As some people on retreats have asked about the Asian method of cleaning your backside after defecation, here is an explanation:

• Fill the water scoop with water.
• Position above the backside, holding the scoop with the right hand.
• Wet the fingers of the left hand to prevent sticking.
• Pour water over the area to be cleaned and wipe with the left hand.
• Rub the anus with the fingers of the left hand.
• Refill the scoop with water as needed.
• Wash hands.

It may be personal preference whether to go under and rub from between the legs, or to go round the back.
