Luang Pu Doo 32nd Death Anniversary.
Today the 17th January 2565 marks Luang Pu’s 32nd Death Anniversary. Seems so quickly how time has flown – I still remember writing a post commemorating Luang Pu’s passing away last year. On the night of January 16 2533, Luang Pu Doo came out of his kuti to meet his luksits for the last time of his life.
Luang Pu told his disciples, “There is no part of my body which is not in pain. If it was an ordinary person, he would be in the ICU a long time ago.”
Then Luang Pu added, “Now I am going off already. Whatever happens, don’t leave the practice of the Dhamma. Like a boxer, you have to get on stage and start punching right away.
Don’t just stand there and fool around…”
That night, Luang Pu carried the burden of his physical rupa as if it was an old house. Turning back, he entered his kuti for the last time. Now even though Luang Pu has left his physical body, Luang Pu has become more widespread and well-known than ever. He has even more luksits than he ever had when he was alive, and is known internationally, beyond the borders of Thailand.
Luang Pu Doo once mentioned, “The baramee of Bodhisatta Luang Pu Thuad is vast and immense, just like the sky.” But I personally have no doubt that the baramee of Luang Pu Doo is equally extensive. The number of branches, both official and unofficial ones, venerating Luang Pu has been increasing exponentially in Thailand.
I myself am surprised at how this page has taken off on its own in just 2 years. When I spoke to Luang Ta Ma three years ago, he said he did have some followers in Singapore, but there were very few. I didn’t have any group to start off with, and I have never sponsored or boosted a single post as of now.
So I feel that it must be because of the baramee of Luang Pu Doo, who as a Bodhisatta has cultivated an infinite number of affinities with many sentient beings. That is why many devotees who just see his face or hear his name have an instant faith in and devotion to him.
As Luang Pu himself mentioned to his luksits, “If we didn’t meet before in our past lives, it is unlikely that you would have arrived here in Wat Sakae.”
May Luang Pu continue to look after us all.
Namo Bodhisattto Prompanyo
