马来西亚僧王 督拉惹

銮菩孔榜锡
หลวงพ่อครน บางแซะ
Luang Por Kron Bang Sae

在马来亚佛教界里,曾被泰国觐选一百零八位顶尖儿高僧里,唯一不属于泰国境内的高僧,就是是信徒尊称为“督拉惹”的高僧,也是唯一被回教苏丹王室御封为“督拉惹”的高僧。

更有人称銮菩为马来亚“必达王”ปิดตา(Pitta),可想而知,他所铸造的“必达”是多么出名的。但简称銮波为“阿祖”或“阿公”,较为有亲切感。泰族人称銮菩为銮菩孔榜锡หลวงพ่อครน บางแซะ (Luangpo Kron Bangsae)。

銮菩孔出生于1876年(佛历2419)11月2日,星期四属鼠年,当时还是暹罗管辖时代的吉兰丹,父亲名叫乃村,母亲叫喃乔,姓氏为叻乍伦(Rajcharuen)。

銮菩孔十二岁时,父亲才带他去越乌塔玛喃 วัดอุตตมาราม(Watuttamanram),也称越榜锡วัดบางแซะ(Wat Bangsae),随寺院主持学习泰文,过后又学会了巴利文,而能朗诵经文。銮菩自从进入寺院,学习语文后,就非常喜爱研读经书,甚少游乐,与其他孩童性格绝然不同。住持在观察下,就觉得此孩童,似乎前世曾修过梵行,看他的一举一动皆有僧侣的风范,他日必为僧中之尊呀!

銮菩读完寺院里的经书后,他也不愿回家,继续留在那里,帮忙做个方面之事,同时也教村中的小孩们学习泰语。

到年龄二十一岁时,銮菩要求父母给他筹备出家之事,父母也和亲友们为他剃度受戒为僧人。于1895年(佛历2438)6月15日,为受戒的是柏巴叻差法师,銮菩的法名柏昆普纳苏瓦若(Pra Kron punasuwano)。

起先銮菩孔用两年的时间深入的研习巴利大藏经,过后他觉得自己应该出外走走,寻求更高一层的佛学知识。就毅然此外了住持,步行出发去修苦行戒律。但是当时没有良好的道路,只好翻山越岭,当然得徒步行走。整个月后来到了一个村庄,有间寺院越莲乍(Wat Leamchak),得知有位法力高强的高僧,叫做銮菩玛哈蕾(Luangpo Mahaloi)。

起初銮菩玛哈蕾将一本法术秘籍交与督拉惹,他得花上两年时间方能背诵通笈交里的经文,接着更深的修禅定法门。其后他也各地去寻访名师钻研各门法术,而且还在泰南各府,当了多间佛寺的主持。督拉惹多住在宋卡府和高头廊府一带,也曾在越考乌(Wat Kao-or)修习多种信物的独特法门。

在1925年(佛历2468)督拉惹辞去越迈考岭的主持职位,决定回到家乡,接任越乌塔玛喃的住持方丈。

他 准备大肆修葺寺院。当时周围都被胶园团团围住,寺院的地大约二十多英亩。居民多是以割胶为生,过的生活的相当辛苦,不过每逢节日却都非常诚心的前来献僧供 佛,有者今天看他们欢天喜地的来献僧,明天却传来他的恶讯,说是被蛇咬死了!因为树胶园里毒蛇丛生,尤其是眼镜蛇,在攻击人的时候,竖起起来像人一般 高。

銮 菩看到这种情景,非常难过,就将以前修苦行戒时所收集的圣土,用来制造 避险的圣物,这就是初期 銮菩孔制造 掩面佛牌的心意,制成后派发给信徒,信徒佩带后果真 一路平安无事,更奇怪的是毒蛇遇上有佩带必达佛牌的村民,都会掉头而逃,不敢接近,甚至碰上老虎、熊也会出现相同的情况,信徒们一传十,十传百,銮菩孔的 必 达佛像的神奇就此迅速的传遍开来。。。。。

在以前要去寺院是非常艰难的,因为交通很不方便,只有从水路或者乘坐火车才能达到寺院,有些信徒甚至跟随火车铁轨走了十多哩才到达寺院,因为哥打峇鲁到兰斗班让间是没有火车站的,有些信徒都是去到兰斗班让在走回头,但路程也要数哩之遥。

