Luang Pu Doo

Luang Pu Doo

In general, when the Kruba Ajaans pluksek (consecrate) sacred objects, they will use certain kathas which they prefer. For instance, most monks including Luang Phor Samruay, use kathas that invoke the Buddhaguna, Dhammaguna and Sangaguna (virtues of the Triple Gems). 

Luang Na Sai Yut, a Buddhist monk at Wat Sakae, whom Luang Pu Doo often asked to teach people who came to the temple to practice meditation, ever once mentioned that Luang Pu Si (See) of Wat Sakae was very perceptive in this matter. 

As long as you brought a sacred object to him, he would be able to tell which katha the original master used to consecrate this amulet. 

Luang Pu Si was a monk who lived at Wat Sakae and inherited the Phra Phrom wiccha from Ajaan Heng. He was senior to Luang Pu Doo but practiced differently. Nevertheless, Luang Pu Si had very strong powers himself.

One day, a devotee brought an amulet consecrated by Luang Phor Jamnian’s teacher, the revered Golden Mouth Monk Phor Than Klai. He inspected it for several days, but couldn’t figure out what katha Phor Than Klai used to bless this amulet.

In the end, Luang Pu Si came to the conclusion that Phor Than Klai didn’t use any katha or incantation, because he was a Golden Mouth Monk who hardly opened his mouth, but whatever he said would come true. He must have just told the amulet to become holy and thus it was done as he spoke. 

I think Luang Pu Si’s answer was probably correct as Luang Phor Jamnian mentioned that Phor Than Klai taught him how to consecrate amulets using the purity and emptiness of mind.
