In Buddhism, we say “Zumen Sessoku Kimyou Rai.” Holding the Buddha’s feet in both our hands, as well as the tops of our heads touching the Buddha’s feet, are important posturing for us. Doing so is the most respectable posturing we can make to the Buddha. It is a posturing to abolish personal arrogance and selfishness naturally, thus becoming humble, compliant, and deeply grateful. As we say, “Zange Kimyo.” What this means is that we make a deep and sincere apologetic resolve for all our past wrongdoings and misdeeds, and take refuge in the Buddha.
