ANSWER DESK:

For the Buddhist monk's robe and bowl gas law is important, be careful to preserve cherished as eye contact, and haunting the monks of each. Exalted at the same time, he bowls of monks have the option to use charm, donated by homeowners, good and bad kinds. In addition, there are many monks pray wearing algae powder, gleaned by the burial cloth dropped his body outside a cemetery damaged or torn fabric where landfill, then washed, dyed colors for damage (not major identity) and the back of y.

However, the now revered as shingles, a few monks too focused on appearance, structure drawing surface, y smooth bowl .... smooth as Venerable Nanda worked and was severely rebuked Exalted . Despite the fact that the monks, didactic level "master of the heavens" dignified inevitable need. However, the true meaning is dignified "ie non dignified dignified solemnity marketing name" (Diamond Sutra). True qualities of the mind where monks sheds so dignified solemnity outside though just a form of a beggar (mendicant) ordinary wear algae powder.

So, once the interior is not really close to achieving pure dues are the crown shirt with wide xun outside to some extent, but it should also not practical. The Venerable Nanda after hearing the teachings of Bhagavan turned to chalk algae wear, life alms, unless the desire is affordable valuable lessons for posterity Buddhists contemplate and imitate?
