The Ordination
Achan Od was born on July 30, 2502 BE (AD 1959) in Sam Chuk District, Suphan Buri Province. Before being a monk, he had caused a car accident which led to the death of four family members and a five-year imprisonment. After the release from prison, Achan Od, reflecting his mistakes, decided to be ordained as a monk for the dedication of merit to the deceased.
The ordination ceremony took place on January 6, 2534 BE in Wat Sai Mai, Khu Khot, Lam Luk Ka, Pathum Thani Province, when Achan Od was at the age of 32.
The method Achan Od learned and practiced belonged to that of Luang Pu Suk, Wat Pak Khlong Makham Thao, which could dedicate the merits of the Buddhist practices to the deceased.

Bullet Takrut and its Efficaciousness
Takrut Look Pern (Bullet Takrut) was the 1st-batch sacred object of Achan Od, who had sent takruts to his relatives, only to be turned away by them because his relatives didn't forgive him. Achan Od kept visiting them with sincerity, and eventually some of his relatives accepted his takruts.
Achan Od had given bullet takruts to five college students, who miraculously survived a car accident without any wound, while the car was heavily damaged.
As the efficacious story spread, more and more people came to Wat Sai Mai to enshrine Achan Od's bullet takruts, which caused a lack of bullet takruts and enhanced the takrut's value because of the shortage of material and the large amount of time taken to consecrate takruts.

Another efficacious story occurred in Pathum Thani Province that two gangs of boy students had a fierce fight. The police found one student was kept wholly unwounded although his clothes and pants were chopped up, which extremely amazed everybody on the scene.
Later it was reported that the safety and invulnerability of the student should be attributed to the blessing of Achan Od's bullet takrut the student wore. After this event the temple was often crowded with local people who wanted to enshrine Achan Od's takruts for the great protection, which also made the insufficiency of his takruts. Fortunately the problem solved after the army assisted in collecting empty bullet casings in shooting ranges.
