Lp Ngern wat BangKlan

Lp Ngern was born in BE 2351 at Bangklan . His given name “Ngern '' in Thai has the meaning of money or sliver.

At the age of 12, he became a student of the famous guru monk Lp Suk Wat Makamtao. 8 year later, he ordained at Wat TongPu which is known as Wat Chanasongkram now.

When Lp Ngern reached the age of 25, he decided to return to his village at Bangklan. He stayed at Wat Kongkaram in Pijit Province where he also spent some time practicing Tudong. But he found the atmosphere is not conducive for his practice. Before leaving he prayed to Buddha and took along three Bodhi leaves sapling from the temple’s main entrance. It was during that time that he visited Wangtago village where he
planted the three Bhoti tree saplings. Whilst in prayer he promised to construct a temple on that spot should the saplings mature. Wat Bangklan was built.

During that period, Somdej Buddhachan Toh was still alive and Lp Ngern had visited Wat Rakang on many occasions to pay respect and further develop his understanding in Buddhism apart from learning magical
sciences.

Lp Ngern had dedicated his entire lifetime to Buddhism and lived until the age of 111 years. Luang Phor Ngern passed away on September 20 BE 2462.

Luang Phor Ngern’s small cast statue “Roop Lor" or "Loi Ong” and “Rian Phim Jop” are particularly popular although he had consecrated many types of amulets during his lifetime. This statue possessed broad spiritual values with respect to increasing charms and loving kindness, promoting prosperity and luck, escaping from dangers and enhancing one’s safety .

Roop Lor in particular is the favorite among Thai businessmen because it is believed that Luang Phor Ngern's small but wonderful figurine could increase the financial ability and business success of the beholder over time.
