I did prostrations for the first time, because I got to the Center early so was drafted into helping set up the altar. I think at the point I'm preparing the offerings to Dorje Shugdan, I can't claim noninvolvement in Dorje Shugdan practice.

I'd never done prostrations before. I often still feel like a total newbie at this Buddhism thing... Also I read in the Dalai Lama's How to Practice about how doing 10,000 prostrations is a preliminary practice. Sheesh. I had a hard time with just three.
