Question for you. Raised as a Buddhist, and also born in the U.S., I do not share the same sentiment as the generalization of Westerners that you mentioned above e.g., "humiliation" or "idol worship". Bowing and prostration is a way of life for us. On a personal level, bowing and prostration signifies the highest level of respect to the Dharma and also a complete surrendering of my ego. I have always felt this way. Any thoughts?
