The ninth abbot of Wat Khao Orr is Ajarn Thong Tao. Ajarn Thong Tao was living in the same era as Somdej Toh. There was no information about Ajarn Tong Tao’s date of birth and background as it was not recorded. But what we do know is That before Ajarn Tong Tao was ordained, he had an illness. During that period of time, he prayed to Buddha and said that if he could recover, he would spend his remaining life dedicated to buddhism.

Shortly after that, he recovered. Afterward, he was ordained as a monk and stayed at Wat Khao Orr where he would study magic and mediation under the guidance of Ajarn Tong. As Ajarn Tong was the abbot of Wat Khao Orr.

In fact, Ajarn Tong Tao also learned mediation and magic from an unknown monk. This has been reported by the villagers as the villagers would call the unknown monk “Phra Hoh Dai”. The meaning of “Phra Hoh Dai” means that the monk is able to fly. During every Buddha day, the unknown monk will come to the cave of Wat Khao Orr to meditate. And only on Buddha’s day that Ajarn Tong Tao would go into the cave to learn from this unknown monk. The monk would teach Ajarn Thong Tao many magic and deep meditation.

Ajarn Tong Tao was also well-known for his mind reading. There was an incident reported that once a young man went to Wat Khao Orr with a doubtful mind that Ajarn Tong Tao was a guru monk. Within a distance, Ajarn Tong Tao spoke to the local that there was a young male visitor that wanted to test his “power”. After the local told the young man about this the young man freaked out.

There is also another occasion when by there was a ceremony and the rain started to fall, upon seeing this Ajarn Tong Tao threw his rosary into the sky. The rosary disappeared and the rain stopped.   After the blessing ceremony was done, Ajarn Tong Tao just simply raised his hands and the rosary fell into his arm.

It is also worth mentioning that Ajarn Tong Tao had a strain of hair on his head whereby it cannot be cut by the barber no matter what.   One day a devotee pleaded for this hair and Ajarn Tong Tao recited a Katha and cut the hair out for the devotee.

Ajarn Tong Tao was a 3 disciples as well. They are Ajarn Yied (who was the teacher of Ajarn Chum and Ajarn Kong Wat Ban Suan), Ajarn Pan (the next abbot of Wat Khao Orr after Ajarn Tong Tao passed on) and Ajarn Nam Wat Don Sala.

Ajarn Tong Tao passed away in the year BE 2470 at the age of 78.

The last ninth host of Wat Khao Orr in the name of ” Tong ” , the French name is Pagu Sangka Wichai Tabangpu, abbreviated as Ajarn Tong Tao. Master Ajahn Duo is a generation of eminent monks at the same time . Ajarn Tong Tao ‘s life experience and experience of becoming a monk are not clearly recorded, only that Ajarn Tong Tao suffered a serious illness before he became a monk . When it was very critical, he prayed to the Buddha and said : If he can recover, he will dedicate himself to the Buddha for the rest of his life as a monk and follow the Buddha’s wisdom. Sure enough, he recovered from his illness soon after, and his family chose an auspicious day for him to be a monk. He lived in Wat Khao Orr , and learned magic and meditation from the abbot at that time .

Why are Ajarn Tong Tao ‘s spells so powerful? It turned out that Ajarn Tong Tao had studied with an unknown monk. The villagers called the monk ” Phra Hoh Dai ” ( Phra Hoh Dai ) . Ajarn Tong Tao practiced meditation in a cave in the mountains, and the nearby villagers often witnessed the traces of this Yi Zhong . On Buddha’s day, Ajarn Tong Tao would go into the cave to practice the Dharma with this wonderful monk, and learn many spells and profound meditation methods . Ajarn Tong Tao also created many dharmas and laws by himself, which has opened a brilliant page of Wat Khao Orr since then .

Since Ajarn Tong Tao took over as the ninth abbot of the temple, he began to accept disciples. Many famous families sent their sons here to learn various spells. After learning spells in Wat Khao Orr , they have the ability to defend the country’s territory and homes. The ability . And the most basic spell of Wat Khao Orr is to practice the body of gold and steel that is invulnerable .

Because the laws of the society were very loose at that time, anyone could own guns at any time, and once conflicts or frictions occurred, they would use knives and guns to solve the problem . Therefore, if you want to learn the law at that time, you must first practice the method of invulnerability . Wat Khao Orr ‘s invulnerability If Famen is recognized as the second in Thailand, no one will dare to recognize it as the first .

Ajarn Tong Tao ‘s teaching of invulnerability to swords and guns is top-notch . Take Ajarn Tong Tao as an analogy . Ajarn Tong Tao has a bunch of white hair on his head. Every month when he needs to shave his hair, he always shaves this small amount. The white hair is not shaved, it’s really funny to see . This small group of white hair is neither long nor short, but grows in the center of the head . In fact, this group of white hair has a different inside story . Tong Tao ‘s eldest apprentice handles the knife . But every time he shaves his white hair, the sharp razor keeps shaving .

