Find out about Vietnamese Buddhism.
To refer to the Buddhist pretensions, we often refer to the repatriation of the monk, including ceremonial dress and daily routine. The Buddhist dress is considered to be a form of religious expression, which is the external appearance of the renouncer, so that the rules of the law clearly regulate the form of the suit.
To refer to the Buddhist pretensions, we often refer to the repatriation of the monk, including ceremonial dress and daily routine. Buddhist dress is considered a form of religious expression, which is the external appearance of the renouncer, so the sanctions in the law clearly regulate the form of legal suit. However, Vietnamese Buddhism consists of many denominations, mainly of the Mahayana tradition. Next to Nam Truyen (Southern tone) and Mendicant. Therefore, the characteristics of the suit of each school has many differences in form as well as color, leading to the subject of Buddhism in Vietnam is also very rich and diverse. In the context of this article, we met and exchanged with three clerics of the three sects of the Mahayana,

In the  Law  says: "The three precept Buddhist philosophy is the only dress of the Sangha at the time of ordination and also to make routine clothing such as ceremony, lecture, eating, alms, because it is y Blessed, he liberated in the sphere of virtuous expression of jewelry, the most beautiful dress of the Buddhist monks "(Thich Thien Sieu, 2002: 184). However, when transmitted to China, Buddhism has been transformed by the Mahayana Buddhism (Mahayana Buddhism) bringing innovation, integration, deep integration into society. In the Tang dynasty, Buddhism grew stronger and stronger, resulting in significant improvements in dress code. At this time, in addition to dress code appears in the dress code in order to formalize the appearance of the user when the ceremony, Sermon ... On the flow of Chinese Buddhism to the south, Vietnam has left its mark not only in the dress code, but also a vestiges of culture in selective acceptance. Since then, the dresses of Buddhism in the North were converted into different regions and customs, and when they came to Vietnam, they were converted again. So far, there is no document that accurately describes the type of Hindu Buddhism. If mentioned, only in the symbolic aspect, such as Buu's book, the vigorous crest of the entire chapter  of the Tran dynasty, refers to the Buddha's hats, but only the point of view, without drawing or depiction. The whole yoga is the transmission, the disciples follow the practice according to what the father left that use and development. But also a vestiges of culture in selective absorption. Since then, the dresses of Buddhism in the North were converted into different regions and customs, and when they came to Vietnam, they were converted again. So far, there is no document that accurately describes the type of Hindu Buddhism. If mentioned, only in the symbolic aspect, such as the book Buu vividly recurring throughout the entire chapter of the Tran Dynasty, refers to the Buddha's hat, but only the point of view, without drawing or description. The whole yoga is the transmission, the disciples follow the practice according to what the father left that use and development. But also a vestiges of culture in selective absorption. Since then, the dresses of Buddhism in the North were converted into different regions and customs, and when they came to Vietnam, they were converted again. So far, there is no document that accurately describes the type of Hindu Buddhism. If mentioned, only in the symbolic aspect, such as the book Buu dynasty remains secret all the chapter of the Tran dynasty, refers to the Buddha's hat, but only the point of view, no drawing or description. The whole yoga is the transmission, the disciples follow the practice according to what the father left that use and development. There is no document that accurately describes the type of Hindu Buddhist clothing. If mentioned, only in the symbolic aspect, such as the book Buu dynasty remains secret all the chapter of the Tran dynasty, refers to the Buddha's hat, but only the point of view, no drawing or description. The whole yoga is the transmission, the disciples follow the practice according to what the father left that use and development. There is no document that accurately describes the type of Hindu Buddhist clothing. If mentioned, only in the symbolic aspect, such as the book Buu dynasty remains secret all the chapter of the Tran dynasty, refers to the Buddha's hat, but only the point of view, no drawing or description. The whole yoga is the transmission, the disciples follow the practice according to what the father left that use and development.
