Luangpor Koon’s “Nangmu KeawTon” (Riding Warthog) Amulet – B.E. 2534 (1991)
This sacred batch was blessed in a grand chanting ceremony in B.E. 2534 (1991), presided over by the revered Luangpor Koon Paritsutho, abbot of Wat Ban Rai. The purpose of this creation was to raise funds for the construction of monks’ cottages at Wat Rachasimaram.
 
The name “Nangmu KeawTon” carries deep symbolic meaning rooted in Thai language and culture. In colloquial Thai, the word “Mu” (หมู) or "pig" is often used metaphorically to describe something easy, much like the English expression “easy as pie.” However, “Mu KeawTon” (หมูเขี้ยวตัน), which translates to “Warthog with Solid Fangs,” represents the exact opposite—something deceptively difficult or unexpectedly formidable. In Muay Thai, for instance, a fighter initially perceived as weak (“Mu”) may reveal surprising strength and endurance—transforming into a “Mu KeawTon”, or a “tough opponent with unbreakable grit,” akin to being “tough as nails.”
 
This amulet honors Luangpor Koon’s zodiac birth year and was created as a powerful charm for protection—believed to ward off evil spirits, illness, and misfortune.
 
Composition and Design:
Crafted from sacred Ittijay holy powder, the front of the amulet depicts Luangpor Koon seated in a blessing posture, holding a rosary while riding a fearsome warthog with prominent fangs. Beneath this image is the inscription of his name in Thai script. The reverse side features a sacred yant (mantra) and identifying details of the batch, further enhancing its spiritual potency.
 
 
Biography of Luang Phor Koon
Luang Phor Koon was born on October 4, 1923 (B.E. 2466). At the age of 21, he was ordained as a Buddhist monk on May 5, 1944 (B.E. 2487) at Wat Thanon Hak Yai. His preceptor was Phra Kru Wichan Dtigit, while his principal Dhamma instructor was Phra Kru Atigahn Trong Suk. Upon ordination, he received the monastic name "Paritsuttoh."
 
During his early monastic years, Luang Phor Koon spent his summer retreat at Wat Nong Pho, where he studied Dhamma, Samadhi (meditative concentration), and Wicha (mystical practices) under the esteemed Luang Phor Daeng. After years of disciplined study, he continued his spiritual training under Luang Phor Khang, focusing deeply on both Buddhist teachings and esoteric knowledge over a span of three years.
 
Following this formative period, Luang Phor Koon embarked on a solitary Tudong pilgrimage through the remote jungles of Laos and Cambodia. For nearly a decade, he lived in austere conditions, practicing meditation and deepening his spiritual insight in alignment with the ascetic forest monk tradition.
 
Upon returning to Thailand, Luang Phor Koon took residence at Wat Ban Rai in Nakhon Ratchasima province. At the time, the temple was in a state of disrepair, consisting of only a single old sala, bot, and kuti. He expressed his desire to restore the temple and approached the abbot with a proposal. When asked how much funding would be required, he estimated a need of 3 to 4 million baht. The abbot, unable to assist financially, told him it was beyond his means.
 
Undeterred, Luang Phor Koon turned to the local community and his lay followers for support. Through collective effort and generosity, nearly 2 million baht was raised, allowing for the successful restoration of Wat Ban Rai. Over the years, he continued his philanthropic efforts, overseeing the construction of numerous schools, temples, and hospitals throughout the Nakhon Ratchasima region.
 
Luang Phor Koon became especially renowned for his mastery of Wicha, particularly the sacred ritual of embedding takrut (protective scrolls) beneath the skin of devotees. These takrut were believed to offer protection from harm, weaponry (Kong Grapan), and to invoke Metta (loving-kindness). In his later years, due to declining health, he ceased performing the ritual but continued to meet and bless visitors who came to pay their respects at Wat Ban Rai.
 
Luang Phor Koon passed away peacefully on May 16, 2015 (B.E. 2558) at the age of 91. His legacy lives on not only through his charitable works but also through the enduring faith and devotion he inspired in countless followers.
