Wearing religious secularists.

       

Logo of the export country is "round square shirt". The minus tu play - shaved, as the "first round"; square shirt is the ca-sa y (kasaya), with fabric pieces put together look like fields (so it is called 'blessed fill y').

In addition to the traditional yellow robes, TV renouncers North Vietnam also use blue plates shirt, brown shirt - the color of incense, the bark, tubers, roots ..., color of "great damage" to daily life.
Despite new yellow robe is the noble symbol of renunciation, however, in daily life, the sleeve-date average, flap-Dating, robes oblique ... remains the familiar images of people Religious - "color meditation brown clothing has recommended life" (Nguyen Du). Thus, here, "religious map" that we want to address include robes and even the type of shirt blue, brown coat which is normally used.

Certainly "the shirt does not make the monk", but no one can deny that every form of capital also very important in Buddhism. Shirt is an expression of religious humility, simplicity, gentleness, equality, the chief reminded frequently about gender and protection units for those who put on the sleeve gentle, simple but religious this quarter.
Tu tu dress and responsible with what symbol does not have anything to say. The problem here is that people wearing religious secular - which took place from the past, but this seems to be the "prevailing" more - so think should have thought inflation goal. The purpose of this article is to mention that issue.
Masquerade meditation Minister: greed, profiteering
"Assuming pages meditation minister" is a phrase often appears in economic, Buddhist law. Buddha often rebuked the monks negligent practice, the external appearance cared to look forward to revere life. The story goes that, new childhood home, Nan Da rubs venerable robes and wearing bright fresh bowl to beg in order to attract the attention of everyone. And venerable Ca Save Da Di, then the hard training for fat body, imposing, majestic. Buddha rebuked the position "masquerade meditation minister", run under the Education without practicing gender district.
That is the case of monks at less conscious purpose of religious life. Other cases, the masquerade meditation minister is not monks but those secular evil act. Pali Canon ( sub sutras)  have mentioned two cases in disguise, are the hunter.  Jataka  No. 221 - story yellow robes, storytelling hunter in a specialized complaints Balaam livelihood by hunting Ivory. The guy wearing yellow robes, disguised Pratyeka Buddha position, crouched beside the road waiting elephants crossing the weapon used to kill elephants Bates. Until Elephant Princess detect elephants increasingly minimized, guests parody of murdered monks, he deliberately went final. When armed hunters stormed out, Elephant Princess (formerly the Buddha) turned around, stood up and stretched hose thought, "I'll hit the ground excavated it and kill it!". But when he saw the yellow shirt wearing, elephant thought: "We must respect the symbol of rank Arhat that it abused to wear". Whereby elephant hunter being struck dead princess. 
Similarly,  Jataka  No. 514 - King statue in lake Chaddanta story, telling stories about hunter obeying the queen jealous, cruel, have ice wading streams to kill elephants Forest Princess (formerly the Buddha) to take tusks. Elephant Princess winning name, roared fiercely, stormed the hunter to trample him. But  "Elephant Princess has nearly killed the enemy's / As evidence of frantic pain / But lo! His eyes were just met / high bar icon, the yellow shirt / tunic, violating religious impossibility ... ".  He hunters thus escape by the yellow jersey!
Buddha said:  "Who filled defiled / Back robes-sa / themselves not overpower / No respect for truth / But he do not deserve / Sticky robes-sa" . However, to understand the "pros and cons" of robes that men revered, many who had not bothered to secular law of causality, bare of law (disguised as others) or human ethics, applied soot robes - precious symbol of Buddhism, was blatantly y jacket, bowls prance around the streets begging items (and money). Many people mistakenly believe they are begging monk, so they honor the donation, although inside nor out of mistrust for the "extraordinary" in their majesty. Those posing as monks were tarnishing the image of the true mendicant practitioner, so that the Church must make the decision to suspend the alms of the monks - which is a noble tradition of Buddhism. And, it seems this is a phenomenon of "unsolvable" in our country, over the years has not yet solved!

