WAI NOT.?

To show respect,put palms together at chest level,pointing your fingers away
from you,and gently bow your head.This is a traditional greeting,called a WAI
.The degree to which you should bend your waist while performing a WAI is
determinded by your social status relative to the other person.Older people
receive lower,more respectful WAI.Younger people or those of inferior social
standing WAI first.Inanimate object that should receive a WAI include spirit houses,miniature temples blessed by Brahman priests that house the spiritual guardians of the land on which the house resides.
