The famous monk known to Hmong..Laung Phor

[cyang]

I want to know more about him and history first then about the amulets, when I look on line they only talk about the amulet...

[cyang]

All I know he is famous for helping our people and how some of our people have the actual rocks/amulets of his...he helped our Hmong out at the refugee until he died then our people had to be kicked out..

It is not he, but rather Niam Luang Mey. The amulets are of her, and not Luang Phor. I don't know how many versions there are, but the one I heard goes like this:

A female monk, Niam Luang Mey, appears out of nowhere and request an audience with Luang Phor. She tells him that she is Hmong and that her people will be pouring in into Thailand soon. Niam Luang Mey tells Luang Phor that when she dies and her body turns into stone then Luang Phor must help her people. If it doesn't, then Luang Phor does not have to do anything.

She dies and her body, including the tree that her casket is made from, turns to stone and so Luang Phor takes in some Hmong refugees. Luang Phor tells them the story and so Hmong people wear pieces of Niam Luang Mey and the tree as talismans.

1.  Cool story bro   

[MovKuam]

Niam Luang Mey was Luang Phor aunt.

Niam Luang Mey was Luang Phor aunt.

Wrong, Niam Luang Mey is Luang Phor mom.

Who knows...the only people would be the one alive during then. The two who played a direct part in it are already long gone so...who knows.

There already Hmong people living in Thailand way before Niam Luang Mey.

Right. But, the story surrounding her has to do with the influx of Hmong refugees, not the Hmongs already living there. Anyone else know a different story? Is there different stories?