曾经有比较相熟的信徒,要到銮波昆寺院之前,就会先买了烟。然后才上火车;在火车上,就会走到车头,找驾驶员打交道,顺便送上烟给他,要求火车经过寺院时,尽量放慢车速,好让他们有机会从火车上跳下去,如此一来就节省了很多时间和精力。

信 徒一到寺院,一般先回和銮菩闲谈,銮菩是一位很健谈的僧人,不会难以相处,而当信徒要求必达佛牌时,銮菩就会记录下他个人的行业和需要,如果是做生意者, 銮菩就会多用人缘经文。然后才然后再择日鋳造制模,集会圣土、花粉、经水和石灰等,放进模型里印出了一枚必达佛牌。

銮菩才利用小刀片,慢慢的雕出完美的曲线,然后以画图的铁笔,一边唸经,一边将经文写在必达佛的身上,再放入法坛上,日夜诵经,直至两三个月后,信徒才可以奉请佩戴。

所以每一枚必达佛牌,都是銮菩要每枚佛牌都呈现最完美的形象,让人看上去,就非常渴望将之拥有。这就是督拉惹必达佛牌最独特之处

銮菩孔 所住的吉兰丹 州,銮菩在这里却没有受到回教徒的排挤,銮菩具有高深的法力,时常帮忙这些马来同胞解决一些玄妙的奇难杂症,如中邪、中降、小孩子哭个不停等的问 题。 銮菩 也 常常唸一些经水让他们带回去饮用或洗澡,一般可以解决一些玄妙的问题。甚至连吉兰丹苏丹也亲自觐见銮菩,并向銮菩谈起说:他每次去举行王室仪式时,都会感 到头顶有撕裂头痛的感觉,因为其中有一点血统奥妙的差距。銮菩就说没有问题,走入佛舍里,拿出长约一尺多的手杖。

此手杖泰语成为“迈古鲁”ไม้คูรู(Mai Kru),意译是师父杖或权杖。此杖的功能是增加权威,避一切的邪恶。銮菩孔就把它交给吉兰丹苏丹王。而苏丹王从此每次开王室大会时,再也不会发生头痛的问题。而苏丹永远手不离此权杖,时常紧随于身。苏丹为了感谢銮菩孔的恩典,就第一次封 泰族高僧为僧王,马来语就是“督拉惹”(Tok Raya)。

据说銮菩孔曾在修苦行戒律时,去到一座山洞,见到一位修行老僧在里头居住,銮波就朝拜此老僧,并向他学习禅定法门。

过 了三个月的守夏节。有一天老僧叫銮菩孔来到床前,这时候老僧已病倒在床了,老僧将一支拐杖状的木棍交给銮菩孔,说是当年他年轻时候有位高僧交给他的,并吩 咐 他说他日得遇见有慧根者才传交于他,并传授口诀以及制造迈古鲁的秘诀,銮菩孔就是从此处学来的。銮菩得到迈古鲁后,就日夜拥带在身旁,连睡觉也相随,觉得 得到迈古鲁后,自己的法力也隋着增长。不久之后传迈古鲁于他的老僧也圆寂了。

后来銮菩孔制造了数支迈古鲁给有需要的人士,吉兰丹苏丹的就是其中一支。这只迈古鲁现在还供奉在苏丹宫里哪!

自 从銮菩孔回到家乡主持寺院,首先就是着手发展教育、建设校舍,并由柏吗哈曾当老师。接着还筹建了一间全马来西亚甚至泰国所无的,与众不同的大雄宝殿。四方 有门进出,前门的十二支大柱子有祥龙盘卷的雕刻,更有许多奇珍异兽的雕像团团围绕,计有龙、象、狮、虎、鹿、鹰及牛等等。进口处两旁筑了两座神龛,分别供 奉大伯公与观音大士的圣像,蔚为奇观。

从此这里有许多僧侣和法师纷纷前来拜在銮菩孔的门下,来学佛道法门。学成之后可以籍着佛法去救人于苦难中,这也是銮菩教授法门的宗旨。

在1962年(佛历2505年),銮菩孔从新加坡回返之后,就一直卧病在床,吉兰丹苏丹也亲自前来探病。无奈 老銮菩年事已高,终于在11月19日圆寂,享年88岁,入戒68年,一代圣僧从此沉寂了

買佛牌三大秘訣

記以下三點:
第一,出自正廟
出售佛牌給你的人, 必須因為恭請佛牌的原因,不斷地親身前往泰國 。這一點可以從護照的出入境記錄看出來。有不少直接委託泰國的朋友, 以郵寄的方式把佛牌寄來本地再出售。 而這個佛牌的商人是否能確保他的朋友所恭請的佛牌, 真的出自正廟? 還是來自路邊攤?

