Lp Mui was born on the 5th of Dec B.E. 2431. He was the 4th of 5 siblings of Por Mueng (father) and Mae Chang (mother) to a farming family.

During his younger days, he helped his parents in the farm till his late teen whereby he was selected to join the army but for some unknown reason, he was discharged, not servicing a single day.

After which, he ordained as a monk in B.E. 2452 at Wat Tha Chang, Suphan Buri province. Lp Kanod Wat Tha Chang was his preceptor and Lp Yim Wat Hua Khao was his Dharma instructor.

After Lp Mui had been ordained for about 13 years, he disrobed to help his ageing parents on their farm.

However, not long after he disrobed, he fell seriously ill. That is when he make a wish that if he were to recover from his illness, he will ordain once again. Miraculously, not long after he make that wish, he recovered fully from the illness.

Months after he recovered, Lp Mui ordained again in B.E. 2465 at Wat Tak Kah, Si Prachan district, Suphan Buri province. Lp Oon of Wat Tak Kah was his preceptor, Phra Ajahn Goon & Phra Ajahn Tuan of Wat Ban Krang were his two Dharma instructors. He was given the Buddhist name of Puttaratito.

Lp Mui learned Wicha Akom (magical skill) and other form of Buddhist studies from Lp Yim and manage to learn all of his master's skill in short period of time. Lp Yim reckon that Lp Mui was very talented and will be a waste not to further his learning. Thus, he brought Lp Mui to his own teacher, Lp Suk of Wat Makhamtao.

Lp Mui and Lp Yim stayed together to learn from Lp Suk at Wat Makhamtao and Lp Suk taught Lp Mui most of his skills and he became a close disciple. Lp Mui did managed to learn and excel in most of what his new teacher taught.

Lp Mui passed away of old age at Wat Don Rai in B.E. 2517 at age 85 years. His body was undecayed and displayed in glass coffin for followers to worship till today.