The current dress of Vietnamese Buddhism in Vietnam is composed of daily dress and ceremonial clothes. Daily dresses are divided into two types: casual clothes and pajamas to go out or receive guests. Traditionally, the costumes worn in the temple are mainly dresses and trousers. This is the type of casual dress of the monks of the Hinayana. Main colors are blue, brown, yellow. New monks (nuns, novices) are usually dressed in brown or blue cloth. When leaving the street, wear ao dai, blue for nuns, brown for monks. For those who are ordained, in addition to a long jumper, when wearing a long jumper, you can wear a long dress (also known as a lily) when you go to the street or receive guests. Basically, the color of the medallion is only two colors. Lam for nuns and brown for monks. Nowadays, For the communication, activities of the Buddha ..., monks wear yellow robes. The color of this robe appears only a few years ago, especially in the period of integration.
The ceremonies are also called dresses, which are worn outside when performing Buddhist rituals. This type of attentions are paid attention and most attention, the monks and nuns of Buddhist monks to keep up to this day consists of three yarns, yoga and medicine, are dark yellow (algae color). In particular, unlike other Buddhist sects, the Mahayana Buddhism is in addition to the three basic sutras; The inside also has yellow robes for monks and blue for nuns, called "backpacks". The shirt has the same form as the long shirt but the collar is wide.
These three are the monks of the Bhikkhu, so the novice should  not be used without receiving full ordination. So besides the three yogis of the Bhikkhu, there are the yanas of the nuns, nuns, and nuns, called  "Charmed", "Man y"  or " Infidels ". Y nothing), there are no plots of land on the y but a sheet of garment back. However, novice monks are also divided into three levels: One is the naga zone, the only monks who are ordained, not clothed in forensic medicine. The second is the figure nodal  (non-transcendental gender) should not be embraced.  Three is the Dhamma Supramundane (has been crossed world) is embraced y Things, become a reserve team in the monk life, not the official increase. When embracing y Things,
1. Ng y  or also known as the five, Sanskrit called  An Assembly , Han translation is  Meditation y . The  fifth one is also called the lower y, because he is the lowest of the three monks. Y also known as  yogic y , ie to do the hard work in the temple or go to the road, reflecting the function of his use. In addition, the  Five  Medicine is  also called  Patience , which means cultivating the patience of the body, speech, development, courting the heart, mind, mind. The yarn is composed of 10 panels with 5 longitudinal lines representing 5 things. On each thing, it is divided into two cells: a short cell and a long cell, in which the long cell represents the holy substance, the short cell indicates the flesh, So many people are embracing this sacred lot but little. This medicine has the effect of eliminating the craving of the mind, making the body is always pure, should cover the medicine, make three kamma, do not occur, prevent the mind and mind of the mind. . When embracing medicine, must contemplate the verse: "Awareness of liberation /  Blessing of the Blessed Fulfillment /  Embodiment of the Rhythm of life /  The unbreakable cup /  Beauty of leather sa ha".
2. The medicine  also called Y conditioning thing, Sanskrit called  Uat multi-rise , Han translation is  Upper front y . The medicine is also known as  Enter us  with the ability to use this medicine to worship the Buddha, to repentance of sin, to chanting, meditation, eating life, listening to Sutra, This y has 7 things including 21 reams, in each one divided into three, with two umbrellas and one short umbrella. When embracing medicine, must contemplate the verse: "The good deeds of liberation / Supreme blessed field y / Rhythm life /
3. Great  Sanskrit called  Sangha pear , Han translation is  Hiep . Health Agreement  means cutting Pulley then reassembled pieces of medical apparel. It is possible to overlap several cut layers of cloth. The medicine is also translated as  yogis . Great for its many things: from 9 to 25. According to  the Vinaya  regulations, embryo under the three cases: enter the king, promoted the sermon and begged.
