What is the Luang Phor Khun B.E. 2537 "Million Pidta" (Phra Pidta Jumbo Luang Phor Khun Run Sao 5 Khun Phan Lan)?
A Phra Pidta (พระปิดตา) is a Buddha figure covering his face with his hands, symbolising the closing of the senses to outside distraction. In Thai tradition it is worn for protection from misfortune and danger, and it is also regarded as an amulet that keeps wealth from slipping away. "Jumbo" (จัมโบ้) means this batch is larger than the usual size.
Luang Phor Khun Parisuttho (หลวงพ่อคูณ ปริสุทฺโธ) of Wat Ban Rai (วัดบ้านไร่), Nakhon Ratchasima, is known across Thailand as the "living god of wealth". This batch was made at Wat Ban Rai in B.E. 2537 and blessed on a Sao 5 day; its name, "Khun Phan Lan", plays on the multiplying meaning of the master's name. According to the supplier, it was made in small numbers and is one of Luang Phor Khun's most sought-after powder Pidta after his B.E. 2519 six-armed Pidta.

Who was Luang Phor Khun?

Born into a farming family, he was known for blessing devotees while squatting and tapping them on the head, and for giving the donations he received to schools, hospitals and public causes.

According to the supplier, after blessing this batch he said that anyone who wished to prosper should choose it.
