Phra Nekkhammamuni (Luang Pu Kan Thitthammo) His original name was Kan Duangden. He was born on Wednesday, August 11, 1920, the Year of the Monkey, in Ban Phong Pheng, Phong Pheng Subdistrict, Pa Mok District, Ang Thong Province. His father was Chiam Duangden and his mother was Kun Duangden. He completed third grade at a public school in Ang Thong Province. He has three siblings, with Luang Pu being the middle child. Later, both of Luang Pu's older and younger brothers became monks. When he reached the age of 20, his parents ordained him as a monk according to tradition in 1940 at the boundary marker of Wat Thanon Sutharam, Phong Pheng Subdistrict, Pa Mok District, Ang Thong Province. In 1944, he passed the highest level of the Dhamma examination. In 1957, Mr. Bak Seng Sae Ue donated the land he had previously owned to Luang Pu Kan. On September 24, 1962, Luang Pu requested permission to build a temple legally, and received the royal charter on July 10, 1972. The temple was officially named "Wat Ratchai Ton Banphot," or "Wat Ton Ket," as the locals called it. Later, His Majesty the King His Majesty granted permission to place their royal names and royal titles on the gable of the ordination hall. He also planted a Sri Trang tree in front of the ordination hall on June 9, 1974. After the temple was built as a place for Luang Pu's Dhamma practice and for the general public, Luang Pu Kan never moved to another temple. Luang Pu Kan was a compassionate and revered senior monk, revered by both monastic and lay disciples. This is evident in the flow of Buddhists on important Buddhist holidays, where they flock to the temple to perform candlelight processions, listen to sermons, and listen to Luang Pu's teachings. Even on Chinese New Year, traditional holidays, and on Luang Pu Kan's birthday and other important occasions, senior monks regularly chant blessings for Luang Pu Kan.
