All seeing eye globe. This is one of the only color pictures I have of the inside of the Temple {seems a girl(?) in Saigon saw the pictures and asked if she could have them. Well you know easy me and besides, I have the negative around here somewhere.}. This is the side of the All Seeing Eye's globe. The inside of the Temple is full of bright colors (as you can see). When prayer sessions begin, first the dignitaries and disciples associate each other with the proper greeting. They salute each other if there is more than one worshiper. The left hand represents the positive logos (Yang). On the left hand, the thumb is tucked into the palm, pointing at the base of the third finger from the thumb. The remaining fingers are then folded over the thumb. The right hand then covers the left, with each finger covering the corresponding finger of the left hand, and with the right thumb covering the hole made by the left thumb. The hands are gently held loosely together and not in a fist. They are held up to the chest, and then the believers' bow to each other. According to their rank, the followers take different positions in front of the altar. |
