[kennyyeap99]

Achan Fon was a great white robe master of about 60-70 years ago. Achan Fon was borned in B.E. 2426 at Ayutaya. When he was young he lost his nose during a serious illness. At the age of 10 his parents sent him to the temple to study. Achan Fon was different from the others. He did not know anything beside writting his own name. The abbot of the temple at that time was Luang Phor Krot, he pitied Achan Fon because Achan Fon had no nose and the other kids did not like him. So Luang Phor Krot taught Achan Fon a metta katha. Although Achan Fon was unable to study but he could remembered katha very well. He learned the khata with very short time.

After he knew how to use the khata. he started to try the katha. He read the katha, he went and met the people who did not like him. Suddenly these people became very friendly with him. Achan Fon was very happy and wanted to learn more katha from Luang Phor Krot. Unfortunely Luang Phor Krot had passed away. Achan Fon felt very sad. When he went into Luang Phor Krot's room, he found a few books of katha. Becuase Achan Fon did not know how to read, so he asked his friend to read the katha for him and he remembered them all.

At the age of 20 he became a monk. He went into the forest to practice, accidentally he found a temple named Wat KaiFa and the abbot of the temple was Luang Phor Dee. Luang Phor Dee pitied him and let him stayed. Achan Fon wase very hard working when he stayed at Wat KaiFa, he helpd to clean the temple everyday. One night, Achan Fon went to find Luang Phor Dee in his room, but Luang Phor Dee was not in his room and suddenly Achan Fon saw Luang Phor Dee walked out from a bubble. He knew that Luang Phor Dee was a very powerful monk and wanted to be his student. But Achan Fon did not know if he will have the chance.

One night he heard crying from the forest, and he went to see what happened. Then Achan Fon saw a women in old custom, the women said that she was the goddess of a very old tree (TongDartKian). She wanted Achan Fon to help her and said when the time comes and if Achan Fon helps her, Achan Fon will be rewarded. Achan Fon went back and slept after that. The next morning Achan Fon saw a lot of people wanted to chop down a very old tree, finally he understood why the tree goddess wanted his help. Achan Fon asked the people to stop, the people did not listen to him and wanted to attack him. Achan Fon stood to one side and started to read the metta katha, and one again he asked the people not to chop the tree and the people promised never going to chop it again.

After a few days the tree goddess did came to reward Achan Fon - which was a book of kathas. The tree goddess gave the location of the book and asked Achan Fon to find it. Achan Fon found the book, he asked his friend to read to him. His friend said that all the kathas in the book were special, there were kathas to stop bleeding, katha to heal snake poison, kataa to turn leaf into bee and more... Achan fon mastered all the kathas, he knew that he had learnt something that were completely different from other monks. So, Achan Fon started to show off his power, he used knife to cut his leg and healed his leg in front of the public.

After that he went to stay at Wat SaKiat the temple of Sangkarat Keaw. He showed off his power there in front of the public at Wat SaKiat. The monk there told him that he was ask a monk and he cannot show off his power because it was against the practice of Buddha.

Later Achan Fon disrobed himself and became a white robe Achan. Whenever there was any woman who laughed at him because of his appearance, he would use katha and make love with the woman and after that he would let the women go. If he saw women he likes, he would also use katha to make those women his wives. So Achan Fon had a lot of wives and children. So many people in Thailand said that Achan Fon metta power was greater than Khun Paen, because in the past when Khun Paen wants a woman he needs to make. read katha and gives the thing to the woman to eat by that only he can get the woman. But Achan Fon just needs to look at the women and read katha then the women would be his. So Achan Fon metta power was much more greater than Khun Paen. Achan Fon was a master different from the others. Whoever wants to be his apprentice needs to let the snake bite the hand. Achan Fon would then healed him.

In years 2480 Achan Fon told his students and devotees that there would be war in 3 years time. All of them did not understand what Achan Fon said. In years 2483, war really happened - IndoChina war. Thai King invited monks to make things for the soldiers to wear and protect them. The only white robe master that had been invited was Achan Fon. Because Achan Fon did not know how to write so he used knife to cut his mouth and applied his blood in white cloth to make blood phayant. Soldier who took Achan Fon blood phayant were all safe and no ever one die in the war. Achan Fon passed away in years 2489 at the age of 63. A few generations had passed, partial wicha knowledge of Achan Fon had been passed on. Currently in Bangkok, Achan Aik & Achan Jin(LP Kalong's disciple) are regarded as the 4th - 5th generation of Achan Fon DeeSawan's disciples.
