My research assistant is pictured here receiving a water blessing by a Buddhist monk. She had suffered a series of illnesses and motorbike accidents and a kru hakom (a type of spiritual leader) had a vision that she would suffer another, more serious, affliction in the future. As prophylaxis, she asked the monk to bless her, and cleanse her, with water, after which she felt lighter and less afraid of her future.
