An important fact, often distorted

The Venerable Luang Phor Aun himself explained that as a child, his mother once took him to receive the blessing of Kruba Srivichai .
This point is important because it is sometimes exaggerated in certain biographies which claim that Luang Phor aun was the close disciple (or even retreat companion) of Kruba Srivichai, which is impossible because Kruba Srivichai died when Luang Phor aun was 6 years old.
This is a spiritual memory of a blessing received in childhood, not a master-disciple relationship , and not a retreat or tudong fellowship.

Frequently Asked Questions

Was Luang Phor Aun a direct disciple of Kruba Srivichai?
No. He stated that he received his blessing as a child. It's not a teaching relationship. Nor was he a disciple of the Venerable Luang Phor Suk, as is sometimes claimed, because Luang Phor Suk died 10 years before he was born!

Can it be linked to major Wicha lineages?
We can talk about influences and traditions passed down (yes, Luang Phor Aun studied the writings of Kruba Srivichai and Luang Phor Suk, he was also able to learn from some of their disciples), but we must avoid the sensationalist (and totally anachronistic) claims of some websites.
I myself had the chance to meet Luang Phor Aun several times and yes, he was an extraordinary Venerable, so there is no need to "invent" anachronistic lineages for him.
