Luang Por Noi was born on Feburary 14, 1892. He was a son of Ma, the father, and Mi, the mother. Ma was Ethnic Lao, and possessed knowledge in incantations and archaic medicine.

At the age of 21, Luang Por Noi was ordained on April 14, 1913. He received the name “Kanatashoto” (Ká-ná-tà-sho-dtho) as his buddhist alias. Luang Por Noi moved back to Srisa Thong Temple in Nakhon Chai Si Sub-District, Nakhon Pathom Province after two years. His last position was Lord Abbot - Preceptor.

Luang Por Noi had studied the creation of Rahu and amulet, called Wua Tanu, from his father. His Rahu was believed to be Thailand’s most renowned amulet used for luck, enhancement, protection, and repelling occults. Luang Por Noi created Rahu by craving one-eyed coconut shells in various sizes: small, medium, big, and whole coconut shell.

Rahu must be created only during lunar eclipse, and the incantation had to stop before lunar eclipse was over. In contrast, Wua Tanu creation had to start with framework, and this stage did not require to be made during lunar eclipse. The framework can be made from copper, silver, and gold wire. Next stage of Wua Tanu creation would begin during lunar eclipse. During the lunar eclipse, Luang Por Noi would use jujube wax, located east, to sculpt the amulet. If the sculpture was not yet done before the lunar eclipse was over, the amulet must be destroyed because of the incomplete formula.

Engraving at the back of Rahu (talisman) can be categorized by four Pra Ajarn:

1. Luang Por Noi engraved with strong-medium characters.
2. Ajarn Pin (bpìn) engraved with light characters.
3. Ajarn Som engraved with thick characters.
4. Ajarn See (sĕe) engraving is rarely found.

Whoever has Rahu in possession is considered to have good fortune. Rahu amulets are rare as very few have been created. It is understood that there are widespread of unauthentic amulets with an estimation of 100:1. Northern region of Thailand also created Rahu, but it was different from Central region. The Northern creations can be distinguished from the Central region by Lanna artwork and characters engraving.

1. Pra Kroo Tup of Thong Temple (Yan Yung Covered Eyes Buddhist Amulets’ creator)
2. Tan Jao Khun Sunton of Kalayanamitr Temple
3. Luang Pu Nak of Huay Chorakhe Temple, who created Alloy Covered Eyes buddhist amulets that were most renowned around 80 years ago (about 1930’s). The amulets were very renowned that if someone wanted one in possession, and happened to have Pra Somdet of Rakhang Temple, can trade with Pra Somdet with additional 5 bahts. A baht, back then, can purchase 1,600 square meters of land.
4. Supreme Patriarch Pae (Somdet Pra Sangkharat Pae) often visited Klang Bang Kaew Temple when he was “Prommunee” to associate with Luang Pu Bun.
5. Jao Khun Seeson of Suthat Thepphawararam Temple whom Supreme Patriarch Pae sent to learn incantation with Luang Pu Bun.

Luang Pu Nak wished to create Covered Eyes buddhist amulets for his followers as a reminder for goodness and kindness to other people. If carry the amulets with oneself or leave at home, the amulets will bring fortune and become protection.

Luang Pu Nak designed the framework and mixed alloys in the crucible. He then poured the alloys into the framework. Once cooled, he polished them to be more completed. The last step was for Luang Pu Nak to carve talismans front and back, then recite incantations.
Luang Pu Nak of Huay Chorakhe Temple’s Covered Eyes buddhist amulets were created about 120 years ago. If anyone has an amulet in possession, one said to be very fortunate.

In Luang Pu Nak era, the amulets were very well known and said to make the owner invulnerable. Luang Pu Nak’s amulets were not easy to acquire. Even one with Somdet amulets of Rakang Kosittaram Temple wanted to exchange for Luang Pu Nak’s Covered Eyes, would have to also give 1,600 square meters of land along with the Somdet amulets.

There are a lot of copies of Luang Pu Nak’s Covered Eyes nowadays. They are made by using the framework made by Luang Pu Nak’s disciples, or made by the new framework and then carved the talismans afterward. After they finished making one, they would try to erase the talisman in order to make it more authentic.
Experts always say, “they may deceive us by the looks, but they will never be the originals with the real old spirits.”
Anyone who is interested in Luang Pu Nak’s Covered Eyes should be careful of the copies that are very well made.

Luang Pu Nak did not only created amulets with alloys, but also with lead and soil. Talismans also had various formulas, and they were all satisfied Luang Pu Nak’s wish.
