    Wow what an excellent find!

    Silk, purple robes, gold embroidery...but amazingly we've returned the basics.

    Taigu, sincerely, thank you for bringing this practice to Treeleaf.

    Deep bows,

    Thanks Taigu. Great. A naked clergy? How things could have been otherwise!

    Thank you, Taigu.

    It's great study material for us newbies at sewing the kesa.

    Rev. Taigu,

    Thank you for this interesting article. I have always wondered how the robes of the Mahayana lineages evolved from those of the earlier orders.
    To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.
