He had accumulated plenty blessings and virtues in his past lifetimes when he was still a human. During one of his past life, he practiced Buddhism with other monks.

At one night, the place was ooded and the monks were almost drowned. Buddha immediately sent Phra Pidta to stop the water ow and save the monks. From then on, men in heaven and the mortal were convinced of his ability and respected him. In his another past life, he always worshiped Buddha and eminent monks with fresh owers.

He was a child to a cattle raising family. In mornings, he often saw a mendicant monk meditating at a free ground. He knew it must be hard for the monk to meditate under hot sun.

Many worshipers loved him very much. Even some of them mistaken him for Buddha. These had become barriers to his practice. Rumors about female worshipers had better hospitality to him because of his handsome appearance were spread.

There was even saying he had aair with the female. Thus to avoid these rumors from spreading again, Phra Pidta used his supernatural power to change his outlook and became ugly, short or fat.

However, these couldnt change their enthusiasm to him. Therefore he closed his eyes in long time, ignoring peoples words and attitude, with all focus in his practice. Since then, Phra Pidtas facial image is made into the one we see now, covering his eyes signifying to cover up the six roots of sensations: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and desire to free from human desires and passions.
