“Master Sessan said: ‘In our daily life we should remember three things: joining the palms as in prayer; bowing as in worship; and charity. Joining the palms is the best practice for bringing the body and mind into a state of unity; the bow means honour and respect for others; charity is the basis for peace in society. If we practise them, it is certain that we shall in turn receive.’”
