Many of the Shomyo, or Buddhist hymns, that priests sing, contain the phrase “I shin kyo rai” (Jpn), which means “with our whole heart we bow.” With our whole heart we bow to the Three Treasures, not the One Treasure, not the Two Treasures, but to all Three Treasures.

“Our own bowing and the Buddhas who are bowed to are all originally within one mind in which there is no bowing and no one to receive it. Although there is no bowing and no one to receive it there is certainly the response of the Buddhas and the receptivity of the ordinary people.”
