A young woman was praying while flapping what looked like a scripture over her head

I stopped in front of one of the entrances of the hall. A young woman was seen on the other side of it. She was a worshiper. A kind of book was in her hand and she might face an altar.

In the meantime, she started to flap what she had in her hand. It was very strange to me. And I admired her every move. Although I had visited many Buddhist temples in my home country, I have never seen such kind of praying. Yet it seemed to be a common way to pray here. Taking a view in the hall, I saw many worshipers praying in the same way.
