Thai amulets of the Most Venerable Luang Phor Phromma.

The Most Venerable Luang Phor Promma of Wat Hin Phanang Koi (Ubon Ratchathani)

The Venerable Luang Phor Promma , also known as Lersi Promma or Ruesi Promma , is considered one of the greatest spiritual masters of the Isaan region. A major figure in the ascetic and forest tradition, he embodies the path of the hermit monk who dedicated his entire life to the practice, meditation, and transmission of ancient esoteric knowledge.

Ordained a monk at the age of twelve, he was initiated into Buddhist magic at a very young age by Somdej Lun, a renowned Khmer master of the Jampa Sak tradition. For six years, he studied under him until the latter's death, an event that profoundly marked his spiritual path.

Ascetic wandering and the transmission of forest lineages

After the death of his first teacher, Luang Phor Promma embarked on long journeys in Tudong , living alone in the jungles, mountains, and caves, in a rigorous ascetic lifestyle. It was during this period that he met the great arahant Luang Phu Mun Puratto , with whom he deepened his meditative practices and the teachings of the forest tradition.

Subsequently, he chose to withdraw to a cave located at the summit of Mount Khao Kway, where he lived in almost total solitude for forty-five years. Stripped of all material comforts, he devoted his days and nights to deep meditation and the disciplines of Lersi, developing exceptional spiritual power.

A master respected to the highest level

In 1990, he returned to Thailand, settling in a cave renowned for the peaceful coexistence of hermits and wild animals. His spiritual renown grew to such an extent that even the royal princess Somdej Prataep Radtana Rachasuda visited him twice to pay her respects and offer gifts.

Luang Phor Promma also worked on local development, helping villagers, farmers and forest communities to preserve nature, forests and wild habitats, in a spirit of compassion and balance.

The greatest creator of amulets, Lersi

For practitioners of Lersi and collectors of Ruesi amulets, Luang Phor Promma is unanimously recognized as the greatest creator of consecrated objects in this tradition. Having himself lived his entire life according to the Lersi path, his amulets are not mere ritual objects, but the direct expression of decades of authentic practice.

Her Lersi amulets, often made from sacred powders, herbs, and blessed pollen, are renowned for their spiritual power, their ability to protect, guide, and facilitate inner transformation. When Lersi amulets are mentioned in Thailand, the first name that comes to mind is Luang Phor Promma.

He passed away in 2002, at the venerable age of one hundred and five, leaving behind an immense spiritual legacy and a lineage of sacred objects among the most respected in the world of amulets.
