As you travel to the mountain, there may be people ahead of you. You may pass some of these people on the way, and some of them may pass you. You are all going to the same place, so it is as well to be civil to each other on the journey!
Good luck on your journey, I hope that our paths cross, and we may travel together for a time!

Tradition is just the root formalities and teaching where things stemmed from.
You could make it your tradition to flush the toilet twice is your household and pass that on and generations later people would do it because it was what they were taught and therefore tradition..
