    Sak Yant – Paed Tidt – Eight Direction Yant

    By admin | March 6, 2010

    The Sak Yant design ‘Paed Tidt’ or Eight Direction Yant is a sacred Geometric Yant containing eight Mantras written in 2 concentric circles in the centre of the design. The design of the Paed Tidt Yant also incorporates eight representations of the Buddha. These are the groups of 3 ovals each increasing in size from the top. In Thailand, there is a Buddha image, each one in a different pose, for every day of the week. (On Wednesdays there are 2 Buddhas, one for the morning and one for the evening) and these 8 Buddha Images can be seen in many Thai temples, usually surrounding a Chedi.

    The Paed Tidt Yant will give you protection in whichever direction you are traveling and ward off evil spirits. The script used on the Paed Tidt Yant is an ancient Khmer script known as Khom. The Mantras written in the Paed Tidt Yant and which should be chanted when going out to give further protection are as follows. (See below for information about the days of the week shown in our chart )

    If you take the first syllable from each of the first four Mantras above it will read ‘i ti bi soe’. It is for this reason that the Paed Tidt Eight Direction Yant is sometimes known as the “itibisoe Paed Tidt Yant” or simply the “itibisoe Yant”. These same Mantras or Kathas can be found in several other Sak Yant designs apart from the Paed Tidt Yant.

    Thai Buddhists will also recite these same mantras that are written on the Paed Tidt Yant on the appropriate day of the week. In Thailand there is also a different color assigned to each day of the week.

    We would like to thank Phra Ajarn Gamtorn for allowing us to photograph his work and for giving us information about the Paed Tidt Yant and www.sak-yant.com for the anglicization of the Khom script.
