Brief Biography of Luang Phoo Tim,Wat Lahanrai
Luang Phoo Tim was born in Ban Hua Tunnttabuon,
Tambon Laharn, Ampher Bannkaii, Jungwat Rayong on the 16th June BE
2422 in the year of the Rabbit. He was named Tim, and his family name
was Ngamsii. At the age of 17 his father, Kheh, sent to Tan Phor Singh
to study, returning home at the age of 19 and was ordained as a monk
at Wat Thatkaow on the 7th June BE 2499. He was ordained by Phrakru
Kaow, Archan Singh and Archan Kehh and was given the religious name of
Issaliko. After spending a year in Wat Thatkaow, he retreated in the
forest for a period of three years, after which he went to Wat
Narmathom in Chengwat Chonburi for two years. Luang Phor Tim learned
Wijja (magic) with Ajahan Lod, Ajahn Lem and Ajahn Saii. He also
studied with his Uncle Luang Phor Song Thao of Wat Kongchin. It was
from this uncle that Luang phor Tim inherited a book of Wicha and
Arkom. Luang Phor Tim became the Abbot of Wat Lahanrai where he was a
strict and diligent practioner of the Dhamma. He was known to be a
very good monk and possessed few worldly materials. In the hut where
he stayed, he only had a pillow and a mat with no electricity. He
lived a simple life. He passed away on the 18th October BE 2518 having

Amulets of LP Tim
* Phra Khun Paen Guman Plaai* is one of the most famous amulets
created by Luang Phor Tim of Wat Lahanarai. His amulets are very
popular and expensive, but for good reason.
A popular account has been
well publicized around the internet. This is an updated and somewhat
more accurate version. Phra Khun Paen Pong Plaai Guman of LP Tim
Isarigo, a senior monk of Wat Lahanrai, Rayong province, is respected
as one of the most sacred amulets consecrated in modern times.
A
genuine Phra Khun Paen Guman Plaai amulet is probably the hardest to
find, and fakes abound everywhere. This amulet is well proven in Metta
Mahaniyon, Metta Mahasaneh, business success etc.
The actual methods
used to create this amulet follow the ancient traditional ways. Only a
few guru monks are known this century to be able to create such an
amulet, namely Luang Phoo Tim himself, and Luang Phor Tae of Wat Sahm Ngam.
The most popular series "the first block") containing both Pim Yai
and Pim Lek, some with sacred takruts and others without.
It is
generally believed that LP Tim had asked a disciple to make the
amulets for him and on a daily basis he would bring newly made amulets
to the temple and then LP Tim would gradually recite the sacred spell
for each and every amulet. Indeed it was recorded that 30-40 of the
Pim Yai amulets and around 100-200 of the Pim Lek amulets were brought
to him daily.
The disciple responsible for making the amulets was
known to have stated that only a single mould was created for both the
Pim Lek and The Pim Yai amulets. LP Tim did not make further moulds
and as such it's highly likely that only a single series of these
amulets were ever created. Many dealers may claim to possess amulets
that have originated from different series, but be warned you are most
likely being deceived.
One of the reasons that such a low quantity of
these amulets were produced was no doubt due to the difficulty and
danger associated in production.
As stated previously it was well
known amongst experts of the black magic sciences that only a few
monks possessed the ancient knowledge required to produce such an
amulet.
Mr. Lap Choicharoen If lesser persons attempted such a process
it is highly likely that they would themselves become possessed with
demonic spirits or harmed in some way
. Luang Phor Tae of Wat Sam Nagm
was the only other living monk who possessed the knowledge.
