they spent much more time for sitting and walking meditation,
put more attempt to concentrate on mindfulness. Whenever completed or
get more energy of mindfulness, they could cleared things up and get rid of
their own suffering, release immediately from the world.
We proudly presented the answering from Luang Ta Ma about how to
reach into the high Perfection. He said that, The matter of meditation practicing
is to know how to accumulate the contemplation and energy. Even though
those one did not realize anything as alive, but whenever close to dying,
at the last minute before the astral body out of oneself, if those ones
mindfulness had fulfilled, so its easy to reach where would like to go.
We asked further that; where the wisdom came from Luang Ta Ma
answered that wisdom came from hard practicing meditation. Doing
meditation to reach into the wisdom, finally those one will release all suffering.
So I wondered that how we knew that when it was enough for our
contemplation. Luang Ta Ma said that we could figure during bad emotions,
whenever it came, how did you feel. So, if you were in the good temper as
bad things happened to you, no angry, no anxious at all, be calm down,
showing that you were in stable mind, could being in the sublime state of
minds. If those one still angry to things all the time, showing that was not
enough energy and contemplation, have to practice more and more.
Then can we assume that the practicings way of Ven. Doo and Ven.
Ma, is the way to reach into high Perfection, doing the goodness. So how we
can do more to create the energy.
Luang Ta Ma said that creating the energy is very important, there are
various way of practicing. Depends on conductions, depends on instructors, for
Wat Thum Muang Na, our process is chanting Pra Maha Jakkapat, doing
meditation as hold the Buddha image in hand, also chanting, to grasp and realize
the Buddhas grace. Finally, when those one could create more energy, to reach
into the highest reputation become easier for Bodhisattva.
Luang Poo Doo composed Pra Kata Maha Jakkrapat from Chombhubadi
Sutta, the story told about the Lord Buddha transformed himself to be the
Great Emperor, to suppress Maha Chombhubadis convictions.
Pra Kata Maha Jakkrapat is the superb mantra that Luang Poo Doo
dedicate all goodness and energy to the three world. Also chanting during
contemplate to all Buddha images, rings amulet, amulets. Luang Poo Doo
alwayss gave his amulets to followers, just for practicing meditations tool, to
support to those one who practice meditation.

thoroughly how to connected the amulet, the sacred energy, Phra Kata
Maha Jakkrapat, so it is very useful and beneficial to any spirits within the

31

Thinking of You

Example. The strength house which has lots of negative energy. We

would like to help all spirits there, needed to dedicating merits to the hungry
ghost and other spirits there. So, the occult world could see the sacred aura
from anyone who is well-doer, and also anyone who wears the amulet. The
sacred light from the amulets will spread out to faraway area.
Whenever all spirits could get the sacred light, after that they were
uplifted the level to beangel or became more divinity. Sometime the hungry
ghost which was possessed on the side way for hundreds years, as soon as we
drove pass and dedicated all merits to them, like helping each other, give
and take. Imagine that in the future, if we were stuck on something, all spirits,
God, angle, hungry ghost that uplifted by the merits already, could help us
solve any problem and support each others.
The hungry ghost which was keep around, tortered from the black
magic, its all meant to be as slaves, could not take any merits from no one
or the owner. Whenever they all could take merits that we dedicated, it was
very good karma, there are lots and lots spirits which could not stay in any
levels, like the stray spirits.
Luang Ta Ma always travel with his followers to dedicating merits to all
spirits, all over Thailand, although he said that there is still lots of stray sprits,
example some place mentioned the name of person that they could get the
sacred light, not in general.
So, wherever we travel, reminding to ourselves all the time to dedicating
merits to all. First of all, we have to request for the greatness from all Buddhas
and also chanting Phra Maha Jakkrapat, and then Sappe is the chant just
for dedicating merits to all.
Some might have got the question about chanting and dedicating
merits, that meant to exploit any spirits or not, the answer is No, because it is
the only way for stray spirits to rejoice with merits. [Anumodhana]

Buddha amulet have to go to, the sacred lights from the amulet
spreading out over that area, so lots of spirits included the evil could
see the sacred lights, and then followers should dedicating merits to
all, with the four principle states of mind.

