Bowing my head to the east

through the darkness.

The journey cannot be described by words.

Complete stillness.

We visualize without knowing it; For telling.

Do you feel the gravitational pull of the Way.

Close your eyes….

When one bows in respect to all Buddhas, a feeling of reverence arises in your heart, and animates your actions and speech. You express this feeling by bowing to all Buddhas. The practice gets rid of both obstacles of arrogance and ego. When respect arises, you deepen your ‘good roots’ of reverence and faith.
