The couples
believe that laying briefly in the coffin will get rid of bad luck and usher in
happiness into their lives.
Participants made offerings before taking their places side-by-side in the
the large pink coffin-floral bouquets held to their chests. The monks then draped a large white sheet across them-representing their death-and performed chants usually
reserved for funerals. The prayer ended with the blessings of a new life.
