3 Sacred Walking

In Buddhism, it is traditional to circumambulate sacred structures as a form of meditation practice. This is called “Kora”. At the Monastery a beneficial practice would be to circumambulate the Buddha Statute, the Temple and the Stupas (also see “Balancing the Elements” above) . In this way you pay respect to the Body, Speech and Mind of the Buddha (and hence your own Buddha Nature). MAP
