Luang Phor Nien of the Wat Ban Kaset Thung Setthi temple in Roi Et Province released this Phra Pidta amulet. Practically, a Thai amulet user called Phra Kawambodi in the plain word "Phra Pidta," which means the monk lifting his hands and covering his eyes. Phra Pidta has been made in several forms by the monk of great fortune, Sangkajai, who lived during the time of the Lord Buddha, around 2500 years ago. 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. The amulets are made of metal materials for self-attractiveness, fortune, obscurity, or invulnerability.

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

Phra Pidta is an amulet with a monk sitting in a full or half-lotus position and with his hands covering his eyes and face, a style that has become very popular among Thai Buddhists and other Buddhists across the world as well. Phra Pidta means "closes or covers its eyes" in Thai and is also known as the "closed-eyes Buddha." It is one of the Thai people's favorite kinds of Buddha amulets. Phra Pidta represents a venerable monk known for deep samadhi meditation (absorption) during Gautama Buddha's era. This batch of Phra Pidta amulets is consecrated to bring wealth and improve business and abundance, apart from Phra Pidta's ability.
