Bowing and Prostrating Before the Buddha in the Zen-Do

Bowing and prostrating before the Buddha in the Zen-do also throws me. It's kind of a whole question of how much ritual and devotional activities we have at the center. And my hope is that even if it isn't something that speaks to you now in your practice, you can recognize that it is supportive for your fellow practitioners,. For some people it may never completely recede.
