Let's check them clearly here.

Exploring the spiritual powers of the three popular "Phra Pidta" types.

In the amulet community, Phra Pidta amulets are divided into three main categories based on Buddhist occult beliefs as follows.

1. Phra Pidta Maha Lap (face only closed type) – Strong in mercy and wealth attraction.

This is the most commonly seen type, characterized by both hands covering only the face (the eyes).

Notable spiritual powers: This Phra Pidta type is especially prominent in "great charm and popularity." It is believed that those who carry it attract affection and are beloved by elders and those around them. It is suitable for

  • businesspeople and merchants: It enhances fortune in trade and turns anything touched into gold.
  • Negotiation skills : help ensure smooth and successful discussions without obstacles.
  • Wealth attraction and luck: It is believed to open the way for sudden fortunes and continuous luck to flow in.

2. Phra Pidta Maha Ut (nine orifices closed type) – Great power, invulnerability, and highest protection.

Its distinctive feature is both hands covering the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and both anal and urinary orifices (total nine openings), symbolizing closure or sealing to prevent enemies from causing harm. Its key powers include:

  • Invulnerability: Protects against weapons, sharp objects, guns, and crossbows.
  • Safety and escape: Helps the wearer miraculously avoid accidents or critical dangers.
  • Great power: Enhances authority and prestige, inspiring respect—ideal for those in leadership or government service.
  • Protection from black magic: Blocks dark spells and evil influences from disturbing one’s fate.

3. Phra Pidta in the squatting posture – The ultimate amulet for resilience, countering black magic and remedying bad luck.

Among the Phra Pidta family that Buddhist occult collectors must carry, the "Phra Pidta in the squatting posture" is considered the most distinctive and powerful, often found as a small talisman or Southern-style Phra Pidta (Khao Or lineage). The Buddha figure is seated in a ready posture, also called the "buttock-connected" type, which symbolizes protection and counteraction against invading negative forces.It is widely renownedas a "diamond armor" for self-protection, especially with spiritual powers such as:

  • Protection against black magic: It excels at warding off dark magic, sudden unseen forces, and occult attacks sent without the wearer's awareness.(Note: the phrase "ไม่รูัตัว" indicates attacks sent secretly or without realization.)
  • Remedying bad luck: Believed to dispel evil (unlucky) influences from one's fate, transforming misfortune into good fortune.
  • Great power and safety: Its talismanic inscriptions and consecrations emphasize resilience, helping the wearer avoid all dangers and weapons.
  • Reflection power: It possesses the ability to "reflect" bad intentions or harmful wishes back to their senders.

Regardless of the Phra Pidta type worshiped, the key is to "restrain body, speech, and mind" according to the Buddha's teachings and diligently maintainmoral conduct,especially refraining from speaking ill of ancestors, to ensure the spiritual powers manifest quickly and lastingly.
