Rinpoche shared a video which was taken by his good friend Michael Martinez, as Michael wanted to know how a prostration is performed and the meaning behind it. Here’s the post from Rinpoche’s Facebook page:

Prostration is an important part of our spiritual practice and should be performed together with meditation and recitation of mantras in order to purify our body, speech and mind. When you perform a single prostration together with mindfulness, you accumulate the virtue of body and mind. When you perform a single mantra recitation, you accumulate the virtue of speech. With an undistracted mind, you can accumulate vast merits on the path to liberation.
