The amulet, created to commemorate the inauguration of a school building, embodies the monk's teachings on virtue, compassion, and spiritual mindfulness. It serves as a tangible connection to Jao Khun Nor's profound impact on Thai society and the enduring legacy he left behind.
Jao Khun Nor was born on the 5th february 2440 BE, close to the temple of Wat Somanas Voraviharn in Bangkok with Somdej Pra Putta Kosajarn (Luang Por Jaroen) as his Upachaya. . He Ordained into the Buddhist sangha in the Year 2468 BE, and because Extremely revered for his Immense Patience, Diligent Efforts, and Merciful Personality. His selflessness was highly noticeable, and his trajectory led him to become one of the most highly revered and respected Monks in the whole Nation, both by Devotees, and amongst his Peers in the Sangha.
His Merits were often Lauded by other Great Monks of the Time, whose admiration for Jao Khun Nor was often publicly stated. The presence of the Great Masters in his amulet Blessings is further proof of how the other Great Monks of the Sangha respected the Great Jao Khun Nor.
Jao Khun Nor died in the year 2514 BE at the age of 74, after 56 years of Diligent Service as an Ordained Monk. He passed away after suffering a long time from a terrible cancer on his neck, which he suffered throughout his final time, but which disappeared just before his death, and which was an extremely large protuberance with a very painful open wound.
But Tan Jao Khun Nor still went to every morning and evening prayer chanting of the Uposadha Chapel and would sit and give Dhamma sermons as usual, and never once showed that he was in pain in front of the Devotees, which is unimaginable to any normal Human Being.
Above, a picture of the Great Monk Jao Khun Nor, during the time he suffered with extreme throat cancer, but remained practicing as usual without fail, maintaining complete diligence, without taking a rest. The open wound of the Cancer disappeared before his death, despite the fact that he refused any special treatment apart from letting Dr. paibun clean it regularly (after which he would always give blessings to everybody chanting the Chinabanjara Kata). He said 'The wound came by itself, and so, it should also leave by itself.
Before he passed away, he performed the blessing and empowerment of sacred earths and gravels, which he called 'Pra Por Mae Torani Bpatawi Dhatu' which means 'Mother and Father Dharani Earth Mother Elemental Relics', which are considered extremely powerful. He was reputed to say to Devotees that if they were to remember him, they should think of him by his Dhamma name of 'Tammawidtago', which means to think of the Dhamma, or 'Dtreuk Therng Pra Tam'.
This also means to think of the Dhamma (His birth Name was 'Dtreuk'). If we analyse this, we can see that he was leading his devotees to think of the Triple Gem and always be Mindful of it, which is of course the best form of spiritual 'self protection' through mindful practice of Dhamma, and Avoidance of Wrongdoing.
