Bowing is a way to show respect to the Buddha and to other people.
It is also a way to show humility.
Buddhist worship involves many types of bowing.
Buddhists often bow to monks and nuns to show their respect.
During worship, many Buddhists bow to a statue of the Buddha.
Sometimes they bow by lying on the floor and placing their hands above their heads.
This type of bow is called a prostration.