Instructions
1. Always dedicating merits to all spirits, even we were in the fresh
market, could do the goodness to all. Whenever those one could do
very often, keep mind in the four principle states of mind, it will be
useful to all, not even oneself, but for friends, family, society, the
world and it is the way to spread good energy to the three worlds.
2. Before meal, Luang Ta Ma always tell to follower to remind oneself
to dedicating merits to food, especially for meat. It is the way to
release animal s grudge. It was really connected, even the soup
that has meat, so dedicating merits to all before eating is the secret
way to release painful from disease.

For those who get the relic Buddha amulet, and would like to learn
how to connect, please read as follow;
To concentrate the Luang Poo Doos Picture with smoothly and gently
mind, seems like just looking at, no need to seriously looking, as like whenever
we were thinking of someone we love the most. The face will showed up in
our vision and minds. As soon as we could picture Luang Poo Doo in our
mind, his sacred energy and the greatness would come. After that, may we
all request to him and ask how to practicing meditation. And said that may
I asked for learning about the sacred energy, please show me how it progress
and possibility under truly actions. Please also keep pictured his face in our
mind with smoothly and gently meditation and mindfulness. Some could see
how things change and possibility in the mystery and the real world.

Tip: concentrate the Luang Poo Doo with gently and smoothly mind.

Contemplation to macca, to Niravana.

As the human being, conviction is still attached to any daily moment
for any life. Some may seek the way to release their own suffering and would
like to go out from the mankind sufferings, the cycling of life.
So they all see things in the same way that do meditation and get the
consolation, the equanimity is just the only way for calm down their minds. But
they knew that it is very hard to keep contain mindfulness all the time, since
in the daily life, we have to get all emotions from others and from our
convictions, and also surely from the affected perception thoroughly the six
senses. If those one could observing any affected perception thoroughly six
sense as truly actions, just observing, no need to dress up in any emotions or
actions, considering with dhamma teaching about impermanent of things, so
it could say that those one could realize the dhamma teaching by oneself.

Practicing
Holding gently, breathing smoothly as chanting Phra Kata Maha
Jakkrapat,remind to the greatness of all Buddha, Dhamma and Sangka.
The human tranquilly is quite different, depend on hows their behavior.
So, let us try and considering oneself which state of mind that reach into the
core of calmness, and then deliberate things under the dhamma teaching in
the daily life.

Example causes and effects.

1. Considering about the impermanent of life. Considering about the
death. Never cling to the life. Just aim to reach into the state of
consciousness and Niravan.
2. Considering to all desires in oneself. Controlling all desires with
meditations.
3. Considering to the body which is not belong to anyone, It is unstable.
4. If one suspects in the doctrine and the Lord Buddha, those one may
find the old wisdom by practicing meditation, until there are no
doubt in Dhamma and the Lord Buddha.
5. Those one keep contain themselves to the five or the eight preceptions,
not just reading.
6. Sensual desire is too dangerous for those one who is meditation
practicing.
7. Those one should notice the ill-will, and try to get rid of it.
8. Finally, whenever those one is on the path and try to get rid of all
defilement, they will finally find the state of consciousness and
Niravana.

The relic amulet has the sacred energy and the special wisdom to us.
The amulets are not be just only the good luck charm, but they are the
medium tool to progress in meditation practicing.
The relic Buddha amulet are granted to people all over the world,
Luang Ta Ma who continued teaching Luang Poo Doos doctrine, he has
made a lot of amulets and are widespread in Thailand and abroad.
According to these, the mailing expense is the responsibility of Wat Thum
Muang Na.
In order to propagate the teaching of Luang Poo Doo to all. Luang Ta
Ma had said that if anyone could attain the relic amulet, and still practice
chanting Phra Maha Jakkrapat, whenever those one is going to death but
still holding the amulet in hand until the last minute of life as well as
concentrating to the amulet, that one will be uplifted to Bhrama. His
mentioned did not mean that anyone who holds the relic Buddha amulet in
hand always becomes uplift to Brahma. But it means that how often we hold
the relic Buddha amulet in hand for meditation practicing, our mind [citta]
also reach into the core of calmness. The last minute of life for all will be the
weaken minute to those one who never meditation practice when they are
alive.
And for sure that if those one had never practiced meditation before,
their citta will go to the previous deeds. [these four evil state are hell,
petayoni [hungry ghost], ugly and misery ghost [asurayoni] and all kinds of
animals, depends on citta before the last minute of life. Always considering
that there is no tomorrow for those one who learn to practicing meditation,
today is maybe just the last day in life to do goodness, life is impermanence,
but death is definitely permanent to all. For that reason, we all knew that
even living with any obstacles, but we could breath, so we have a chance
to do goodness to oneself and to others. We could do goodness at our own
house. To spend money for goodness or offerings is not the essential way.
But to keep contain smoothly breathing with mindfulness, chanting, and
meditation, is very easily way for all.

