•The Legend of Phra Pidta (Buddha Closed Eyes) Amulet:
The Pidta style amulet, with a monk sitting in full or half-lotus position and with his hands covering his eyes and face, is a style that has become very popular among Thai Buddhists, but other Buddhists across the world as well.
Phra Pidta, meaning closes or covers its eyes in Thai, also known as “closed eyes Buddha”. There are few types of Phra Pidta in Thai, with four arms, six arms or fully covered with mantras.
It is one of the favorite kind of Buddha amulets of Thai citizens. Phra Pidta is a representation of a venerable monk well known for deep samadhi meditation (absorption) during Gotham Buddha’s time more than 2,550 years ago.
•Why Is Phra Pidta Holding His Hands Over His Eyes in Amulets?
Hands over the eyes symbolizes a “blocking out” of the outside world during intense Sammabart meditation. This is jhana level meditation which can also cross-over into Abhinna.
Abhinna are supernatural experiences which people meditating in the fourth Jhana can sometimes attain. People buy these amulets to increase their wealth primarily.
Business prosperity is a major benefit of this amulet. Yet, there are said to be many benefits of the amulets including good luck and protection from harm of all sorts.

She is a very special angel in my life who constantly shared her unconditional love with me. She is my inspiration and emotional crutch even today… and will always be, as she is forever with me. Our bodies fade, but the energy of our love and connection goes on eternally. I love you Toffee. Forever. Until we meet again.
