Jow Koon Noh was the first batch of students at then Official University of Kingdom Siam, now known as
Julahlonggron University. After completed his studies, Jow Koon Noh became an officer in the King's
Palace, then ruled by the 6th King of Thailand. He was the closest attendant to the King, where he
moved to the King's chamber and attended to the King's daily needs. After the death of the 6th King,
Jow Koon Noh was very sad. He left the palace in BE2468.
Jow Koon Noh's parents wanted him to get married with a lady teacher after seeing Jow Koon Noh so
sad over the
death of the King. However, before anything could be firmed up, Jow Koon Noh told his
parents that he wanted to be ordained.
Jow Koon Noh ordained on 23th March BE2468at Wat Tepsirintahwaht, a day before the 6th King was cremated.
He became a monk as tum boon for the 6th King. Jow Koon Noh never planned to leave the monkhood, from
one rain retreat to second rain retreat, third and fourth until he passed away on Friday 8th January
BE2514, in total he went through 46 rain retreats.
He was ordained by Somdej Pra Putpohsahjahn, and was his preceptor. Pra Putwiriyaaigon, the abbot
of Wat Sommanatwihahn and Pra Udon Seelahkon Wat Tepsirin were the dhamma teachers.
After Jow Koon Noh ordained, there are visitors to the temple each day. Some came to ask for
fortune-telling, some came to ask for help to solve problems and some came to present offerings
to him. Jow Koon Noh never accepted any gifts or offerings, and always told them to give them to
other monks. This is because Tahn Jow Koon Noh observed the 227 precepts strictly.

Some lay devotees were not happy that Tahn Jow Koon Noh did not accept their offerings and
their attendance, they went to complain to the Jow Koon Noh's preceptor. Somdej Pra Putpohsahjahn
reprimanded Tahn Jow Koon Noh for not accepting the audience of the lay devotees and their
offerings. Tahn Jow Koon Noh explained that he ordained as a monk for the purposes of tum boon
for the 6th King and also to study the teachings of Buddha. He said he has yet to understand
the teachings and he required to concentrate on his practices. The people who came to the temple,
came with their problems from outside world, since has ordained, he wanted to cut the attachments
from the outside world and would not want to meddle or involved. After Pra Somdej Putpohsahjahn
listened to Tahn Jow Koon Noh's reasons, he stopped reprimand and accepted his decision. |
