In 1962 LuengPhu Sri Mahawiroa started to live in Ban Koa Temple (Phakung Temple). At the time, it was a deserted temple. It was very wild and old. It was 200 years old. Nobody went there, because they were afraid of ghosts and magic art. Before the temple was built, LuangPhusir invited PhraAjarn Sing Khantayakamo and PhraAjarnMahaBuaYannasoomPunno to come and see the land for building the temple.
