What is the Luang Pho Jued two-sided Pidta (Phra Pidta Luang Pho Jued Song Na)?
Phra Pidta (พระปิดตา) is a Buddha figure covering its face with both hands, a symbol of turning inward and closing the senses to outside disturbance. In Thai tradition it is worn to hold on to wealth, ward off danger and keep troublemakers away. Luang Pho Jued (หลวงพ่อจืด) is a monk of Wat Pho Setthi Wanaram (วัดโพธิ์เศรษฐีวนาราม), Nakhon Pathom, and this Pidta was issued by that temple.
The batch name "มหาระรวย 8 ทิศ" (Maha Ruai 8 Thit) means great wealth from all eight directions. "สองหน้า" (Song Na) means two-sided: both faces carry a Pidta figure, which is less common than single-sided pieces. This is the large mold (พิมพ์ใหญ่).

FAQ
Q: How are the master, temple and batch confirmed?
A: The Thai Buddha Image Admiration Association formal certificate reads "พระปิดตาหลวงพ่อจืด รุ่นมหาระรวย 8 ทิศ พิมพ์ใหญ่สองหน้า เนื้อผง พ.ศ. 2556": Luang Pho Jued Pidta, Maha Ruai 8 Thit batch, large two-sided mold, sacred powder, B.E. 2556, from "วัดโพธิ์เศรษฐีวนาราม", Nakhon Pathom, No. PM01265.
Q: How does a two-sided Pidta differ from a single-sided one?
A: A two-sided Pidta has the figure on both faces. Within the same batch it is usually scarcer than the single-sided version and is popular with Pidta collectors.
Q: Can I wear a powder amulet every day?
A: Yes, it is in a waterproof case. Powder dislikes long soaking, so replace the case if it ever cracks.
Q: Who is it suited to?
A: People in business who want to hold on to their money, anyone dealing with workplace gossip or difficult people, frequent travellers, and Pidta collectors.
Q: Why do I request first and pay later?
A: This piece is held by a partner supplier rather than in our Bangkok stock. So that nobody pays for a piece that has already gone, we confirm with the supplier first and reply by email within 24 hours. If it is available, the email includes a payment link valid for 24 hours.
