Buddhist costumes
Buddhism in our country divided into two sects: Mahayana and Theravada.
- The monks North tones (in the northern temple) wearing coarse brown fabric (dyed with faux). Later on fine fabrics used, finer and can be dyed with dyes. Around the house, wearing a short brown blouse, brown pants, men and women (male professor recent bargaining brown shirt). On the street or when the temple, wear long relativity, does not stretch the chest, neck standing, soft, tight button-neck, button brown braided cloth. At the ceremony wearing monks robes flap low rank brown, large hands, neck brace cross is about 5 cm wide. The high-level monks wear yellow robes flap (class identity). Outside also wore a cloth called a brown robe and yellow (class color) depending on the rank. Also kind of multicolored robes to use when running board.
Robe is a square piece of cloth almost every width ranging from 2 m to 3 m. This is not an instant cloth that is because many pieces back under certain qualifications. In Buddhist scriptures known as forensic medicine, including the type: y contingent things, y ataxia, permanent medical conditions, medical cross vv..Y least five things that are due 5 piece (it) put together, he's ataxia by 7 piece (it) put together etc .. each type for each use case.
Describes a medical sheet contingent things, we see the following: Depending on the height of the wearer, y possible contingent from 1.6 m to 1.9 m long. Horizontally as in cloth - ie "things" - every "thing" that is 40 cm in breadth. But in "things" that are not interconnected between the "thing" to have a width of 5 cm strip of fabric separates (the "how"). On each "thing" vertically down, and divided into two unequal parts by the piece "how to" stop out. Longer section called "School", a short section called "short". In the "what" first "short" above, "school" underneath in the second, the "school" on top, "short" below etc .., ie staggered arrangement "school "and" short "between the" thing ". Overlooking a y (shirt) never the "short" and above, to the "how" (horizontal) with the number above for more beautiful. (Y contingent that has three "a" above, two "ways" at the bottom).
In medical ataxia was arranged most "short" binary "field." (In the "things" The first is a "short" two "schools", to the second one: two "schools" a "short" and so on ...).

When this gown, the wearer must tie together two wires on the canvas twice more momentum around the square located near the middle of the sleeve, the lower edge of the fabric on. Finished gown and tie, his hands would often raise two sides cloth, considered very wide sleeves.
According to Buddhist legend, saffron robes formed from the cloth is because of people's individual quarter-way back to the heart of the
religious contribution. When multiple pieces of cloth and then, the monks said petition should ask Buddha dressed in a manner that does. Human passing through a field, immediately pointing Buddha and transmitted in the form of plots sewing. Also for that reason that cassock also called panels being filled approach, the rice pray more, they generate prosperity.