A senior believer once asked Ajarn Tong Tao for this lock of white hair. Ajarn Tong Tao recited a short mantra, then rubbed his hair with his palm, and then ordered his disciple to shave it off . This is The apprentice successfully shaved off the white hair for the first time . Ajarn Tong Tao distributed the hair to many disciples. Everyone felt like a treasure and offered it on the Buddha table. It is said that it has the function of fire prevention and thief prevention .

Ajarn Tong Tao is also good at ancient herbal treatments, especially insanity and all the aftereffects of falling spells . It is well known that Ajarn Tong Tao has strong magic power, so many believers come to worship Ajarn Tong Tao. Tong Tao is the teacher .

To enter the gate of Wat Khao Orr , you need to pass a test of three to four steps . First, you need to pass an ordinary blessing ceremony, which is to drink a special cup of one hundred and eight herbal water in order. Drink this herbal water . , there will be different reactions . If you drink it and your face turns red, it means that the apprentice has chanted and practiced . This herbal water has the effect of multiplying the practice . And some people vomit after drinking, why do they have What about this reaction? It turns out that this medicinal herb can remove the toxins in the rib and moon through water, so the phenomenon of vomiting occurs . In addition, it can still expel the evil spirits attached to the body or the leftovers such as the head of the human body . Dharma can only be given after being completely cleansed .

Then comes the medicinal herb soaking ceremony . First, put the stem tips of 108 kinds of medicinal herbs in a large pool, and then fill it with sutra water . The prospective disciples only wear a sand cage and soak in the pool . It looks very simple, completely It doesn’t take much effort . If you have this kind of thinking, you are wrong .

First of all, you have to soak in the pool for at least eight hours, during which you can come up to take a break and eat, and then you have to go back to the pool to soak . If you repeat this, it will take seven days to complete the process. What’s more? The stems immersed in the pool Herbs, etc. have sharp thorns, which can scratch the skin of the person immersed in the menstrual water . The menstrual medicine penetrates from the wound into the inner layer of the skin, causing the body to absorb enough menstrual water .

After completing the sacred ceremony of invading menstrual water, the ceremony of eating black glutinous rice will be carried out . First, prepare the black glutinous rice, and then put it into a tin pot hung on a tripod. Water, cook it into black glutinous rice . All the firewood for cooking must be written with scriptures and mantras . And when cooking on fire, scriptures and mantras must be blessed all the time . After the black glutinous rice is cooked, a feeding ceremony will be held .

First of all, the apprentice has to sit on a piece of tiger skin, with his feet bent on an iron branch, and his hands grasp the toes . Then the master puts a piece of bear skin on the apprentice’s head, and while holding a mantra, he pours out a small piece of black glutinous rice. The meal is stuffed into the mouth of the apprentice, and it takes three times in total to complete the ceremony .

This ceremony can only be performed in a cave or in the Daxiong Hall . During the ceremony, stepping on iron means being as strong as iron, sitting on a tiger’s skin means being like a tiger, and covering a bear’s skin means being as resistant as a bear . After these three ceremonies, it can become a hundred poisonous Invasion and invulnerability, his body is also very strong, and he once lived a hundred years .

When the above three ceremonies are completed, there will be a knife trial ceremony . The mage will use a sharp knife to cut and cut the throat, and even assign each person a large knife to cut himself to test the method . Then there are sesame oil blocks and thorns. Rune tattoos, even implanting Tagu runes into the arms and other rituals, but these are all chosen according to each person’s wishes . After completion, the disciples can choose the magic method they are good at to practice .

Ajarn Tong Tao once passed down many teachings to his disciples . There are only three disciples who actually obtained his true teachings, that is , Ajarn Yied of Wat Don Sala , and Ajarn Pan who succeeded Ajarn Tong Tao as the abbot of the temple in the end. Ajarn Nam, who became a monk, learned magic from Ajarn Tong Tao for five years and returned to lay life.

In the later period, Ajarn Tong Tao was good at casting the Tagu talisman tube, the Mimo Dharma knife and the Bidou Mask Buddha . Ajarn Tong Tao ‘s mana is boundless . Once, when he held the blessing ceremony of the amulet in the open air , it suddenly rained heavily . At that time, as long as it rained, it would destroy the entire puja . At this time , Ajarn Tong Tao walked to the puja venue without saying a word, Xue Liu Dixiao Jun walked to the Zhao Yunzeng venue without a word, and put the bead chain to the sky. After throwing it, the bead chain disappeared mysteriously . Then the thick dark clouds drifted away slowly, revealing the bright sunshine . After the end of the puja, Ajarn Tong Tao walked back to the place just now, stretched out his hand to the sky, and saw that The bead chain fell from the sky and hung on Ajatn Tong Tao ‘s hand . After a while, it rained heavily. When Ajarn Tong Tao was alive, he left many holy relics, which are still talked about by believers. .

He was 78 years old when Ajarn Tong Tao passed away in BE 2470 .
