The direction of bowing is very important.Any kind of exercise can help the body and mind become one, but with just exercise, the direction is often not clear. Our bowing takes away our karma mind, our thinking mind, and returns to this moment very clearly, because its ultimate direction is to put down our small I, see our true nature and help all beings. This is why bowing practice is so important.
If somebody has much anger, or much desire, or a lazy mind, then every day, 300 bows, or 500 bows, even 1,000 bows, every day. Then their center will become very strong, they can control their karma, take away their karma, and become clear. This helps the practitioner and this world.
-Zen Master Dae Bong
