| Abstract | The author describes in detail the devotional practice of reverential bowing, which to this day is popular among lay and monastic devotees of Mahayana Buddhism. The author recounts the history of the practice in China, where Buddhists grafted the Indian religious practice onto the secular practice of social etiquette. Rev. Heng Sure himself practiced day-long bowing in silence for five years, including two and half years spent as a pilgrim along the California Coast Highway. |