佛牌一樣心咒不同
而有關於佛牌的功效, 注意的事項、 佩戴的儀式、 一些心咒的*動以及售後服務等等, 是否可以獲得保證呢 ?可能就連出售佛牌的本人, 也是一頭霧水。
打個比方, 同樣早坤平將軍的佛牌; 拿著雞的 、抱著兩個女性的、 坐著人頭的、抱著古曼童的、單純自身法相的 ;其功效心咒和須注意的事項, 統統都不一樣 。不同的正廟, 所製造的同一類型佛牌, 心咒也會不同。

例如鬼王廟的古曼心咒, 阿曾力光的古曼心咒 、 鑾波潘的古曼心咒、沒有一個是相同的 。這些如果沒有當面跟住持溝通、 問個清問楚、出售佛牌的人又如何購買佛牌的善信交待?
去過泰國一兩次旅行的人, 隨手從路邊攤抓起一把佛牌就當真佛牌 。所以信徒們一定要注意,如果是認真從事佛牌行業的人, 他們必定至少每半年到泰國一次。
必須看看護照上出境紀錄(可以要求出售佛牌者對護照進行拍照) 才能確保此人是否真的不斷去泰國恭請佛牌。 單純去過一兩次的, 很可能只是旅遊,不值得信任。

第二,高僧開光才算真品
出售佛牌給你的人,只要是恭請佛牌來自正廟, 就肯定會和住持大師合照。 這就是證明佛牌不是來自路邊攤的最根本證據。

因為就算是泰國本地人, 也很難確保自己在佛牌商店裡頭不會恭請到假佛牌。 更何況我們這些外國人? 所以為了不受矇騙,通常佛牌商人的每一批佛牌, 聖物, 都親自到泰國恭請,還必須親自從主持高僧手上接過佛牌,確保佛牌已經加持和開光。
在這種情況之下, 就算我們不能分辨佛牌真假,但是當面跟佛牌的主持高僧現場恭請, 這就沒有可能是假的了 。因此信徒們一定要注意, 出售佛牌給你的人, 如果單純只有一兩張照片是和某個大師合照的話, 那就得要再深入觀察一番。

第三,道德溣亡唯利是圖
出售佛牌給你的人,本心是借佛法救世, 而不是唯利是圖 。以素質 、修養和談吐,這些可以憑個人經驗去分析, 從而做出判斷。

泰国佛牌的力量

相信“泰国佛牌“的人,都会相信或希望单单戴着佛牌就可以改变他的生活和处境(命运),如人缘,财运和其他......., 戴了朋友或某某方面介绍的某某佛牌,佩戴了佛牌就在那里等待好运或奇迹的来临.............,过了一段时间的等待,都没有改变现有的困境,还没有渡过难关,人缘,财运和其他还是很差.....相信有一大部分的人就会觉得这尊佛牌不好和不出名,不够“Power”,或者他觉得这佛牌不适合他,换了另外一尊(或多尊)来佩带,过后也是没有改变,又换一尊..........一年里不知道换了多少尊,“花”了不少钱,都还没有改善,问题在那里呢 ???

有位资深的大哥有分享过“佛牌只是辅助/助力”。 我们可以带着一尊有“功能”的佛牌来助力,或者带着一尊佛牌当做一种提醒自己来改变我们自己......,最重要都是多做善事,包括改变自己不好的心态和想法,持有道德和慈悲心,好好供奉(孝顺)家里的两尊大菩萨(父母)和其我们佛教徒所应该守的戒,应该做的善事,相信福报或奇迹很快就会来临,有时候福报来的时候,让你高兴到笑不出口.....虽然不同的人会有不同的福报,这也要看个人前世或早期所种下的根(因),才有现在的果。有的有福报的人,做了一点善事,就有现眼报,有可能几个小时里内就看到效果,这可能是他之前所种下来的根

