Upālī Guṇūpamājahn, Tan Chao Khun (Mahā Jan Siricando) (1856-1932)
In his time, he was the most famous and brilliant monk in Siam. Widely respected by everyone, he was 14 years Luang Pu Mun's senior and was his most important teacher. He was probably the Wilderness Tradition's single biggest benefactor in the early days: he was a true spiritual friend to many, a preceptor for Luang Pu Waen and Luang Pu Dteu, and a powerful advocate for them all in Bangkok, where the elites initially distrusted and reviled them. Luang Pu Mun highly respected and praised him, telling his close disciples that Chao Khun Upālī was an arahant with all the attainments it was possible to have. For all his accomplishments, he was most well known for the excellence of his Dhamma teaching.

[Upālī Guṇūpamājahn] Zu seiner Zeit war er der berühmteste und hervorragenste Mönch in Siam. Weit respektiert von jedermann, war er 14 Jahre Luang Pu Muns Senior, und sein wichtigster Lehrer. Er wahr wahrscheinlich der Waldtraditions wichtigster einzelner Unterstützer, in ihren frühen Tagen. Er war ein spiritueller Freund für viele, ein Einweiser für Luang Pu Waen und Luang Pu Dteu, und ein kraftvoller Fürsprecher, für allen von ihnen, in Bangkok, wo die Elite ihnen anfänglich misstraute und sie verunglimpfte. Luang Pu Mun respektierte und lobte ihn höchst, seinen engen Schülern erzählend, daß Chao Khun Upālī ein mit allen möglichen Ausstattungen bestückter Arahat war. zu all den guten Nachsagen, war er als hervorragender Dhammalehrer bekannt.
