- Description
- Buddhist temples practice a fascinating tattoing tradition called Sak Yant. Sak Yant are usually performed by a monk or holy man with a bamboo stick. Different tattos have different powers and usages. In this video, Ajahn Thoy goes into trance and dons the mask he is wearing before performing the Sak Yant. After finishing the tattoo he says an incantation over the tattoo and gives a mantra to the recipient. This Sak Yant was performed at Wat Tong Nae in Bangkok.
