Phra Samuh Chuea Piyasilo was a revered Thai Buddhist monk and former Deputy Abbot of Wat Klang Bang Kaeo, known for his sacred amulets and spiritual influence. [1]
Phra Samuh Chuea Piyasilo was born on 15 May 1925 in Ban Tai Khung, Thai Yawas Subdistrict, Nakhon Chai Si District, Nakhon Pathom Province, during the late reign of Rama VI. His parents were Mr. Pae and Mrs. Bue Netprapai.
In his youth, he completed primary education (Grade 4) at Wat Prachanat School (Wat Khok Khaek) and later helped his family with rice farming. At the age of 26, he sought permission from his parents to be ordained as a Buddhist monk at Wat Klang Bang Kaeo.
His preceptor was Luang Pu Pherm Punyasavano, the abbot of Wat Klang Bang Kaew. The kammaṭṭhānācariya was Phra Thammathammul of the same temple, and the anusāvanācariya was Phra Khru Phutthachaisiri (Phuk) from Wat Mai Supradittharam.
After his ordination, he devoted himself to the study of Dhamma studies and successfully passed the examinations for the Nak Tham levels: elementary, intermediate, and senior (Ek). In 1985, he was appointed Deputy Abbot of Wat Klang Bang Kaew, having earlier declined the position of abbot.
Luang Pu Chuea created numerous sacred objects (wathumongkhon) such as protective amulets and charms for safety, loving-kindness, and protection against dark magic. [2] Among the items he consecrated and distributed to his disciples were:
Unfortunately, he died suddenly on 29 December 2009 at the age of 84, having spent 58 rains retreats (vassa) in the monkhood.
