“Luang Phor Phit – Disciple of the Revered Luang Phu Ngern”
Legacy of Luang Phor Phit, Wat Kha Mang
Luang Pho Phit, a revered monk of Phichit Province, was a devout disciple of Luang Pho Ngern of Wat Bang Khlan. Renowned for his virtue, humility, and spiritual charisma, he left behind a legacy of sacred knowledge and compassion that continues to inspire.
 
Early Life and Ordination
Born on March 14, 1875, in Ban Bang Phian, Phichit, Phit Khaminthakun was the son of Khun Hiran Sombat and Mae Pui. At age 22, he was ordained at Wat Bueng Takhon under the guidance of Phra Khru Thammathatsi Muniwong. Following his ordination, he traveled widely, residing in various temples to study Dhamma, meditation, healing arts, and sacred incantations.
 
Temples of Study
Luang Phor Phit studied at several renowned temples including:
Wat Yai (Phra Phuttha Chinnarat), Phitsanulok
Wat Bang Mun Nak and Wat Huadong, Phichit
Wat Tha Thon, Uttaradit
Wat Wang Prab, Nakhon Sawan (studied healing with Phra Ajahn Sin)
Wat Bang Khlan, Pho Thale (studied Vipassana and magic under Luang Phu Ngern)
He eventually returned to his hometown, bringing his spiritual insight and skills to serve Wat Kha Mang.
 
A Life of Simplicity and Devotion
Luang Pho Phit lived a humble life, never accumulating wealth. Instead, he channeled donations into lasting contributions to Buddhism. He led the construction of five Ubosots (ordination halls):
Wat Kha Mang, Wat Dong Phakham Tai (Mai Khamwan), Wat Bueng Takhon, Wat Samkha, Wat Huadong
He passed away peacefully on October 16, 1945, at age 70, leaving behind a profound spiritual legacy.
 
Stories of Faith and Miracles
“Lost But Found”
Devotees often reported finding lost amulets and photos of Luang Phor Phit unharmed in rice fields—even after fires—after praying for their return. His images were often created with his teacher, Luang Phu Ngern, on the reverse, symbolizing his enduring respect.
 
Invulnerable Takruts
Luang Phor’s Takrut charms became legendary. One tale tells of villagers testing their power by tying them to chickens and shooting—no harm was done. Others tested them by hacking at each other with knives to no effect. These Takruts, now rare, are cherished for their protective power.
 
Sacred Warnings and Blessings
Luang Phor Phit was known for the power of his words. It’s said that being cursed by him would bring misfortune, leading people to revere and never anger him. His blessings, conversely, were believed to offer protection in even the most dangerous situations.
 
Miraculous Survival
Numerous stories recount devotees surviving deadly accidents with no injuries—car wrecks, falls—only to be found carrying Luang Phor Phit’s amulet or photo.
 
The Magic Eyes
During his cremation, two of Luang Phor’s eyes were found unburned—one retrieved by the abbot, the other by a woman named Nang Phop. This miraculous occurrence led to the belief in Luang Pho’s “magic eyes,” which were later enshrined in a life-sized statue at Wat Kha Mang.
 
The Living Statue
The statue of Luang Phor Phit, crafted with astonishing likeness, was once kept inside the chapel. During a relocation ceremony, a visitor’s camera flash repeatedly failed until he respectfully requested permission from the monk. Once granted, the flash worked, reinforcing the belief in Luang Pho’s lingering presence and spiritual power.
