The posture of a Buddhist practitioner.
1 / Behavior and Conduct
The Buddha calls manners posture and virtue. Behavior is acts of gestures, words, and daily dress. Conduct is a streak of character. The person whose behavior is right, serious, and has a gentle, cheerful, courteous and polite character, is praised as a good virtue. On the contrary, if the person acts, gestures are rude, indecent, and has a rude, aggressive, evil streak, no one wants to be near.
Xa Hi
When meeting monks or fellow believers, clasp their hands in salute as follows:
Stand upright, feet closed in a V-shape, hands folded across front of chest, 10 fingers facing up. When the hands are not puffed between the hands, the fingers are not staggered, not across the mouth, the hands are not swooping down.
Before the amnesty, the hands are clasped in front of the chest, while the upper body is resting at an angle of about 60 degrees.
Do not stand more than 3 meters away. Not standing on top of the amnesty down, not sitting in the amnesty, not walking while amnesty, not having one hand, not holding objects in the amnesty hand, being working or having dirty hands not being amnesty, not amnesty in the manner of surgery. When the Buddhist comes to the temple and leaves, he must greet the abbot.

When you hear the bell, then bow down, listen to the bell, then get up. Do not stand in the middle of the main hall to celebrate. Do not pass by where people are celebrating. Do not go to the platform of the monks to celebrate.
When monks are eating rice, shaving their hair, reciting the sutras, working, and doing business, they are not allowed to do ceremonies.
Posture when prostrating: Adjust body seriously, legs closed in a V-shape, hands from a solemn clasping posture in front of chest slowly bring up to forehead, bend down, put hands on the ground, then raise hands and his forehead touched the ground between his hands. Your whole body must be on the ground, feet stretched, buttocks touching on heels. That is called "The Five Apples to the Land."
When standing up, the right hand is on the ground, the left hand holds the position of clasping, slowly bringing the body back to the original position, at the same time amnesty.
Kneeling posture: Right back, head slightly down, hands clasped in front of chest.
General Go
The Buddhist must be gentle and mature, whether indoors or on the street, always have to keep the general upright and dignified but not lose its natural look. Not walking and dancing, not glancing at the sides, or singing loudly, not slouching, not walking on tiptoes, not walking while holding hands up and down too high, neither walking while wearing or undressing.
Must give way to the adults to go first. Do not walk in front of the master, not walk shoulder to shoulder with the master, have to walk behind the master. Get in the car, must yield to the elderly and frail first. Do not jostle, push for noisy place to lose the status of Buddhists.
The Experience
Two hands clasped solemnly in front of his chest, did not shake his shoulders, tilted his head slightly, his eyes looked down, not looking at either side. Go clockwise Buddha from left to right, when rotating also rotate clockwise.
General Standing
Not standing leaning against the wall, leaning on a chair, leaning on a pillar, not standing hunched over, not standing leaning on his hips. When you are talking to monks, you should stand seriously, your feet in a V-shape, hands clasped or down. During the ceremony, the chanting must stand upright, hands clasped in front of the chest. Not going back and forth, I glanced back and forth, not going back and forth to cause disorder.
Do not stand up high to talk or call on monks from below.
General Sitting
If sitting on a chair, you must sit upright, your legs are hanging down so that they are neatly on the ground. When sitting without tilting his head, neck, no hunched over, not leaning back, leaning on his side, not sitting face-down on a table, not squatting on a chair, not sitting with pentagrams, not shaking thighs, not swaying two feet, do not rest feet on chairs or tables.
When chanting, the meditation must sit upright, back straight like a wall. There are two ways of sitting:
- Crossing: Left foot on right thigh and right foot on left thigh (pulled close to body). The right hand is placed on the back of the left hand, the thumb tips are touching.
- Semi-old: Left foot on right thigh or right foot on left thigh. The right hand is on the back of the left hand, the thumbs touch each other.
If you are sitting freely if you see monks passing by, you must get up and say hello.
Do not sit and talk while monks are standing (or meditating, reciting Buddha's name).
When contacting the teacher, he allowed to sit, not to sit in front of himself.
General Ly
When you are sleeping or resting, do not lie on your left side, because the heart is on the left side of the chest, the heart will be compressed, the blood will not flow, easily leading to nightmares, (may lie on your back with body straight, legs closed, hands on abdomen or stretched, so cover the lower abdomen with a blanket to discreetly). Do not lie on your stomach because the lungs are forced to make it difficult to breathe.
Lying in the sandy posture means lying on your right side with your limbs outstretched (like the posture of the Buddha entering Nirvana), this is a peaceful, nice way that is both elegant and beneficial for health.
General Eat
In the temple, when eating rice, we have to make offerings. The general public wears robes, when sitting, remember to tidy up the back lapels, note that the sleeves are wide, do not touch food.
2 / How To Offer Too Much Sugar
The right hand presses the sand seal:
The thumb resting on the ring finger is closed in the palm of the hand, the remaining three fingers are straight up. Left hand: The middle finger and ring finger shrink, the remaining three fingers straighten up, forming a tripod, placing the cup in the middle. The left hand raises the bowl to the level of his forehead, the right hand holds the seal across the mouth of the cup.
Tam topic, five shops:
Before eating three tablespoons and following the five Dharma, use two hands to lift the bowl across the forehead, each hand only use three fingers: thumb, index finger and middle finger. Then put the bowl on the left hand palm, right hand hold the spoon to scoop three tablespoons of tamarind rice. Then put the spoon in the bowl, the spoon face down and face forward, the right hand is under the left hand, raise the bowl across the hydroelectricity, silently recite the five elements.
Before eating, you should wash your hands. Must sit upright and steady, should not bow close to the table, face close to the cup that soup and rice. When eating, you should not talk about rice. Do not scratch your head, causing dust to fly past other people, or into food. When sneezing or choking on rice, they must turn back to avoid spraying on people sitting near. Should not spit, burp loudly, (when you yawn, you must cover your mouth with your hands), minimize the sound of eating and drinking, do not open your mouth while waiting for rice, when you floss your teeth, cover your mouth. In the rice, there are ants that must be discreetly picked up so that people sitting near to see them. There are delicious dishes on the table that are not good, do not give up greed, pick up the delicious dishes, overwhelm other people but criticize the bad dish. Need something out of reach, signal to ask someone to transfer, do not call loudly or get up to get food. When eating well, sniffling tongue compliments that it's delicious and bad, should shop to treat thin illness. When drinking water should pour into a bowl, both hands lift up the bowl to drink slowly. After finishing eating, we must wait for everyone to finish eating together, and get up once.
Living in a family or among them must correctly apply the phrase "Mutual benefits", that is to share and benefit fairly, not to gain more.
3 / The Way of Praising and Praising
Buddhists have a predestined desire to offer monks or make offerings, first of all be sincere, wearing a robe, holding the ceremony tray on top of placing offerings. The white work invites the Sangha or makes offerings in accordance with the ritual (bowing one prostration, getting up and then kneeling down to work the white paper, or standing solemnly in amnesty and then working on the white paper). After the monks have recharged their life, do three prostrations and then retreat.
Making offerings to the Three Jewels is the duty of lay Buddhists, in order to contribute to maintaining the Three Jewels and promoting Buddhism. When making offerings, you should put the net wealth into a small plate on the table, do not hold money in your hand or put it in the monk's pocket (impolite).
4 / How to Dress
Buddhists should wear elegant, discreet clothes that are suitable for stature, not too tight or too wide, do not use colorful colors, flashy flowers, don't wear too thin fabrics, not wear stylish clothes. bizarre, revealing, erotic.

Should not ignore the shortcomings of other people in terms of manners.
