When the lifetime of such a great monk becomes the Iconic Symbol of a temple, there is sometimes an 'overshadowing effect' on thos Master Monks who follow. This is something that causes us devotees to overlook the great masters who came before, and who come after the most famous names.

Both Luang Phu Rerm and Luang Phu Tim have been the major focus of most of the amulets he has released, with various monk coins in their image, and lockets , for Bucha to these Guru Masters. This edition differs in its dedication of the monk coins to being the first ever edition in the image of Luang Por Gong Dtueang. The amulets of Pra Atigarn Jaleuk have received instant acclaim asnd documentation in the Tamniab Pra Niyom Say Gaeji Ajarn Chonburi, and are classed as part of the Pantheon of the family of Luang Phu Tim related temples.

The name of the temple of Wat Juk Gracher, is also the only temple with this name in the country. This is because of an olden days folklore of a place in the forest in what is now known as Bang Lamung (Chonburi), there was a place where woodcutters and hunters and other people who lived in the forests would have some huts, which was known as 'Juk Gacher'. The word 'Gacher' comes from ancient Khmer, and means 'Tree'.

There is something about the temple of Wat Juk Gacher, that is told by the faithful devotees of Luang Por Rerm, which is indicative of Luang Por Rerm's great purity of practice as a Monk, which recodrs that all of the abbots who stayed at Wat Juk Gacher before Luang Por Rerm, disrobed and left the Sangha. It is said by believers, that only Luang Por Tong the original developer of the temple, Luang Por Khan and LP Rerm did not disrobe.

Only Luang Por Rerm and Luang Por Khan, and the succeeding abbots to date remained until their deaths at the temple None of the abbots before them stayed to the end of their lives. The reason is said to be that the temple was built in a very haunted and wild area of forest, and that only a monk who was able to keep a high practice of purity would be able to survive the temple without disrobing.

These amulets are Modern Collectors Classics for the Chonburi Province Amulet Pantheon Collector; Many aficionados collect by regional areas, Chonburi and Rayong Provinces being amongst the most preferred Regions for master-Class Amulets. This is part of the reason we may notice that many of thje great All-Time Masters seem to come from Chonburi or Rayong, such as Luang Phu Rerm, Luang Por Niyom, Luang Phu Tim, Luang Phu Sin, Luang Por Sakorn, Luang Phu Gaew, Jao Khun Sri, Luang Por Ee.
