。此仪式一般是配合人缘经文和符号把金箔贴在一个人的脸上,以增强人缘和魅力。


It is also known as Na Nah Tong (Golden Face) Ritual in Thai.  Different monks or spiritual masters generally have their own way or mantra on this ritual.  Some uses up to 3,5,7, 9 or even more gold foils.  A lot of them combine with the Golden Tongue Bird Speech Enhancement Ritual (see other link).

在泰语也被称为“纳纳通”(金脸)仪式。不同僧人和俗人修行者所采用的方式有稍微不同。所用的金箔数目为3,5,7或9片甚至更多。一般上还会配合金舌鸟说服力增强仪式(可参考另一篇文章)。

For Thai monks performing such rituals, they are not allowed to come in contact with lady devotees and hence the pasting of gold foils are usually done by a helper.  In addition, the monks cannot rub the gold foils directly onto the forehead or face of lady devotees.  It is usually done by using a candle so that the hands of the monk need not come in direct contact with the skin of any lady devotees.  The monk may also draw the magical symbols on the gold foil paper and asks a helper to paste on lady devotees on his behalf.

由于泰国小乘佛教僧侣是不可触碰到女善信,所以当需要把金箔贴到女善信脸上时则需由另一个俗家帮手帮忙。同时,僧侣也不可以把金箔涂在女善信的额头或脸上。通常会使用蜡烛或其它工具来把金箔涂入脸上的肌肤,这样僧人的手就不会接触到女善信的肌肤。僧人有时也会把人缘符号画在金箔的外层纸上,然后由俗家帮手代劳贴到女善信脸上。
