This amulet is released by by Luang Phor Key at Wat Sri Lamyong temple, located in Surin Province. The figure of Phra Pidta has been made in two transformed forms from the monk of great fortune, as he was called Sangkajai for short, who lived in the Lord Buddha’s time around 2500 years ago. The name Phra Sangkajai has several pronunciations in Thai and Pali, which means the monk who does not look like Lord Buddha. After Sangkajai had magically transformed his body, he was called Kawampati. Practically, Thai amulet user called Phra Kawambodi in the plain word as “Phra Pidta” which means the monk lifting his hands covering his eyes. Phra Pidta is made of various materials and is aimed at 3 main purposes.

For self attractiveness and fortune, the amulets are made of white holy-powder plaster. For self-protection and fortune effects, the amulets are made of holy powder plaster mixed with black lacquer. For impenetrability or invulnerability, the amulets are made of various metal materials. In the past, materials such as ivory tusk and wood were also used to make. The figure of Phra Pidta is easy to recognize for he has a round bald head with or without a big belly, but both his hands are lifted up to cover his eyes. For another figure of Phra Pidtawan (we also called it as Phra Pidta in short) it has a more magnificent form.

Nowadays, many temples give their new batch of amulets in many different verbs of names to call, after the name of Phra Pidta. Normally, Phra Pidtawan has more than two hands it is frequently made 3 - 4 pairs of hands. The first pair covers his both eyes. The second pair covers his both ears while the third pair moves downward and bends to cover his anus. And, there may be the fourth pair to covers the navel. The answer is that the primary gate of all sufferings of human is caused by our own sensory perception organs, that is eyes, ears, nose, tongue, trunk and mind. Phra Pidtawan in Thai, "Phra" means a monk figure; Pid means to close or to cover; tawan means vents or outlets, is hinting at controlling those organs by covering them to prevent all sufferings to enter.
