Ritual purification
Before performing the ritual following the instructions below, first calm your mind.
－Fill a ladle with water from the basin.
－Pour a little of the water over your left hand.
－Switch the ladle to your left hand and pour a little water over your right hand.
－Switch hands again, cup your left hand and pour some water into it to cleanse your mouth.
－Rinse your mouth with the water in your left hand, and spit it out into the drainage—not into the basin.
－Rinse your left hand again.
－Raise the ladle vertically so that the remaining water pours down the handle to clean it for the next person, and return it to the basin.
Please do not drink directly from the ladle, and do not throw coins into the water.
