BSWA please keep propagating the word of the Buddha to we westerners, but please do not discard the beautiful ceremonies . Please keep up these traditions and dont let all this beauty become westernised! The two things can progress in tandem. Many blessings!😊😊😊

BSWA: I understand what Namaste means and the hand position (maybe I don't), but what is it's significant in this application when doing it while the tree is being planted?
