The Buddha was against rituals so there are very few rituals for Buddhists. There are some for becoming a Buddhist (which is not necessary) and becoming a Monk or Nun but they are not standard from monastery to monastery. Bowing to each other is the only other formal ritual I know of.

There are lots of personnel rituals performed by some Buddhists to help them remember the Buddhas teachings, such as saying a gatha (a poem or statement of intent) before performing a task. Such as one I use before eating: "This meal, that satisfies my body, was brought to me through much suffering of many sentient beings." reminds me to be grateful to all beings and that we are all interrelated.
