LP THUAD
Luang Phor Tuad is mentioned in the early regional histories of southern Thailand, but his life is mainly preserved in oral traditions. Stories of the famous monk were passed on by word of mouth for centuries. As a result, it is a mixture of Buddhist elements: early signs, alleged magic, travel, study, meditation, and eventual “sainthood.”
Many people in Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia believe that amulets created in Luang Phor Tuad image hold great protective powers granting safety in times of distress, especially saving the lives of believers from seemingly fatal automobile accidents. Phra Archan Tim Dharmataro, abbot of Wat Changhai is the first creator of Luang Phor Tuad amulets.
The legend of a high priest, Luang Phor Tuad (LP Tuad) or Somdej Phako was originated from Kingdom of Ayutthaya period (it was Thailand capital that existed from 1350 to 1767) and have lived during the reign of King Maha Dhammaraja, in the mid-sixteenth century; his exact date of birth is not known. There is no document evidence available to prove, just recounted from ancestors in his holiness. This information was composed to be LP Tuad biography.
More than three hundred years ago, there lives a very famous priest by name LP Tuad. According to folk tales, LP Tuad was born in the 4th lunar month on the year of the dragon, which may be born in 1582 (B.E. 2125) “Buddhist Era” and some said he was born in the year of the Ox in 1588 (B.E. 2131). However, his period of birth can be assumed to be during the Reign of King Maha Dhammaraja which may be B.E. 2125 (1582) or B.E. 2131 (1588). His parent gave birth to him at the ages of 40’s, at Sathing Phra District, Songkhla Province, Southern Thailand. LP Tuad was named “Phu” when he is born. Many centuries ago, his ancestors came from China and settled down in Singora, Thailand.
LP Tuad parents, Nai Hu and his wife Mae Chan, a very poor couple, but they maintained a good and virtuous moral. They often went to the temple on the religious day doing merit and attended the preaching regularly. They were faithful to the Buddha. They stayed in a hut near an old temple, called Wat “Temple” Khokosan. They were employed by a rich family named Phan as farmers just to make a living. Phan had a large number of workers and slaves.
There is a day which was in the harvest time; Phan urged all his workers, slaves to reap his rice in the paddy-field. Among these was Mae Chan who just gave birth was also asked to reap the rice without excuses, Eventually, Mae Chan also agreed to do so.
She brought her newborn baby along with her, while she was to work in the field; she put her baby sleeping in the cradle by hanging a cloth between two big shady trees near the paddy field. When its time to breast-feed the baby. She walked towards and saw a large snake curled around the child. She asked for help. In distress she cried out to her husband who rushed over to assist the infant along with all other laborers’.
To everyone's surprise the child remained unharmed, but his mother was fearful of the outcome and instinctively recalled an old traditional belief that this snake might be the god created vision. Finally, she realized and prayed to the snake by offering flowers and rice cake for the safety of their son, with her sincere praying the snake spit out a snake pearl on the baby’s and left away. It’s something like a clear crystal ball. All the peoples are very curious and gathered round to have a view. When Phan saw the clear snake pearl, he became greedy and appealed that snake pearl from Mae Chan by offering good price in return. Initially, Mae Chan disagreed because the snake pearl belonged to her son, but Phan was appealing her continually. Moreover, Phan increase his offered with Mae Chan for the exchange of the snake pearl.
Eventually, Mae Chan agreed respectfully with Phan and presented the snake pearl to him. Phan was very happy with the snake pearl back home. Unfortunately after three days, all members in his family suddenly fell ill, while he himself used to dream about bad omen each time when he slept. Phan than consulted a medium and was told that he had owned something that doesn’t belong to him. Phan was scared and returned the snake pearl to Mae Chan. After than, the snake pearl remained in the safe possession of LP Tuad parents until LP Tuad was sufficiency to take care by himself. On this day, the snake pearl is remained and displayed for viewing at Wat Phra Kho.
Wat Ratchapraditsathan or better known as Wat Phra Kho is an ancient temple in Sathing Phra District, Songkhla, Thailand. It was built when Ayuthaya was the capital city of Thailand; Wat Phra Kho was built in 1514, situated approximately some 83 kilometers from Hatyai. This temple also supports education for the poor students in the surrounding areas.
The King of Sri Lanka sent seven Brahmins and his ambassador’s to Ayutthaya to meet the King of Thailand to test the achievements of the monk’s in their country. They brought with them 84,000 pieces of small golden alphabet words of Buddhist sutras in 12 alms bowls. These combination alphabet words were to be arranged into a certain sutra within seven days, if the task was accomplished, the King of Sri Lanka would present King of Thailand with 7 boats made of gold. However, should the task be unsuccessful, Thailand would have to surrender its sovereignty (independence) to Sri Lanka. The King of Thailand was doubtful with the opponent and accepts the challenge, and gathered all his country's learned monks to deal with the problem. Many have tried but were not successful.
Invitation notice was made by the King to look for high educated monk or priests who is capable to arrange the sutra within the limited time. On the fourth night the King dreamed of a white elephant whistling shrill sound in the dazzling light. The next morning the king consulted a fortune-teller, and was told that it was a good sign as a sage was likely to appear to solve the problem. The King was uncertain. On the sixth day there is still nobody could arrange the sutra alphabets successfully. It made so concern to the King of Thailand.
