Spirit of Light
Be who ever you want
The other day i was in the town for a little shopping when a small group of buddhist monks come walking toward me. As a Buddhist i feel it is a way of respecting the monks to greeting them with raising my hands together toward my forhead and give a slight bow.
The monks who already know who i am stoped and did the same toward me and they took time to ask how i was doing.
But the strange thing is that my fellow norwegian citizens looked strange at me and start talking.
I know Buddhism is not a big religion/way of life. but why is it so strange for some people that we want to greet the monks?
Have you similar experience from your own path?
