阿赞来大师生于泰皇四世年代,佛历2454年,在北部的阿育雅府,阿赞来大概20岁左右出家为僧,其师承龙波变屈稍碰密,后来他开始苦行,到过很多不同的地方,向很多出名的法师学习法术和坐禅。佛历2495年,师傅四十五岁,突然还俗称为阿赞。他回到了自己的家乡,开始用自己的法术帮助当地的人民,名气越来越大,称为当时阿育塔雅府有名的传奇白衣。
其间,阿赞来师傅制作了一批最为传奇的圣物,泰文称“魂魄勇”,所用的法术为最古老相传的魂魄勇法术,用特别的藤编织成“人形”法相,里面加入了包括经灰,花粉,湾,等数十种特别的圣物,再进行开光法术入灵。这批圣物他只是制作给自己的家人和弟子佩戴的,可以护身挡降驱灵辟邪,但口碑慢慢就传开了,慕名前来恭请的人越来越多,这些历史在泰国本土的纪录书中可以查阅,不久后,其督造的魂魄勇被誉为泰国公认第一。
阿赞来一生中制作的魂魄勇极其有限,约300枚左右,全部是亲手所做。由佛历2500开始至2528为止,由于损耗,现存于世的不超过100尊,极其珍贵,当初拥有这批魂魄勇的人如今无不成为当地的富足之人,而阿赞来制作的魂魄勇也被成为泰国老一代神奇圣物的活化石。
2528年,阿赞来大师圆寂,享年74岁。大师的名字也被记录进泰国法物的历史史册,在泰国,十大最热门“KU 蓝框进”(非佛像类圣物),当中泰文:“魂魄勇替身第一,便为阿赞来大师。
"魂帕容"(替身),自佛历2500开始制作,约数只有300尊,每尊皆由人手制作成立体人形,法相皆有少许不同,大致分为以下四种版本:
1.细模,一般高1.5~2公分,头部为全圆或半圆形。
2.中模,一般高2~2.5公分,头部多为半圆乒乓形。
3.大模,一般高2.5~4公分,头部多为较偏形。
4.供奉形,一般高10~20公分,头部为全圆形。(稀少版本)
大部份魂身上都有经线,除了较早期外,原本师傅制作时已附有一胶壳,上方有一"屋"字符咒及小洞,但由于该种壳外观较差,后期人一般会自行换上金壳。市场上基本上每期都有兴趣,惜极难寻找,现在市面已是近10万泰币的流通行情,而一般价格低于5万泰币,大多是仿品,为现今非常热门之圣物。同时版主在泰国市场所见近95%为仿品,部份几可乱真。师傅会先收集一种叫"加籣"的圣物(一种特别藤草),后编织成"人形"法相,里面会加入经灰、圣土、弯稍龙、弯神尼有助人缘之花粉及特别圣物,再作开光。师傅被喻为当代最出名制作替身之师傅,起初他只有制作给自已的家人佩带,但口啤慢慢传开,要求请供的人也越来越多,这些历史在泰国多本纪录书内皆有作出介绍,其督造的魂被喻为全泰公认第一。人们都相信每尊魂内都有独立的灵,这也是泰国市场非常热爱师傅圣物之理由。
据说请回魂帕容之后,他就代表了你,也成为你的替身,帮助生意及人缘,而且不论一切的意外、灾难、降头邪术,他都会帮忙挡去,而当你不在店或家中时,如有小偷前来,会看见你在店中,仿如真人一样,当离开车时,可以请他帮忙看车,以下几则为真人真事:
有一位阿育塔雅的高级牌商,曾经发表过一篇经历,他身上有阿赞来大师的魂帕容(非卖品),很多次自已一个人去吃饭,服务员会端上两杯水,有时三个人去吃饭,服务员会拿来四碟饭,仿佛对方看见多一个人一样…
一位泰国朋友,以前的生活过的很潦倒,去了那里都不受欢迎,且很多小人,且一直存不了钱,约四年前请回了第一面魂帕容,慢慢感觉生活上的不顺慢慢解决,生意也慢慢有所改变,现在在泰国开了2家小店,有自已的房子…
也有传说魂帕容会增加财富及好运,在泰国阿育塔雅本府内,以前那些老一辈有向师傅请到替身而保存至今之人,现在虽不至成为巨贾,但大部份都是当地的商家,有开金店、车店、超市的老板,一般大多为较富裕之人,生活无忧,而他们大都将这个圣物一代代传予下一代。
Acharn Loi PoNgern (Ayuthaya) was born in B.E.2454 and was a master famous for his vicha (magical knowledge) when he was alive. One of the reasons for his fame was due to the fact that he had acquired his magical knowledge from many popular Masters during that time. LuangPhu Pen of Wat SaoThongMai (Ayuthaya), who was also the teacher of LuangPhu Suang Wat ChiPakao (Singh Buri) was one of Archarn Loi's masters who had taught him the vicha.
With the magical knowledge Acharn Loi acquired from the great masters, he created amulets such as Kumanthong, NangQuak, Balakit and Hoon PaYon. Of all his creation, his Hoon PaYon is the most popular amulet. In fact, we can even say that it is the most popular Hoon PaYon amulets even till today in Thailand. This is because Archan Loi is the only Acharn who had acquired the right knowledge and skills to create Hoon PaYon in the ancient way.
It is not an easy task to create Hoon PaYon and only a few Archans or monks have been known to have such ability in creating one so far. The master must know how to invite Hoon PaYon with the right Vicha (Magical Knowledge) from the 4 elements NaMaPaTa (Soil,Water,Wind and Fire) into the figure. There is a common wrong belief that Hoon Payon is a ghost spirit which had been invited into the figurine. Instead it is actually a Guardian which is supposed to watch and protect his owner against any danger. That is why the main reason for creating Hoon Payon during that time was more to protect the soldiers who were out for war as a protection.
As mentioned, not all monks or archans know how to create Hoon Payon. Besides having the knowledge, it requires a long and strict process to create Hoon Payon. For instance, Acharn Loi can only create a few Hoon PaYons each time personally without any help or assistance. With his hands on the back of his body, he would need to tie the straws and various materials into a Hoon Payon without looking. Once completed, Acharn Loi will write Yants on a triangle cloth which looked like a Thong (Flag) where he would then lay all the Hoon PaYons on the ground and wave the Hoon PaYons with the flag. Miraculously, the Hoon Payons would stand on its own only those that stood up would be allowed for the followers to be brought back for as an amulet for protection. Today, his Hoon Payon is rarely seen and would not to mention, finding a genuine one. The great master of Hoon Payon, Acharn Loi PoNgern (Ayuthaya), passed away in B.E.2528.
