- Luang Pu Si, Wat Sakae, Uthai District, Ayutthaya Province. He was in Wat Sakae as an ordinary temple boy, without any ecclesiastical title. Luang Pu was born on Sunday, the eighth month, the Year of the Goat, 2438 B.E. His father's name was Kuan, his mother's name was Lek, original surname was Bamrungkit. He was born in Krachiu Subdistrict, Uthai District, Ayutthaya Province. He had 6 siblings, 3 boys and 3 girls. Luang Pu Si was the oldest. When he was 12 years old, he was ordained as a novice at Wat Rat Burana (Wat Lieb), Bangkok. He studied Thai language and Mulakajjaya, taught by Phra Ajahn Prong and Phra Ajahn Yang. Samanera Si was diligent and devoted himself to his studies with determination. Therefore, he was loved by his teachers. When he was old enough to be ordained as a monk, Samanera Si returned to his hometown. He was ordained at Wat Sakae by Luang Por Klan Thammachote of Wat Phra Yatikaram as his preceptor, Luang Por Dae of Wat Sakae as his kammavajacariya, and Luang Por Phut of Wat Sakae as his anusavanacariya. He received the religious name Phinthasuwan. After his ordination, he resided at Wat Sakae throughout the Buddhist Lent as an ordinary temple boy from 1915 to 1983, a total of 66 years. When he was a new monk, Luang Pu Si was very interested in occult science, incantations, and Buddhist magic. He therefore traveled to study and learn from Luang Por Klan of Wat Phra Yatikaram, a famous monk at that time. In addition, Luang Por Klan also gave him a book of magic spells and various yantra, which were ancient palm-leaf manuscripts, each beautifully covered in gold and lacquer. It was said that they belonged to Wat Pradu Rongtham, which had been passed down during the Ayutthaya period. With this knowledge and ability, he joined hands with Ajarn Heng Praiwan, a layman. The expert in occult knowledge created the four-faced Brahma amulet by Ajarn Heng, who was 2-3 years older than Luang Pu Si and passed away in 1960. He had been ordained twice before, the last time with Luang Pho Klan of Wat Phra Yat as well, so it can be considered that they had the same teacher. Ajarn Heng was ordained and then disrobed to become a layman. When he created the Brahma amulet with Luang Pu Si, he had also disrobed. However, he came to live in a large boat, tied to the bank of the canal in front of Wat Sakae. In the boat, there were equipment for creating amulets. Luang Pu Si highly respected Ajarn Heng for his expertise in occult science and said that Ajarn Heng was also skilled in drawing, Thai music, and even cooking. The first creation of the four-faced Brahma amulet was around 1937 during World War II, initiated by Ajarn Heng. After that, other sacred objects were created, such as rings, cloths, amulets, coins, and statues. In creating each batch of sacred objects, Luang Pu did not invest himself. Each time amulets were created, they were created by disciples who asked for permission from him. When permission was granted, they were created and given to Luang Pu to bless. Luang Pu would bless them very carefully and meticulously. Whenever Luang Pu Si blessed amulets and sacred objects, he would do it until he was confident and then tell them to use them. What was very special was that every single piece of his amulets had to be inscribed with a steel inscription. The steel used to inscribe them had to be something that he used regularly. Those who created Luang Pu’s amulets would receive some of the items back and give some to Luang Pu to give to those who wanted them. Luang Pu Si passed away on January 30, 1983 due to old age.