On that same day while LP Tuad were out to receive alms in the city, he met a group of peoples talking about that topic, and was brought to know about the consequences that their country are facing problem of the Buddhism sutra puzzles arrangement. It seem that nobody is able to solve the problem, however for the sake of the country. Hereby, LP Tuad would like to try and solve the sutra arrangement in the palace. By his virtues power to safe the land from being colony. Next morning LP Tuad visited the Palace and composed all 84,000 Buddhism sutra alphabets arrangements completely. Thus LP Tuad is well known throughout the country. He was looked upon as a saintly Buddhist monk in Thai history.
Being favorite to the King Maha Dhammaraja with his knowledge and wisdom. LP Tuad had been bestowed upon the Sangha title of `Phra Rajamuni Samikhunuparamajam’ that is the most highest rank ever given to any other monk before in the country. After that LP Tuad is asked to remained in Ayutthaya by the King serves as his monk-hood, and act as an adviser to the King for years, After many years LP Tuad asked for permission from the King to go back to his home town, the King permitted with him and also promise to give all the supports requested by LP Tuad in turns of his virtuous deeds if he needed.
When LP Tuad was back to Wat Phra Kho he found that the temple and the surrounding temple’s and a pagoda call Rattanamahat were also damaged. From there he sent a message to the King requesting his support to rebuild the monastery’s in their area. King Maha Dhammaraja was pleased to respond to LP Tuad needs, and gave full supports to the said monasteries and graciously issued the Royal Degree on Dedication of Land and People of about 250 families nearby Wat Phra Kho as generosity to rebuild and restore the temples in the surrounding area. At present the document was kept in the National Library in Bangkok.
Finally at the age of 20, LP Tuad was appointed officially as an ordained monk. His father passed away when he was 30 years old. LP Tuad had made great progress in his knowledge and realized that studying in Ayutthaya will further and improved more of his studies on Buddhist scriptures. Whereupon he left his mother and went by passenger ship to his destination.
On his safe arrival in Ayutthaya province, LP Tuad remained in a temple outside the city where he continued to study the Buddhist scriptures. (This temple is the present Wat Rachanuwat or Wat Kae in short)
There was a time that the King Watta Khamince of Sri Lanka was jealous over the growing wealth of the Kingdom of Thailand. The King Watta Khamince of Sri Lanka was interested to takeover Ayutthaya to be his colony (country). Instant of making wars to takeover the country, the King of Sri Lanka challenged the Thai King by massed Buddhist alphabets sutra to be arranged in the correct order within seven days.
From Sathing Phra District, LP Tuad took a ship sailing toward north to Ayutthaya province. After setting off, while the ship was sailing nearby Chumphon city, suddenly there was a huge sea waves, and the ship was struck by a violent storms and unable to arrive its destination after been anchored there for several days in the open seas. The ship has run out of provisions shortage including drinking water. The ship owner and the sailors were superstitious and suspecting that the disaster event happened due to the participation of the monk. Therefore, they agreed to disembark him onboard.
While LP Tuad was to get off from the ship, the crew provided him with a row boat to enable for him to head for shore. As he sat in the row boat, he chanted in deep meditation while dipped his left leg into the sea and drew a circle. Suddenly, there was a miraculous thing happened when the seawater changed to drinking water in a small area wide where he’d circled with his feet. Then LP Tuad showed his miracle and asked the sailor to test the water in the area.
The sea water became fresh water, the sailor shouted and asked everybody’s on the ship to collect the water for drinking. When the ship owner saw the miracle super power of LP Tuad, he feared that disaster may be happened to him caused of disembarked the monk. The ship owner invited the LP Tuad back to his ship and apologized for the mistake earlier. Everybody’s on the ship reach their destination safety.
At that time LP Tuad placed his snake pearl at the peak of the Rattanamahat pagoda. After some times, the pagoda had been damaged by thunderclap and caused the snake pearl from falling down. Therefore, the present abbot preserved and remains the snake pearl at Wat Phra Kho where LP Tuad was gaining enlightenment for until then.
LP Tuad had spent his life spreading Dharma for the benefit of the people without impartiality. On his frequent pilgrimages to the forested area, he would often take his long handled umbrella, and this has now become a famous image of the great priest. Lastly, he leaves Wat Phra Kho along with some young novice to preach Dharma and helped people at various places in the South down to Malaysia, Singapore and Sri Lanka, teachings and with practical advice, and helped people at various places. His second permanent residence was at Wat Changhai, Pattani.
As time passed, a Buddhist devotee of a state Governor that came from the south, is a Buddhist believer that have been practically advices by LP Tuad sometimes ago, he wanted to make merit by contribute a temple for the Buddhism countryman as an appreciation to LP Tuad advices and helped, and also as a goodwill, He came to Sathing Phra, Songkhla to look for the holy monk LP Tuad to lead the project.
One evening when he was wandering at the seaside he saw a monk strolled along the beach, he stepped forward to pay respect to the monk, and fortunately it was LP Tuad that he is looking for; and they discussed about building the temple to the final decisions, after that LP Tuad accepted his suggestion and went with him to Pattani. When the temple was completely built, it was named Wat Changhai, and LP Tuad was appointed as an abbot of the temple. Wat Changhai is situated at Naparu, Koppo District, Pattani province.
From that time being, LP Tuad still went back regularly to Wat Phra Kho which was his previous resided place and stays in pure gratitude. However, there is no vehicle at that time; therefore LP Tuad has to travel between these two temples by his walking stick. In between these two temples journey where LP Tuad passes regularly, the country folks built temples along the roadside for LP Tuad to stop-by as he may needs for shelter.
Before the death of LP Tuad, he have informed his disciples that if he passed away one day, he wanted his body to be send back to Wat Changhai in Pattani province for his funeral rites.