Above is the religious disguise of the conventional secular avarice. This dangerous job, but probably not harmful by themselves as a layman (in Buddhism, lay - kulapati - often only to reach the men and women according to Buddhist monk but kept life secular life), had a shaved head, wearing brown river, sitting in meditation position to take pictures with a girl ... nude modeling. Series of photographs called "artwork" was named  "Escape (nude for meditation)"  extremely offensive involves Buddhist image, the online community has been fiercely criticized. Or like the phenomenon of "guru" Duy Tue styled Buddhist concept borrowed to set theory, printing books, distorted Buddhism exist so long under the guise called "Zen wisdom" ... 
The problem is that "teacher", "master" disguised in these cases is misunderstood by many Buddhist monks, partly due to ambiguous wording, the guests of many newspapers!
Dressed practice because a good intention: Caution!

Layman, everyone wearing the religious costume, then be aware that you are a practicing Buddhist practitioner, is representing a district uphold world religions, the gentleness, patience and deliverance; therefore, every thought, action must be very careful, to avoid misunderstanding that "ordained" that do not fit, do not preserve dignity. Otherwise, not only the religious dress is no longer useful but accidentally caused the sin, the sin of home people.

Actually, the problem we want to discuss in this article is not the phenomenon of "masquerade meditation minister," which is about people prefer to wear religious layman, has become a quite common phenomenon in time recently. To be fair, this is a beautiful picture, a pure desire of laypeople good when they put on the suit tu - be it elegant blue suit or casual brown suit. Frugal is a beauty of Buddhism. 
A young men, and women wearing the shirt does not make them go bad practice, but on the contrary, they become extraordinarily beautiful. So now, not only the new old layman dressed in religious, but many boys, girls, and even children also like to wear while practicing temple. Even familiar stab "enthusiast" - in part also due to the comfort, lightness which initiates bring suit - many were dressed in everyday activities. And, the thing that has brought the unfortunate misunderstanding.
I have a friend who recommended shaved brown hair and dressed like a river. One day, he was at the market with his wife, overheard people murmuring "Look, Mr. Temple that goes with ... girl is!". Another case, a young man wearing tie-Dating, you go on the street carrying her. Many curious eyes toward him, perhaps skeptical, not knowing insurance under other hat Is a skinhead (because he's a very short hair cut!). 
Leave a further case, a Buddhist her dance teacher's capital. One day later taught, she rushed to the temple wearing blue outfit that barely chanting bleach. To the intersection of the red light, someone at her, exclaimed: "God, her makeup nicotine that is!". Her hair is so strange but people still misunderstand, all because of religious outfit that she was wearing!
Not long ago, at a monastery in the Central Highlands arose the "monk raped a female religious." Newspapers published several exam says "hot" - spastic, creating a wave of indignation in the community. But in essence, "monk" was just a layman, before that desire to be ordained but not approved, he also shaved his head, dressed in religious, temple of fruit and so do "evil acts" should causing disastrous misunderstanding.
The tragicomic misunderstandings such matter does not go away skeptical. Here, we just want to raise the idea that, laypeople, everyone wearing the religious costume, then be aware that he is a practicing Buddhist practitioners, representing a highly religious right gender, the gentleness, patience and deliverance; therefore, every thought, action must be very careful, to avoid misunderstanding that "ordained" that do not fit, do not preserve dignity. Otherwise, not only the religious dress is no longer useful but accidentally caused the sin, the sin of home people.
In Buddhism, there is no noble by law for any right concentration; without any aromatic jewelry by morality. So, whether ordained or lay people, also should consider that:  "Every possible use privileged instructions incense map / Normal maintenance for travel from the body / Bodhi turned solemn magic flower / Options establishments generally peaceful abode"  (For instructions for making incense powder to dab yourself. Use daily to make clothing. Bring treasure flower Bodhi but dignified throughout. Then felt wherever peace).END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH TAM GIAC.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN PRAYED BUDDHIST NUN MONASTERY.THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY.AUSTRALIA,ADELAIDE,SYDNEY.28.7.2015.
