Arjan Dech is one of the top
sakyant masters in Thailand today who is highly talented in the
spiritual art of tattoo. He is currently very popular and well
known to many people in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. He has
been very keen in Buddhism when he was just a boy. When he was
fifteen years old, he became the student of the famous monk, Luang
Pu Lui of Wat Lak Yo Tha. Luang Pu Lui taught young Arjan Dech the
mysterious art of sacred tattoos and magical incantations.
Following the traditional practice of the Thai, young Arjan Dech
entered into a short term monk hood. The ordination ceremony was
held at Wat Nak Pho Paseet Cher-laang and was conducted by his
mentor Luang Pu Lui personally.
After when Arjan Dech returned
from monk hood, he continued to stay in Wat Lak Yo Tha and learned
from Luang Pu Lui. Having a strong determination and a positive
learning attitude, Arjan Dech learned and practiced hard on what he
was taught by his mentor. It was at this time that Arjan Dech
received his first yant tattoo from his teacher Luang Pu Lui. Five
years later when Arjan Dech turned twenty and being very sure that
Arjan Dech has mastered what he was taught, Luang Pu Lui allowed
Arjan Dech to start sakyant for people in Wat Lak Yo Tha. Since
then, many people had been approaching Arjan Dech for yant
tattoos.
Two years later Arjan Dech left
Wat Lak Yo Tha and started to tattoo for people at his own place.
Many people continue to come to him for sakyant. It was said and
claimed by many people that upon receiving the yant tattoos from
Arjan Dech, their problems gradually dissolved and things seems to
be moving smoothly. Others also said that their luck turning better
after getting a yant tattoo done by Arjan Dech. There are many
peoples like government officers, those from very rich families and
royal bodyguards, came requesting Arjan Dech for protective yant
tattoos and also yant tattoos that bring them higher authority
power over the others. Some would go for the practice of having
blessed gold foils pasted on their faces and certain area of the
body, hence increasing their level of popularity and improving
their social relationship with people.
It was by chance that Arjan Dech
met Luang Phor Ord of Wat UpsornSawan. Arjan Dech received
teachings from Luang Phor Ord. Luang Phor Ord teaches him many
magical incantations and chanting. Later Arjan Dech was invited to
go Malaysia and Singapore. He was received and welcomed by many
devotees. It was said that within a few days stay in Malaysia and
Singapore, he has already attracted more than thousand people to
come paying their respect to him.
According to many people, they
described Arjan Dech as a nice and approachable master. He is
highly skilful in sakyant and always been very careful and
professional when doing tattoos for them. Many people like the
Hanuman and tiger tattoos that Arjan Dech did. Apart that they are
neat and beautiful, they look lively and vigorous. Eventually when
the tattoos have been blessed by Arjan Dech, they turned into
powerful sacred yant tattoos – more than just ordinary
tattoos.
Other than sakyant, Arjan Dech is
also specialized in the magical practice of using the hermit mask
(Khon in Thai) to get rid of all the negative energies and bad luck
accumulating around a person. Arjan Dech would recited a magical
incantation (Katha in Thai) to help enhancing one’s luck and
popularity, as well as protecting them from evil harms. Arjan Dech
has also chanted many amulets for charisma which also protect
wearers from danger. As such, today Arjan Dech has been regarded by
many people as a top senior master for sakyant and wicha (term for
magic in Thai).
