Biography of Luang Por Guay Chudtintaro, Wat
Kositaram, Chainat.
Luang Por Guay was born on 2nd of November
2448 in the year of the snake, in Soi 9, Ban
Kae , Tambon Bang Khud, Sakburi, Chainat. He
was the son of Mr. Dtui Bpan Son, who
originally came from Wiset Chaichan, Ang
Tong Province. His Mother was named ‘Khun
Mae Dtuan Daechma, from Ban Kae.
He had four Siblings; first came his
three Brothers, Dtu, Khaad, Cheun and then
his Sister Nak, and last came the youngest,
Guay. All of the Brothers and Sisters, and
Luang Por Guay himself have passed away, and
are no longer with us. Luang Por Guay was
the last born and the most loved of his
Parents.
When he grew up a bit, they took him
to stay with Luang Phu Khuad at Wat Ban Kae
(Wat Kositaram), to receive some schooling.
In those days, the area of Ban Kae was still
far from
infrastructure and Civilization, and
too difficult to reach a real school. Luang
Phu Khuad asked his Parents beforehand, what
Guays birthdate and Birth Year were, as well
as questioning them as to his skin
complexion, manner of speech. T turned out
that the young Guay had the astrological
alignments of a ‘Maha Burut' (Great Person),
who would be sure to end up in a high
position.
Guays skin complexion was lighter
than that of his parents, more yellowish and
light in complexion, which in Thailand is
believed to be the sign of a person with
great wisdom and intelligence. He was a
child of little speech, but with eyes that
reflected daring and penetrating. He was a
person with a grand aura of power and
strength, but whose manner and movement was
gentle and graceful.
He learned to read and write and to
use mathematics with LP Khuad, and at the
young age of six or seven, he was already
able to read the Dhammapada and Pali
Prayers. So Luang Phu Khuad then continued
to teach Luang Por Guay ‘Pasa Khom' (Ancient
Khmer Sanskrit). Luang Phu continued to
share as many Wicha as possible with Luang
Por Guay. He did this with the knowledge
that perhaps one day the young boy might
Ordain into the Buddha Sasana as a member of
the Sangha, and then these teachings would
serve him to be able to become a Great
master, in line with his ‘Duang Chadtaa'
(Horoscope reading) which LP Khuad had
already examined.
When Luang Phu Khuad passed away, the
young Guay was taken from the temple by his
parents to continue studying Khom with Luang
Por Dam (sometimes spelled ‘Dum'), of Wat
Hua Den, which was quite close to Wat Ban
Kae (Wat Kositaram).
Once he had mastered Khom, he went on
to learn at Wat Praw school in Don Gam. He
had to travel there, but not too far. He
learned up to the level of Por Sorng, (about
twelve years old) and then became bored with
learning because he was already far ahead of
most others in his age, and could even
already read Khom fluently. He turned to
assisting his Parents in running the farm at
home. The whole time he spent helping his
parents, he could not get Luang Por Khuad
and the temple out of his head. He saw no
purpose in spending ones life farming for
harvest.
Older generation Thais tell that
Luang Por Guay was not a selfish or
hedonistic child like many others of that
time, but when Luang Por Guay was asked
about this, he said that he was a very
naughty boy, and that he used to like to
make arrow shaped projectiles and shoot them
out of his gun with gunpowder.
When evening would come, whoever had
left their windows open would get a warning
shot from the young Guay to warn them to
close their windows properly. As he was
still a layman, he would always say to his
Parents that if he ordained as a Monk, then
he would ‘Buach Mai Seug' (Ordain forever,
and never disrobe).
He once explained this to his
grandmother, and told that as he was young,
he once had a person who he held very dear
to his heart. He would climb up to the
window of their room (Luang Por did not say
if this was something he did often or just a
few times, and also does not reveal who the
person in question was). One evening, he was
longing to see the person he loved, and
climbed up to the window as arranged. But
when he got there, the full moon was shining
so brightly, that he did not dare to appear
He thus waited until the Moon fell,
and it was late. The darkness fell, and he
dared to climb up to the window of his loved
one with no fear of her Father seeing him.
His lover was asleep already, tired
of waiting, and the sight he was greeted
with made him stand frozen in surprise. She
lay with her hair all tangled, and her mouth
open in an unmannerly fashion. Spittle was
dribbling from the side of her mouth, and
she lolled with the covers arranged as the
sheets on a corpse. It was not possible to
find any beauty there at all in this
impression. In this moment, he released his
attachments to such matters completely, and
fled. He never returned to look for his
lover again. Since then, he never had
another affair with any lover.
This shows that Luang Por Guay was
already realized in the renunciation of
Sexual Sensory pleasures since before he
ordained as a Monk. When he came of age and
was
