The difference between the four disciples at home and becoming a monk

Buddhist monks and Buddhists at home have differences in appearance and clothing besides shaving their beards and hair. According to the original regulations of Buddhism, monks have only three pieces of clothes to store, which are always called' cassock'. One of them is' five clothes', which is a shirt made up of five pieces of cloth. One is' seven clothes', which is a coat composed of seven pieces of cloth (usually worn); One is' Zufu', which consists of nine or even twenty-five pieces of cloth (etiquette or wear when going out). Each piece of cloth should consist of a piece of cloth with one length and one short (five clothes), two lengths and one short (seven clothes) or three lengths and one short (coat). This style is called "Tianxiang", which means like the shape of Nagata, indicating that family members can bless all beings. In the cold zone of China, it is not enough to wear only three clothes, such as the common clothes such as the round neck and square robe under the cassock. Later, the times changed, the clothes of the laity changed, and the monks remained the same; If this is the case, the square robe with round neck will become a special type of monk's clothing. Buddhists at home usually only wear vulgar clothes, and they can wear a' robe' made of five pieces of cloth when they worship Buddha, which makes it clear that there is no field. Therefore, it is not allowed to use one long coat and one short coat. Misha and Shamini are only allowed to wear robes, and they are not allowed to wear cut cassocks.
