What is the Luang Pu To Phra Pidta Jumbo 2 (พระปิดตาหลวงปู่โต๊ะ พิมพ์ใหญ่ จัมโบ้ 2)?
The Phra Pidta (พระปิดตา) is a Buddha figure covering its face with both hands, eyes closed in meditation, a symbol of closing the senses to focus on practice. In Thailand it is worn above all for keeping wealth, warding off danger and avoiding misfortune. Luang Pu To (หลวงปู่โต๊ะ) of Wat Pradu Chimphli (วัดประดู่ฉิมพลี), Bangkok, made some of the most sought-after powder Pidta amulets in Thailand.
"จัมโบ้" (Jumbo) is the popular name for this batch of large Pidta amulets. The certificate records the piece as "พิมพ์ใหญ่ (จัมโบ้ 2)", the large mold of the second Jumbo batch, and the "ยันต์สุกิตติมา" (Sukittima yantra) is this batch's back design. Jumbo 2 was made in several powder mixes; this piece is the incense-ash powder (เนื้อผงธูป) version named on the certificate.

Who was Luang Pu To?
Luang Pu To of Wat Pradu Chimphli in Bangkok was renowned for deep meditation and strict discipline, and his Pidta and portrait amulets rank highly with Thai collectors. According to the supplier, the Jumbo 2 pieces were kept and blessed in his meditation quarters for about three years (B.E. 2521 to 2523) before being given to devotees. They were made from old scripture, flower and incense-ash powders mixed with powder from early Somdej and other old amulets and with the master's handwritten scripture powder, and some have a handwritten takrut set into the base.
Blessings

Many stories circulate of Jumbo 2 wearers coming through danger unharmed. These are traditional accounts and do not mean any wearer will have the same experience.
