Re: "Gassho"

Seen it in Zen (sometimes the one-handed variety)---between monks, between monk and lay person, and between lay people---and in Yoga. Held the door for an elderly Korean fellow at a grocery store and he gave one such quick but beautiful bow in thanks. Haven't seen it in Aikido yet though.
