    Joining is to close the ten fingers, why do you close the ten fingers? This is to show our respect. The ten fingers represent all kinds of delusional and scattered mental states, and closing these ten fingers means that we should accept these kinds of delusional scattered minds and transform them into a pure and reverent heart, so as to express our most sincere respect.

    Old Master--- Gassho is also a mudra, what does it mean? Table one heart. Usually these ten fingers show that the heart is scattered, and the most respectful one takes back our scattered mind into one mind, so the gassho represents one mind.

    The palms should be tightly closed, and those who cannot be empty at the bottom should be closed, which represents one heart, and one heart is the most respectful.

    Therefore, in Buddhism, the mudra of gassho represents sincerity and respect, which means this. If our palms are so legitimate, this is not, if they don't fit, then the meaning of the expression is gone, and they must be very tightly combined, which is right.

    Putting hands together is not only a mudra, but also a ritual.

    Namaste is also known as gassho, that is, two palms are combined.

    It is a ritual practiced in India since ancient times, and Buddhism uses it to take the meaning of the ten dharma realm in one mind.

    When the ten are combined, concentrate on the ten fingers in your heart, and your heart is full of respectful worship. Show sincerity and respect to the other party.

    When the palms are closed, the back of the palm is slightly bowed, the palm is slightly bent, and a hole is formed between the two palms, which indicates the principle of vacuum, which means that we should realize emptiness.

    When the ten are closed, the two palms are closed in front of the chest, the ten fingers are together upward, the tip of the palm and the tip of the nose are basically flush, the palm is tilted outward, the head is slightly lowered, the expression is serene and serious, the meridians are unblocked, the life of the human body can be in the best state of perfection, persist for a long time, and the body is naturally safe and healthy.

    In Buddhist culture, there is a more detailed explanation of namaste, so I will not repeat it here.

    It can be said to be a mudra, and you can also understand him as a way of devotion.

    The human body is an innate instrument. There are two large acupuncture holes in the palms of the two hands, why can some people use the palms of their hands to exert exercise?

    For example, there are five thunder palms, and so on. Or empowerment,.

    But don't even think about that, now it's chaotic, and a lot of things, laws, tantric laws, and all kinds of inheritances are gone. In addition, Tibetan Esoteric and Buddhism are two different things, and those who believe in Tibetan Esoteric have to take refuge in Buddhism.

    We use the ritual of gassho almost every day, such as in front of the holy icon, and when meeting people, we also salute with palms. Gassho may seem simple, but it is actually a profound and broad Dharma. Just as the words of the Buddhist scriptures are deep, a sentence or even a word may have immeasurable meanings and realms.

    The universe is a big world, the human body is a small world, man is the epitome of the universe, and all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are cultivated from the human body. Therefore, gassho also contains the ten thousand laws of the universe. We can't just look at the gassho ceremony.

    1. Harmony stands for peace, friendship, solidarity and cooperation. Holding a fist or holding a ** in the hand indicates a fight. The hands are raised, showing that the bare hands are empty, that is, there is no intention of fighting.

    And because one hand can also hurt people, and now the two palms are together, there is no intention to hurt him. Ten fingers in one place. It represents the cohesion and unity of the forces of the ten parties.

    In addition, the ten fingers are combined in the heart, indicating sincerity, the so-called "ten fingers are connected to the heart".

    Furthermore, the ten fingers are usually scattered, representing scattered delusions, and now they are combined in one place, representing one mind. The Buddha said, "Control the mind in one place, and do nothing." And he said, "One mind is not confused," "One heart is one conversion."

    2. When closing the palms, we should bow slightly with the back of the palms and bend the palms slightly, so that a hole is formed between the two palms, which indicates the principle of vacuum, which means that we should realize emptiness.

    Gassho is also a type of Dharma seal, and if the palm is closed tightly without leaving a gap, it will become an outer way.

    3. Closing the palms at the heart, and the two palms are vertical, indicating the vertical and poor three times, referring to time; The palm back is slightly drummed, and it develops horizontally, indicating that it is all over the ten directions, referring to space. In this way, the universe is one, and all the dharmas are united into one mind. The fact that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can live in the Nian Universe for an immeasurable eon, and that they can travel through the Three Realms and all the Buddha Lands in the Nian Universe shows that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can use it freely in time and space and do whatever they want.
