🙏🏽 Most Venerable Luang Phor Kallong of Wat Khao Lem 🙏🏽

Luang Phor Kallong Techawanno, also known as Luang Pu Kallong Khiao Kaew, was one of the great Thai masters associated with Wat Khao Lem, in Sa Kaeo province. Born in 1918 and passed away in 2009, he is remembered by devotees as a monk of meditation, ascetic discipline, and profound esoteric knowledge.

Originally from the Pathum Thani region, the Most Venerable Luang Phor Kallong showed a strong inclination for religious life at a very young age. He entered monastic life as an adult and was given the Dharma name Techawanno. After his ordination, he studied under many renowned masters, particularly in the fields of meditation, sacred incantations, protective yants, and traditional ritual practices of Thai Buddhism. The Most Venerable Luang Phor Kallong also spent many years in Thudong retreats in the jungle, living in various remote caves and having extraordinary encounters with both wild animals and various classes of spirits from Thai folklore.

Over the years, his reputation grew throughout the country. He was particularly revered for his spiritual presence, his mastery of blessings, and the miraculous power attributed to his amulets. Devotees also associated him with the nickname Khiao Kaew, referring to a sacred physical peculiarity called a "crystal tooth" (the Venerable had a tooth in the center of his palate that he could voluntarily move in and out of his palate like opening and closing an eye, an exceptional peculiarity that, if legends are to be believed, he shared with the monkey god Hanuman! In any case, this mobile tooth did exist, I saw it with my own eyes), considered in popular tradition as an exceptional karmic sign.
