Nonthaburi - Wat Samphan Soon - LP Eim

If Wat Rakhang is famous for Phra Somdejs, this temple is famous for Phra Pidta.

LP Eim was born during the reign of King Rama II in 2359.  He ordained at Wat Bor at the age of 22 and moving shortly after to Wat Kalayanamit.  LP Eim learned Dharma and wiccha for seven years prior to moving again to Wat Prayoonwongsawas.  In 2396, LP Eim was invited by locals to take up position of Abbot at Wat Saphan Sung. LP Eim created Phra Pitda and Takrut amulets for the first time as he was required to make renovations and repair to the temple. Both of these amulets which LP Eim created were listed at the Phra Pitda Nur Phong and Kreung Raang Benjapakee.  LP Eim passed away in BE2439.

LP Wa, 103 years old and very alert and strong.  Chatty monk that makes great Pidta amulets using special wood.
