		<description>Our teacher requires that we complete 3000 prostrations before we can take refuge.  Our centre is Vietnamese Zen and we do the prostrations differently than the Tibetan prostrations shown.  

We begin standing hands together in Gasho as if to bow (palms together just below the chin in prayer position, thumbs crossed).  We then raise our hands above our heads, lower them, then go down to kneeling, soles of the feet up.  We lower our forehead to the ground, butt down, hands palm down at either side of our head, forearms on the ground.  We then turn our hands palm up.

From my experience of Japanese Zen, the prostrations are very similar.</description>
