How do yor greet people in your life?Is it different for different peple? How so and why? Do you touch people when you talk to them? Why? Or Why not?
I always greet people by smiling and say "hello"" Good morning" to them. But it depends on people that I meet at that time.Such as the person who is older than me I will bow my head a bit and smiling to them. And if in the case of friends I just say "Hello" and smiling. When I talk with friends, I sometime touch them when I need them to agree on my opinion or during laughing. I don`t want to do like that but at that time I can not control myself .......Wondering!!........

How is your daily life affected by Buddhism?What do you do and why do you do it?
Because of my daily life everyday is busy so that I do not have much time to the Buddhism practising. And do not have much time to go to the temple or shrine often. Anyway, every night before sleeping I will pray to have a good dream and get a fortunate on the next day. In my mind I believe that although there is unnecessary to go to the temple or practicing often but we can doing good thinking, beliving in sin and so on. That`s enough!!!
