Grandfather Yaem of Takhian Temple

Wat Takhian, most people probably think of “Wat Takhian Floating Market”, but let’s focus on the monk who developed the temple until it became Wat Takhian today. Luang Pu Yaem is considered the legendary owner of the dog neck amulet, a famous monk of Nonthaburi Province. Because he was a person who had great compassion for all animals. The animal he loved the most was the dog. This incident occurred when he made amulets and tied them around the necks of every dog ​​in the temple to protect them from being aggressive and bullied. Actually, it was called a dog neck amulet, but then people came and took the dogs to worship until they were all gone. The amulets he made to distribute were initially Takrut Tone, distributed to his disciples and relatives and devotees on important occasions. Whenever he gave a sermon, the relatives and devotees who were the first to receive the sermon would receive the gold amulet and the silver amulet in order. As for the reason for making the tiger skin amulet, for many years he did not make amulets, but many disciples and devotees asked and wanted to have his amulets to worship. So he made a tiger skin amulet, which was a tiger skin that a wealthy disciple brought to offer. Luang Pu said that the tiger skin amulet would not be easily copied like the metal sheet amulet, which could not be unrolled to see the yantra inside. Luang Pu also said that tigers are animals with great power and charisma. If they are made into amulets, they will be outstanding in terms of great power and invulnerability. The unique characteristic of all of Luang Pu Yaem's amulets is that he inscribed the Maha Bao yantra, which is a teacher yantra, which he learned from Luang Pho Sai of Wat Nong Song Hong, another inheritor of the magical knowledge of Luang Pu Suk of Wat Pak Khlong Makham Thao. He would inscribe the amulets every Thursday. When he was done, he would roll the amulets with a spell to accompany them, and then charge them until they became powerful. He said that this is the way it should be for them to be usable. You can take them and try them out. Guns are guns, knives are knives, I guarantee they won't eat your flesh or blood. He said that the tiger skin amulets also have a lot of mercy, not just in terms of great power. He always joked that go ask the kids what they want to see when they go to Khao Din. Most of the children would answer that they were going to see tigers. No matter how fierce the tiger is, everyone wants to see it. This is because tigers have great mercy and popularity. Everyone wants to see them. It is considered a valuable amulet that is extremely difficult to find. Before Luang Pu gave it to him, Luang Pu also stressed that “If anyone wants to shoot, let them shoot. The gun will explode. Come on, pang!” This made the recipients’ hair stand on end. When talking about the dog-neck amulet, how it is invulnerable or safe, we must also talk about another amulet that is equally powerful, which is the “broken gun tiger.” It is said that a police officer in Bang Kruai District heard that Luang Pu Yaem created a lead tiger to raise funds to build a temple. Someone told him about the sacredness of Luang Pu’s amulets, so he wanted to try it out. He borrowed it from a disciple who lived near the temple to try it out. It turned out that the first shot did not go off. The second shot did not go off. He shot it again a third time. The gun exploded and injured his hand, causing a scar to this day. In addition, when Luang Pho Sot traveled from Suphan Buri and stayed for the first Buddhist Lent at Wat Bot Bon (next to Wat Takhian ) Before moving to Wat Pak Nam Phasi Charoen, he became a disciple and received the ultimate kindness in the knowledge of making holy powder and the knowledge of grinding Itthije powder. When he mastered the knowledge of making holy powder, he collected the holy powder he had created. Later, he created amulets, the first edition of Phra Somdej, Phra Khun Phaen Khai Pha Si, Phra Nang Phaya in clay, Phra Phim Leb Mu Khao Tum in palm leaf powder and Itthije powder. #VisitTemples #VisitThaiTemples #VisitNonthaburi
