Luang Phor Yongyut (Lp Yongyut) Wat Khao Mai Daeng, Chongburi
Early Life and Ordination
Luang Phor Yongyut Thammakosalo (พระครูธรรมกิจโกศล) was born in the early 20th century in Thailand. From a young age, he exhibited a deep sense of spiritual awareness and an interest in Buddhism. His family, devout Buddhists themselves, supported his journey into the monkhood.
He was ordained as a Buddhist monk and began his spiritual studies under several highly respected teachers in the central and eastern regions of Thailand. Among them was Luang Phor Lim of Wat Sai Tai, Nakhon Sawan, a respected monk known for his practice in Vipassana (insight meditation) and sacred science (Saiyasat).
Discipleship and Spiritual Training
Luang Phor Yongyut was a distinguished disciple in the lineage of Wat Pradu Songtham, a temple known for producing many great teachers. He trained under Kru Jaab Suwan, a renowned laymaster in white robes who specialized in meditation and esoteric practices.
This lineage also includes famous monks such as:
-
Luang Phor Tiam (Wat Kasatrathirat)
-
Luang Phor Taen (Wat Thammasen)
-
Luang Phor Salak (Wat Pradu Songtham)
His close association with these teachers helped him develop deep knowledge in Dhamma, meditation, and sacred amulet creation. Notably, he was a contemporary and friend of Luang Phor Parn (Wat Bang Nom Ko), and is said to have once healed him from black magic affliction using consecrated holy water.
Abbotship of Wat Khao Mai Daeng
Luang Phor Yongyut later became the abbot of Wat Khao Mai Daeng (วัดเขาไม้แดง) in Chonburi Province, a temple that under his leadership transformed into a revered spiritual hub.
He maintained a strict discipline, focused on teaching meditation (Kammatthana), and preserved ancient Buddhist knowledge. He was especially respected for his humility, silent power, and simple lifestyle.
Sacred Amulets and Ceremonial Contributions
Luang Phor Yongyut is best remembered for his creation of powerful Khun Paen amulets, particularly the Phra Khun Paen Sakod Thap (B.E. 2525). This amulet was cast during a lunar eclipse, in line with ancient Thai magical texts that prescribe specific timings for enhancing Metta Mahaniyom (loving-kindness), Maha Saneh (charm), and Choke Larp (fortune).
These amulets were mixed with sacred materials from older batches, including Phong Puttakhun, herbal powders, and temple soils, and reportedly attracted supernatural events — such as mating snakes during the empowerment ritual — which were seen as omens of the amulet’s effectiveness.
He was also involved in major consecration ceremonies that drew attention from national and regional devotees.
Legacy and Influence
Luang Phor Yongyut is recognized as one of the foremost spiritual masters of Eastern Thailand. His teachings, amulets, and meditative influence have continued to inspire both practitioners and collectors. His sacred objects are highly sought after for their authenticity, spiritual power, and proven efficacy.
Despite his passing (exact date currently unconfirmed), his influence remains embedded in the Thai Buddhist community, particularly through the legacy of his disciples and the continued reverence of Wat Khao Mai Daeng.
