The color orange is the way the Sangha in Thailand has chosen to dress. Among the various Buddhist traditions, different colors (the costumes and yes), socks, find and identify the different styles for the tightened. The color is from, what everyone believes that the tradition of Buddha was made based, but this is obviously not acceptable because of the diversity of costumes in the Theravada, the Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. You will also see brown dresses in Thailand because, as they are washed with wood in the forest, one is brown a lot.
ReplyDeleteBuddhist monks in the world use Orangi / saffron. It is very likely that your relationship with branching, etc. Hinduism. The Hindu holy men wear saffron robes. The monks live in the deep woods wear brown robes instead of orange as the color of the bark that the nature of the tree is. Socks has a matching dress color.