Biography of Tok Raja

Tok Raja of Wat Uttamaram Pasir Mas Kelantan Tok Raja of Wat Uttamaram Pasir Mas Kelantan .
Khron Ratchanaren (known as Tok Raja) was born on Thursday December 1, BE2419 (1876). He was sent to Wat Uttamaram by his parents when he was 12 years old to learn Buddhism and Thai language. He stayed with Archan Lok who was the temple Chief Abbot at that time. Tok had showed great interest in Buddhism and became a “Dek Jom” under the supervision of Bhikkhu (monks) in the temple. Besides, he also learned crafting and construction. He once told the devotees that even from an early age, he cherished the ambition of joining the monk hood and stay in the temple to learn Buddhism unlike his other kampung (village) boys of the same age who more preferred to stay in their homes in the kampung.
Ordination (Upasombot)
Tok Raja joined monkhood (Bhikkhu) on Jun 15, 2438 (1895) when he was 21 years old. The ordination took place at Wat Uttamaram and was ordained by the following monks:
1) Phra Upatcha Palad Chai of Wat Mai Suwankhiri
2) Phra Khru Ophart Phuthakhun of Wat Chon Prachumthart and
3) Phra Athikarn Phut from Wat Bangtakwa Silaloi who became Kammavacanusavanacarn
Tok Raja was then given a Buddhist name known as Punnaksuwanno.
 Seeking knowledge
After becoming a monk, he stayed at Wat Uttamatam for two phansa after that he travelled to Southern Thailand to learn Pali language and at that time is known as the big book. Tok was resided at Wat huaphom Nai in Songkhla and learn Buddhism in greater depth. He also learned “Phrakhatha vertmon” which consist of “Khamphi Mulkachai” and “Khamphi Thammadboth” in Wat Huaporm Nai as well as Vipassana Kammatharn technique in Songkhla for 15 years. In the year 2449 BE, Tok Raja was appointed Chief Abbot of the Wat for 10 years.
Due to the fact that Tok Raja needs to be back to Malaya, he stepped down as Chief Abbot of Wat Huaporm Nai. Once back from Thailand, he became the Chief Abbot of Wat Mai Suwankhiri for 6 years before been transferred back to Wat Uttamaram and became the Chief Abbot of the Wat in year 2468 BE. He taught Vippassana meditation and ubasok ubasika Buddhaborisat to the kampung folks Buddhist fundamentals as well as Vertmon Katha to his pupils.
Positions hold by Tok Raja
  1. 2470 BE (1927) – appointed by Phra Khru Ophatbudthakhoon as Phra Palas Thananukrom
  2. 2476 BE (1933) – Tok Raja became Upatchaya
  3. 2484 BE (1941) – appointed as Phra Khru Vicarn
  4. 2488 BE (1945) – became the Chief Abbot of Kelantan State known as Phra Vicaranayanmuni
His role in the deployment of Dharma knowledge and spreading of Buddha’s teachings When Tok Raja  came back from Songkhla Thailand, he stressed a lot on knowledge skill. He worked very hard in order to expand the knowledge skills to devotees in Kelantan but did not meet his expectation since the Society at that time did not realise the importance of education and as such, was unable to achieve his mission to the fullness.
In early year of BE2491 (1948), Thai Buddhism has spread out of the country especially to the neighbouring country like Malaya.Malaysia was formerly known as Malaya. In that year, the first Naktham school was established in the Kedah state of Malaya. Tok has waited for the opportunity to open up such school for long time and has establish the same Naktham school in the year BE2492 and the first school was established in Wat Uttamaram Bangsek itself.
It was a resounding success in establishing these schools and Tok Raja later handed over the management of the school to Phra Maha Chan Kesaro who possessed “Parian Tham 6 Prakyok” as a teacher master. Even though there was a shortage in teaching resources, there was a huge demand from monks all over Kelantan to study at Wat Uttamaram to seek knowledge and learn Naktham where the expenses incurred were manageable. It was not easy to go to Wat Uttamaram at that time where it took hours to reach by walking through the jungle. Such obstacles did not prevent these pupil monks from reaching the Wat and in the same year as it was established, the first Naktham examination was held at Wat Uttamaram in Kelantan.
The Miracles of Tok Raja (The Sacred Tongkat)
Tok Raja spent his non-meditation hours in research into ancient and forgotten manuscripts which revealed ceremonies and prayers for every occasion. He made searching enquiries into information gleaned from his readings. He never considered unlikely or as far-fetched the stories he had read or heard of how and where priceless documents had been hidden in times of peril. He explored caves which others fear to enter and seldom found his mission unfruitful. From these ancient writings he copied the prayers and chants which are the weapons he uses in his self-imposed war against Black Magic. He tried the effect of these prayers upon himself when sick, and at all times opportunity offered itself to test his Faith & Power. One day, a novice brought to him a very aged document which he knew was something precious as it has been zealously guarded heirloom. He found that the documents described how a sacred tongkat (wand) should be constructed and the ingredients that went into its making. The tongkat was too powerful for the novice who made no use of it. On his death-bed, the novice gifted the tongkat to Tok Raja. Since then, it has never been out of his sight for a fleeting moment. He carried it with him wherever he goes and when asleep, it rests beside him. He has put the tongkat to good use in effecting cures both physical and mental. No ordinary man can touch the tongkat without feeling its Power. He has attained so high a standard of perfection and he was no mere mortal. By a few seconds of association with someone, or at a glance, he can say if the person seeking his help is clean in heart, a genuine sufferer or a fake if he has come to him convinced that only prayer can save life.
Tok Raja had never refuse aid and preached Dharma to those fake instead. He won more and more followers to his philosophy of life. News spread widely from devotees and even strangers about the wonders he had performed for them. He certainly was a modern Miracle Worker who convinces you of the unbelievable stories from the recovery of a dying man to saving from been possessed of evil spirit and even non Buddhist experience similar wonders in resolving their problems.
Donations poured in to the temple from all corners of Malaya (including Singapore) and with adequate funds, Tok was able to built the Kelantan first Naktham school in Wat Uttamaram (2nd School in Malaya after Kedah) and constructed Ubosoth (Both) and Kutis surrounding the temple.
Tok Raja’s Last Days
Tok Raja enjoyed good health and always fresh and active even at the age of over eighty years old. His health only started to deteriote from July 2505BE (1962) onwards. Tok’s health was deteriorating significantly after his trip to Singapore. The bad news about his health was spread like wild fire and many people from all over Malaya (Malaysia) came to visit him, including the Royal Highness The Sultan of Kelantan. Due to old age, Tok Raja passed away on November 19, 2505BE (1962), 15 days before the conferment of “Chao Khoon” title bestowed to him by the King of Thailand, his Highness King Phumibol Adulyadeth where Tok Raja was invited to be present at the King Palace in Bangkok on December 5, 2505BE (1962)

