30. Question: What is the etiquette of lay Buddhists towards monks?
Answer: In southern countries, lay Buddhists must first take off their shoes and pray before a monk when entering a Buddhist monk's room. When a bhikkhu is taught to sit, he must sit on a low seat or sit on the floor. He cannot sit on a bhikkhu's bed or eat at the same table as a bhikkhu. If a bhikkhu goes to a layman's home, the host should spread a clean cloth on the seat, ask the bhikkhu to sit down, and then pray. If their son becomes a monk, his parents must also pray. According to southern Buddhist customs, on any occasion, when monks see lay people coming to visit or enter a meeting place, they never stand up. When lay people bow to them, they do not return the salute. Sometimes they just say: "May you have good luck." ’ The same goes for when you send offerings to them. When the junior monks and novices bowed to the senior monk, the senior monk did not respond. In our country, when a bhikkhu is worshiped by a layman or a young bhikkhu or a novice, he can put his palms together to answer the salute. The height of the seat is not very strict except for formal religious ceremonies.
