Lhasa residents donate money to tibetan, Tibet 2016

Lhasa residents donate money to tibetan who do Full body-length prostration. Most time when I walk along the Barkor a kora around the monastery Jokhang, more than once I witness this phenomena. And they accept it humbly.
------------------
The actual prostration is performed by dropping the body forward and stretching it full length on the floor, the arms outstretched in front.... Again, with hands in the lotus bud mudra, bend your arms back and touch your hands to the top of your head (forehead touching the ground), a gesture that acknowledges the blessing flowing from Guru Rinpoche.
Then stretch your arms out once more and push yourself up.... Bring your hands into the lotus bud mudra for the third time and touch your heart in a gesture of reverence. Then, walk forward in body length, with a smooth motion, bring your hands to your crown and perform the next prostration...........
