Biography of LP Jong



LP Jong (B.E.2415~2508) passed away on the Buddhist important MaKhaBuCha day of at the age of 93. LP Jong and LP Parn of Wat BangNomKho are close friends and respected high Dhamma practices of each other. They were the disciples of LP Soon of Wat BangPlaMoh and LP Paan of Wat PikulSokant. Even LP Parn reached extremely high miraculous knowledges of "Apinya" and "Wipassana", he still often admired LP Jong as a good great monk.

LP Jong was a great donor. Any temple troubled with lacking of Kutis, he would ordered his monk disciples dismantle theirs and brought to the lacking temple. Even thiefs came into his temple to steal somethings that's difficult to get, LP Jong knew that and called them to get it. He gave stuffs to thiefs but never forgot to taught them that stealing monk's stuffs was a great sin. Many thiefs gave up stealing after by his teachings.

LP Parn of Wat BangNomKho admired LP Jong to all his disciples that he was like a gold monk statue, and that a monk of this kind one should never beg anything from him because he would give everything that was begged for. Whenever LP Parn performed any religious ritual at his temple, he would invites LP Jong to join. Once LP Parn urged his close monk disciple to go by a motor boat to invite LP Jong to join a ritual , but LP Jong told the monk to go back in advance and he would go by himself later.

As soon as the monk had come back and reported to LP Parn that LP Jong would come later, LP Parn laughed and pointed to LP Jong who was sitting right there!! How did he come with a short time? It's many miles distance between the two temples, if by walking, it would take a few hours. It was recorded that LP Jong had reached the highest knowledge of "PatiSamPhiThaYan" which covered highest ability to perform miracle of all kinds. Whoever reaches this state will have comprehensive knowledges over all Tri Pitaka automatically and could rush to anywhere in a short time.
