Daeng ordained the monkhood in B.E.2441 and was a close disciple of LP Plian,
the then Abbot of Wat Kao Ban Dai-it. After LP Plian passed away in B.E.2461,
LP Daeng was learning Dhamma and magical khowledge with LP Chui of Wat
Kongkaram, the greatest Guru of PetchBuri province.
In WWII, LP Daeng created and presented his PhaYants (magic
clothes) and Takruts to Soldiers and people. When the Japanese troop landing in
PraChuabKiriKhan Province which borders with Petchburi, a small group of
soldiers and patriotic people fighted fearlessly. They were brave and unharmed
due to LP Daeng's amulets.

jumped over the seas to Hong Kong. Many Hong Konger film stars and
celebrities including a lot of people popularly weared LP Daeng medals.

years of his monkhood.
LP Daeng's Amuletic Miracles
The amulets help save many lives from road accidents. I received an impressive knowledge from corpse pickers that in the long years up until now they found no LP Daeng' Somdej wearers died on the road by car accidents.
Another intereting story was an exciting event happened to a police parachutist of Narasuan camp at Hua Hin, PrachuabKirikhan Province, who jumped from a plane, his main and reserved parachutes were misfunctioned. He rapidly dived from the sky but the unexpectedly miraculous wind blew him far away, then he splashed down in the swamp. He wore only a LP Daeng's Somdej.
Apart from that Petchburi in the past few decades was the bloodshed city, they used guns to judge conflicts. Many were gunned down by orders from the big bosses. LP Daeng Somdej and his B.E.2503 first Batch medal miraculously performed like bullet-proved jacket, the bullet could not get through flesh and bone. Many events and news widely spreaded out and went high up the sky rushing to Hong Kong. Hong Konger amulet enthusiasts and collectors fullheartedly paid a huge sum of money in exchange for LP Daeng's Somdej and medal. Many of movie giant Shaw's men stars at that time wore LP Daeng amulets on their necks.
Has this amulet Metta and Fortune properties ?
The answer is yes because the amulet texture was composed of Metta & Fortune powder from the top great amulets: ground broken amulets of Somedej Wat Rakang, Somdej BangKhun- Phrom. Wat Sampluen, Wat Indraviharn, Wat Ngern Klongtoey, etc. And LP Daeng blessed the amulets covering all properties.
