Phra Samaati Sum Sen Luat

Before the Great Guru Luang Phor Niam of Wat Noi, Suphanburi, passed away in B.E.2453, he told Luang Phor  Parn of Wat BangnomKho, ” my son, if I should die and you require additional knowledge in  Dhamma or Visha, please take instruction from Luang Phor Nong, he will take my place.”

Luang Phor Nong himself passed away at the age of 68 in the year B.E.2477. The posture of his body at death was that of respect to Lord Buddha, a reclining attitude with both hands at chest level in prayer

His body remains un-decomposed, just as his teachers body Guru Luang Phor Niam.

LP Nong was both highly respected and revered. He was known for his great Dhamma and charitable works.

LP Nong respected a small Buddha statue in his Kuti. He would ask the Buddha image for advise on every important decision in his life. When he was a young monk, he had wished to construct a Buddha statue, but had some doubts how he may locate an artisan to sculpt the design.

It is said that he consulted with the Buddha image in his kutti, and was subsequently advised to travel to Ayuthaya, where he would meet an old man wearing a white robe. This was the artisan he was seeking.

As instructed he departed for Ayuthaya, whereupon he was to meet the man in white robes offering him food at the roadside. The old man said ‘’Guru, I have heard that you plan to construct a large Buddhist statue and you require a skilled artisan’’
