What is the Luang Pu To Phra Pidta?
A Phra Pidta (พระปิดตา) shows the Buddha covering his face with his hands, a symbol of closing the senses and turning inward. In Thai tradition it is worn to guard and gather wealth and to avoid danger. Luang Pu To (หลวงปู่โต๊ะ) of Wat Pradu Chimphli (วัดประดู่ฉิมพลี), on the Thonburi side of Bangkok, was a revered meditation master, and his Pidta and powder amulets are well known to Thai collectors.
According to the supplier, this piece belongs to Luang Pu To's "Bo Ni In Na" batch, first blessed in B.E. 2521 (1978). "Bo Ni" means clearing debts, hence the nicknames "debt-clearing Pidta" and "debts cleared"; the full name translates as great wealth and plenty. The supplier describes it as one of Luang Pu To's most representative Pidta and a mainstream batch among Thai collectors.

A story told about this batch: according to the supplier, soon after the first blessing a devotee whose business was struggling took one home, his business gradually recovered, and more people came to the temple for the batch, which is how it became known as the debt-clearing Pidta. This is a story in circulation, not a promise of the same result.
Please note: an amulet supports your own efforts and intentions; it does not guarantee any outcome and is no substitute for financial planning. Keeping the Five Precepts is traditionally encouraged.
