In the middle of the ritual, 3 senior monks came and sat in the corner of the front stage.
While a monk was reading some praying documents, they showed their hands in various forms.
The 3 monks who showed their various hand performance looked high ranking monks.
Each form of the hands must have had a specific meaning in my view.
They changed the forms of their hands according to the praying.
I asked the meaning of those various forms of the hands to somebody sitting near me, but no one answered my question.
Only one man who sat besides me told that those actions seemed to reproduce Buddha’s teaching when Buddha was alive.
So he estimated that the hands performance would express the teachings of Buddha.
There were saying in Buddhism that the real truth, the teaching of Buddha, could not be taught by the words, as like the reflection of the moon on the surface in the bowl showed real appearance that the moon on the sky.
In this point of view, the hand performances by the senior monks told us the real truth of Buddhism.
Even though I couldn’t understand the meaning of the hand performance, every move was touching.
The hand performance was unique and interesting experience for me.

Did you feel something while looking at their performance ?
If you did, you must be very talented in Buddhist cultivation.
You need to go to the temple.
Some of them could be mudras. They are supposed to direct the energy in the body.
Interesting info... those hand gestures can really have significant meaning.
I think so
The grouping of these priests and the long stretches of involvement in what they do must be noteworthy for individuals who don't think about those societies, it is as yet a superb excursion to learn new things, the photographs are incredible I adore what you do!..@resteemit
@slowwalker, Such spiritual photo clicks you took and uploaded there. That's various experience to myself. Those senior three monks, nicely showing to others. Also they reproduced Buddha's teaching better.
In Hinduism we have many such hand positions and traditions.
really
I d like to know about that
Try a quick Google search for "Mudras".
Also I really enjoy your posts mate: keep 'em coming!
Interesting post about hand performance .
yes it was
Amazing photography@slowwalker, i like it,always passion and success always.
I would love to experience the monastic life in South Korea one day. I stayed at the Korea Temple in Lumbini Nepal two years ago.
It must be a nice experience
Yes it was. Everyone was helpful and kind. It was peaceful and I learnt a lot.
Thanks for sharing the pictures slowwalker =)
And no, I don't understand those hand gestures either but I'm sure that it means something.
Yes It must be
The concentration of these monks and the years of experience in what they do must be impressive for people who do not know about those cultures, it is still an excellent trip to learn new things, the photos are great I love what you do!
thank you so much

I was curious about what the three senior monks were doing, the hand movements with and the way they sat.
It is so obvious that the hand and its gestures have such a great meaning and significant effect on the culture..good to see you share this @slowwalker
I don't think I'll be going to the temple very soon, but I do appreciate the depth of their belief and dedication.
Hand gestures and body gestures are important parts of human expression (as well as of other animals in nature), and I assume it makes sense that gestures are an integral part of a prayer or a ritual.
Can you tell me, though, what their bracelets (malas, is it?) are supposed to do in their belief and specifically in this ritual? I've been seeing those bracelets a lot, lately.
have good time my dear friend i love your photos
i heard that different monks have different special abilities in martial arts and other fields
Very interesting, it always captivates me to learn history about other cultures, about all religious. Excellent Post !!
amazing!
Many hand forms are done there, completely different ..
outstanding work as always...I enjoyed this...and thank you for your support of my market reports1
Very nice information and though of you and nice photos of the various hand movements that you captured. All teachings of Buddha leads us to a life of humble and peaceful life with limiting our requirements and being happy with what we have in our life.
I was interested about what the three senior priests were doing, the hand developments with and the way they sat
