Short introduction of famous Lp Koon
Luang Po Koon Parisutto was born on Thursday, 4th October B.E.2466 (A.D.1923). He was raised in a well-off family but both his parents passed away when L.P. Koon was still young.
Thereafter all his siblings with L.P. Koon being the youngest, all stayed with their grandfather. His grandfather was an influential person and very well-known in the province of Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat).
He was also known to possess Wichah (magic power) but unfortunately many people were afraid of him. Likewise, when L.P. Koon was a young boy, he also possessed some spiritual power.
There was once a man in the village he was staying with his grandfather being possessed by a spirit and had brought fear to everyone.
The brave young boy picked up a wooden stick and hit it on the possessed man’s head and got rid of the evil spirit. Everyone in the village became familiar to this young boy’s ability.
The young L.P. Koon was taught Khmer character by his grandfather at a very young age. He is a very diligent boy and likes to study and write all those characters.
These Khmer characters are very useful for magic incantation and furthermore it is also a form of village education during those days.
When the young L.P. Koon turned 7 years old, his grandfather brought him to study Thai and Pali under Ajahn Cheum, Ajahn Saai and Phra Ajahn Lee in a temple nearby his village.