必打佛(掩面佛)的功效

必打佛(掩面佛)这是一尊专保钱财不漏,而且有人缘六合,招财揽财守财、讨好上司,旺人缘。避小人、避官非、驱邪、避险、避降、消灾等功能。
传说 相传,佛祖坐下一位弟子,名为"拍马哈格咋也纳",他非常聪敏、长相俊朗、而且样貌与佛祖有几分相似,所以到任何地方都受到善信特别热诚的对待,更有善信 误认他为佛祖,但这些也做成他修行的障碍,部份师兄弟也有很多闲言闲语,更因为有些女善信对他的款待,被人说他与女子有染犯下重戒,"拍马哈格咋也纳"有 见及此,便利用神通法力将容貌改变、身材变成矮小、肥胖,这也是现今有称为"善加财"佛像的法相,但原来这是不能令善信们改变对他的态度,所以"拍马哈格 咋也纳"便将眼长期合上,不理会别人对他的态度及闲言,只一心修行,因此有"拍必打"的俗称。 至于"拍必打"佛牌的创制,现在已经很难确实追溯,有传是一位称"拍马哈爹纳"的僧人所制,而"拍必打"佛牌较正确的名称应为"拍咭温角你"或"拍咭 温",而现今所制的"拍必打"佛牌,大致上分为两种,一为两手、二为多手(如八手),一般两手的"拍必打",我们称为"拍必打马哈胡",多手的称为"拍必 打环",而这种"拍必打环",多为八手造形,称为"拍必打环吞九",意即掩盖九处主要渠道,双眼、双耳、两鼻孔、口、肚脐、肛门,令对我们不利的事、物, 不能进入身体影响我们的心灵。 佩戴多手比达,可以帮助善行挡灾,适合危险职业的人佩戴。主要是招正偏财(以偏财为主)、挡灾、避险、避小人、避不好的事发生等。 掩面佛又称必达佛,将对佩戴者不利的事、物阻挡在体外,使之不能进入身体影响人们的心灵,由此挡灾避险,同时避小人及不好的运气近身,使之正气随身,同时 佩戴者还会借助掩面佛的功力,有助招偏财运,使佩戴者正财、偏财滚滚来!小人霉运远远去
