YANT PHRA PIDTA

ยันต์พระปิดตา

Meaning:
The closed eyes of Phra Pidta symbolise turning away from external distractions, emotions and worldly disturbances in order to remain calm and focused within.

Some experts believe that this image developed from representations of Phra Sangajayana, also known as Phra Gavampati, a revered Buddhist monk associated with meditation, inner peace and spiritual abundance.

The name is commonly explained as:
Phra = monk or sacred Buddhist figure
Pid = to close
Ta = eyes

Phra Pidta is therefore understood as the “Closed-Eyes Buddha” or “the monk who covers his eyes.” In Thai amulet tradition, the image is also associated with protection, good fortune and the blocking of negative influences.
