How do monks say hello when they come to the door?

The way monks greet at home is to put their hands together, lower their eyes, bow slightly and say "Amitabha", which is very polite.

We should pay attention to the names of monks. Monks and nuns are our common names for monks.

In fact, strictly speaking, "monk" refers to a monk with certain qualifications and grades, and not everyone can be called "monk"

"Nun" is a common name for a nun. Even because of the influence of popular literature, such a title is not polite enough for people.

The easiest way to meet a monk without making mistakes is to call him "Master" regardless of gender and seniority.

Therefore, it is very polite for a monk to come to the door, fold his hands, hang his eyes, bend slightly and say "Amitabha".

Taboo: Female Taoist priests should not be called "Taoist priests" in person.

In some literary and film works, such as the song "A Taoist Friend of mine", female Taoist priests are called "Taoist priests", and there is also a hairstyle similar to meatball heads called "Taoist priests' heads".

In fact, "Taoist" is the common name of the masses. In orthodox Taoism, there is no such title.

So when you meet a female Taoist, you should still call her "Taoist", but never "Taoist".
