問帝代相承九土之內。唯有長跪頓首稽首稽顙叩頭博頰等語。書史之中元無互跪合掌之事。道家但有脫巾伏地。亦無互跽。悉令迴向一切供養(一切恭敬也)。
Question: Through successive dynasties within the nine lands, there were only expressions like long kneeling, prostrating the head, touching the forehead to the ground, knocking the head, and slapping the cheeks. In books and histories there was originally no practice of kneeling alternately or joining the palms. The Daoists had only taking off the cap and prostrating on the ground; nor did they have alternating kneeling. 'Directing all in pariṇāmanā toward all offerings' (that is, revering all).
