Whether we know it or not, ritual is a part of lives. We usually are unconscious about the thousands of rituals we perform every day, and these rituals solidify and confirm particular ways of being. In Buddhism, daily rituals are used to make a connection with innate wisdom and compassion and in a sense to rehearse our more awakened qualities.

“Mind, continual source of meanings, is like the sky: The sky is Mind, genuine meaningfulness, Without duality, complete and identical with itself — Understand it thoroughly straight away.” ~ Longchenpa Excerpt from Now That I Have Come to Die, p. 47