bowl of benedition. Moreover, Luang Poo Kasem had ever said that the relic
Buddha amulet could protect one from the absorbed dose.
Luang Poo Doo said that the relic Buddha amulet is proper for
meditation practicing. He said to his follower that being a human has to do
goodness to oneself and others, do not disinterested in the benefit of life.

on the Buddha amulet. As many times founded that the relic had covered
all the amulet, glitteringly shine. The relic was different colors and shapes,
depend on anyones practicing meditation and their previous deeds.
Luang Ta Ma said that the first time he saw the relic, from inspecting
the broken Buddha amulet, and saw that it look like glass inside. Considering
to any causes, so that he knew that the relic [Phra Dhammatat] was conjunct
inside the amulet, after that the relic will spread outside. Luang Ta Ma said
that even some of the relic Buddha amulet has no relic at all, but those one
still keep practicing, the relic will finally occur on it.

The relic Buddha amulet of Luang Poo Doo has looked like the
glitteringly diamond. Some follower used to bring the amulet to the
archeologist for inspection, the result is that the relic should come from
calcium hydroxide, it is the crystal stone of the lime. But one thing which is
very important about this explanation is whenever the crystal stone occurred,
it has to burned by the extreme heat temperature. The archeologist asked me
that how highest temperature, so I said that just normal as we used to, as like
in the daytime. Then we discussed about how to practicing meditation, and
believe that the relic which occurred upon the Buddha amulet comes from
Whenever anyone chants Phra Kata Maha Jakkrapat, the clairvoyance
people could see the sacred light. It looks like the crystal celestial castle
covering to anyone who chants. And the halo which compose of Bodhisattavas
weapon, as follow; the Great Crown, the Trident, the crystal disc, the sacred
Knife. All is the majestic matter for the Expected Buddha, so that the Great
Crown is the majestic matter which is appropriate to Luang Poo Buddha
Dhawaro. The Arahat one who used to bring the Great Crown, and offer to
Luang Poo Doo,like offering to the Buddha. So,The rest of weapons is just for
enhancement ones status.
Brahmavihara is the moral principle for all, any society that people
could contain this moral, should bring peace for all.
Observing the precepts and Brahmavihara has to be together.
Loving kindness or Metta, it is not passionate love, but it is a sincere wish
for the genuine welfare of others.
Compassion or Karuna; to have a kind heart when you see someone
are poor and sufferable from painful sicknesses of the body, you will try to do
anything to help that person to gain relief from suffering.
Sympathetic joy, appreciative joy or Mudhita, it is the congratulatory
attitude and joyful for others prosperity and success.
Equanimity or Upekkha, this concentration of neutral feeling can get rid
of the bad feeling and sadness. It keeps the mind at state of consciousness
when fases with troubles of life.

became the ball shape, making the small hole, binding the rope to it; and he
gave them to children. There was an accident, which the child was drown to
the river, but nothing happened to him. So it was widely spoken, that it was
benedition and called it the sacred marble. For this moment, at Wat Thum
Muang Na, Luang Ta Ma still carry on this knowledge, but use the marble
instead of cement.
We use the sacred marble for dedicated all merits, asked for the stage
of spritural perfection achived by Luang Poo Doo to save mankind, spirits, and
ghosts. Example in order to dedicating merits to specific place, we just drop
the sacred marble over that place, anytime that we were chanting, the
sacred marble will shining and all spirits there could get the lights of virtue.

