What does the action (flicking milk from a bowl) at 6:40 signify ?

[zhicheng2]

@irfand4 I think they believe that everything he touches is blessed,(note: how he touches all the monks heads when they came to stop him from going) so the milk that he touched would bless his old home.

@zhicheng2 Thank you for the reply.

@irfand4 that action is more like ritual. In buddhism we have a lot of tradition and rituals like that.
