Practicing the kowtow
This is a kind of rituals which is practiced by Tibetans in which the palms put together, prostrate themselves on the ground, with the head, arms and knees down on the ground and move forward slowly, following the every step with kowtow. This is a way to express their most honest hearts to the Buddha as they walk from their hometown to lhasa. During the long journey they wear wooden kneepads to protect their knees and fur to ward off dust on their faces and kowtow every three steps until they arrive in their destination.
In this practice, they follow strict rule in which, first stand straight, put palms together, lift them above the head, and stride one step. Same way the devotee strides another step and go forward. This way they complete their destination and believe that the he achieve the Nirvana.
Tibetans believe that humans suffers the six samsaras which is eternal cycle of birth, suffering, death and rebirth in Buddhism and there are two ways to avoid this painful ending. One is to become living Buddha and another is walking around the monument or holy mountain and if is done during this life than the heaven or nirvana which is full emancipation from above mentioned struggle of line is ensured. In Tibet, there is a holy mountain known as mt. Kailash and some people of the very traditional community of Tibet still practice kowtow strongly and fill the long and ardous march of mount kailash.