And how about Pued Loka

So, this is it, but you have to pass this moment first, vision to his picture.
vision to his picture, and after that ?
Sure, do not practice just by yourself, always ask for the stage of spritural
perfection achived by Luang Poo Doo, ask for the knowledge, do not
think that you could do it by yourself, not just for energy, it was
connected by his sacred energy.
just follow him.
Correct, this is very easy training, but so serious if you were thinking
that it is yours energy, followers who are stubborn will be insane.
I get it.
First of all, ask for the stage of spritural perfection achived by Luang Poo
Doo and remind to him, in every practicing.
Sometime, could not see anything, is that cause he wont permit, right?
If you could see something, it is because he let you know that.
Always follow the Great Master.
For his teaching, actually it is involved with the sacred energy, and
dedicating all merits to the three worlds, is not related to much with the
real world, We just do for nothing, that is the matter.
With our heart, no matter or what, just help others for nothings.
Correct, like this, someone come to visit you, but you could senses that
there is something wrong about the spirits which come by, you could
dedicating all merits suddenly, no need to tell anyone or that person, if
you could do like this, it is so perfect.
Back to Brahmavihara.
Sure, no need to get any regains from anyone.
Have to vision and also chanting Phra Maha Jakkrapat.
Thats the main point. If you were lots of skills about the visions, you could
see the future.
Also automatic.
Right. Or sometime if it were like something bad wil happen, you could know.
He always protect us.
Correct.

The Knowledge about the sacred energy, the

three world and dedicating to all.
The sacred energy is so delicate subject to explain in general. Those
who learned some about crystals, chakra, pranayama, the cosmic
universe may easy to understand as follows:
1. There are various universes much more than our perceptions. Many
people who can connect those universes can get useful energy.
2. The human being, compose by mind and body, astral body and so
on, those who practice direct to the sacred energy, is very beneficial
contemplation to all.
3. To cherish the instructions depends on those who contemplated,
example to Bodhisattava contemplation has more power than the
lay person.
4. If it were like we human being and all spirits could connected to
each other all the time, thats bring more sacred energy to the world.
5. The body and mind has so essentially subject to create or destroy,
spirits has no body, just the virtuous energy, whenever connected to
each others, more power, better create, dedicate to all, no need to
regains, become more powerful.
6. The relic amulet, any type, any series, which contemplated with
Phra Maha Jakkrapat could connect to the three world, so we
called pued Loka thats mean the oppening of the three world.
Once in a while this knowledge will come to this world.
7. To follow the knowledge should complete to all composing, as follow;
8. Composing.

Thinking of You

The relic amulet, to easy to understand, let us

imagine that the relic amulet is the chip to
transmitter.
The greatness of Luang Poo Doo is the sensor or the tripper.
The human being [body and mind] is the monitor.
The complete tuned up mind and body with the sacred energy.
The politeness to all is the key.

The rethorics Luang Poo Doo and Luang Ta

Ma.
The Welldoer will not bring wickedness to others.
Do not harm to others.
Badness or Goodness,depends on oneselfs doing.
Whenever we just walk pass by others, even they were poor or very
rich, so not insult to anyone, they might be the noble man, anyone could not tell.
Love to all, rely on some of friends, have no despise to all.
When you are thinking of me, I am thinking of you. Even if you do not
think of me, I am still thinking of you.
Youre not eventually thinking of me, but I still have you in my heart.
Try to remind yourself to hold the relic amulet all the time until the last
minute of your life, this is the way to recollection of the Buddha.
Any human beings and spirits is under the law of Karma.
Just the Virtue that we could rely on.
I affirmed that the relic amulet, second to none.
No one loves you, except the one that would like to be awaken.
Active or inactive, just do chanting and the goodness.
Abandoned from all, get to the Nirvan. Attached to all, get to the
bridgehead.
Always dedicating, if you could not do it, just remind me, I wil do it for you.
We are alone, even on birth or on death, humans story is just
gathering to each others, and disperse.
Just do it, hard or easy, your duty is just practicing meditation.
