Luang Phor Kasem was born on November 28, 2455 in a family of descendants of the
Lampang King from the Lanna Period.He became a samanera (novice monk) in the year BE2468 after the death of his uncle, then the abbot of Wat Bunyuen. In BE2470, he went to Bangkok at Wat Setuwan to study the Pali Cannon and after a few years, he returned back to the North to continue his Dhamma studies at Wat Seelom and Wat Bunyawaht. After passing his exams in Pali in the year BE476, he was ordained as a full fledged monk (bhikkhu) at the age of 21. His preceptor was Tan Chao Khun Dhammajindah.
When the abbot of Wat Nunyeun (Phra Dtomkum) left his post as the abbot and the temple was without an abbot, the villagers then approached young Luang Phor kasem (at that time he was in the forests, practicing deep meditation) to return to Lampang and take the position of the new abbot.

Luang Phor Kasem continued in his learning dhamma and the practice of meditation even when he was the abbot. The more he trained and practiced, the more he realized how uncertain life is. However, his studies as an abbot kept him busy the way, this was an obstacle for him as his intention was to develop his meditation and spiritual developments. Therefore, in BE2492, he left the Wat (Temple) and settled at Susahn Sahlahwangthan which is a cemetery surrounded in the midst of the jungles at Lampang suburbs. (That area was different from the now developed site, as we can see nowadays). Many villagers were scared to go near the cemetery and the surrounding areas as it was believed to be haunted. LP Kasem was very determined and kept practicing the meditation until he got to the highest stage. He would sit in front of the cemetery and watch the burning corpses. Whether it's unbearable heat or the down pour of the heavy rains. He would still continue to watch the dead corpses being burned to ashes. (Asubha Meditation)

Luang Phor Kasem would sit in deep meditation for as long as 3 months without any shelter under the intense heat of the sun or the thunderstorms .of the rains. Even though his robes were soaked during the down pour or during the cold seasons (November to February), temperatures in Northern Thailand can dropped below 10 Celcius . Luang Phor Kasem would sit quietly without any complaints . At times, he will abstain from eating for as long as 49 days. Since BE2514, he only bathed once a year but even then there was no foul smell coming from his body; even when he was sweating under the hot blazing sun.Even without a shelter or mosquito net, he never had mosquito bites!!
During his deep meditation, it was said that he was in touch with his friend (Luang Phor Doo of Wat Saket Ayutthaya).

| Luang Phor Kasem, in his meditation (telepathy) was able to communicate with Luang Phor Doo of Wat Saket, Ayutthaya |
Luang Phor Kasem always stressed that as a forest monk, he has no need for any property. The only requisites were an alms bowl, his robes and a piece of human bones (used for Asubha Meditation). He did not own any slippers or even a pillow to sleep on. To him, even a pillow was a luxury. He used to sleep on the ground (earth) exactly the same spot where he was meditating. Whatever people gave him, he would then donate them to other monks. He was very determined to find the Truth and to attained Nibbana!!!
He asked for nothing in life. Even though he was a descendant of royal blood of Lampang where if he choose.. the life of luxury could always be his..
Luang Phor Kasem passed away on 15th January BE2539 (7.42 PM) at the Lampang hospital. A memorial and mausoleum were built at the area nearby the cemetery and his dead body was kept in a glass coffin at Wat SusanTriLuck.