The University consists of 3 types and 9 levels: The lower level has 3 y and each of it is divided into three with two umbrellas and one short:  Y lower:  9, including 27 panels. Y lowland:  11 articles, including 33 sheets combined.  Y low:  13 articles, including 39 sheets of fabric.  Intermediate has 3 y and each of y is divided into four with three long and one short: Medium:  15, consisting of 60 sheets.  Medium: 17 articles, including 68 sheets of composite.  Medallion: 19 articles, including 76 sheets of composite.  The upper court has 3 y and each of his articles is divided into five with four long umbrellas and one short umbrella: Upper quarters:  21 articles, consisting of 105 interwoven sheets.  Upper middle:  23 articles, including 115 sheets of fabric.  Supreme:  25 articles, including 125 sheets of fabric. In particular, the supreme being may be red, also known as "yi". The superior user must be the higher (age, virtue, blessings). This medicine is usually used only during Buddhist ceremonies so it is less common in ordinary rituals. Monks and nuns,  too, use the same name as the monks, but when used in medicine, they are almost exclusively used for the Decade of Medicine, which is also a respect for the monks. . When covering Great care must contemplate verse: "Disaster recovery liberation /  Supreme blessing filled y /  Phoenix lead as hybrid network /  Quang subjective love /  Alma ha All three investigations off to sa ha".
The long, short umbrella division on one thing means that many of the long cells represent the growth of the divine substance; The shorter cells show less and less ordinary beings. In  the  Proverbs it is said:  " One who comes out of a medical practitioner with the meaning of the mind of the mind, therefore, when he packs the three yarn, the yoga, the yoga is the manifestation of the cessation of all attachment. Mind, heart and mind. In addition, embankment medicine also to withstand the winter weather, because they are sewn in multiple layers, maintenance of the body to Buddhist, chemical indulgence.
In addition to the three, there are also hats used in the process of performing rituals: Lectures, posthumiths, meditations, .... Legend has it to this day:
1. Mao Hiep Chuong is  also called Lotus Flower. The shape of the bell is shaped like the hands of a lotus flower, which is a symbol of wisdom and merit, so it is also called a blessing and a blessing. On the hat there are always six borders representing the six paramitas: 3 right line is the merit of: merit, virtue, patience; The 3 lines to the left are: wisdom, diligence, wisdom, wisdom.
2. Mong Xu , crown in three pieces with six lotus-like shape. Each side has contours running around in line with the winding of the hat. The front of the hat has three words  "Da Hong"  in the middle, the back of the swastika, meaning " Van Duc members" , that is all the countless virtues are gathered in the place of this hat. Each of the lotus-shaped figures on the hat symbolizes the Altitude, including: Giving, Discipline, Patience, Effort, Meditation and Wisdom. Above is attached by a round cloth and divided into three rings, representing the sutra, pratyekabuddha and bodhisattva. The outer circle is red, divided into four equal parts, each with four drops representing the Four Noble Truths and the Four Noble Truths.
3. Mutton: The   shape of the crown is similar to that of the upper part of the anointing crown, the  lower part extends down to the lower half of the back. Mao Quan usually made of brocade yellow or dark red, on which the word  Tho  stylized in the round box (also known as  group life ) or is the word  Phuoc . The Quan Yin Cap means saving suffering beings with blessings, wisdom, is considered the willingness to save the suffering of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. Therefore the users of this crown must be the higher (age, virtue, blessings). Cats are often used only during Buddhist ceremonies, so they are less common in other rituals.
Today, also in such basic form, but as the society is growing, the textile industry has reached the level of sophistication, produced a variety of fabrics, etc., Same color in the Buddhist dress, making the dress no longer a mainstream color, fabric material is also different. Correcting and unifying the color of the Hindu Buddhist dress is very difficult for functional branches of the Church, namely the Sangha. In recent years, the Board of Monks of Ho Chi Minh City has more or less called on monks and nuns to wear uniforms of the same color (dark yellow), this is really a beauty that Buddhist places must look Pick up and follow. However, even though color is not unified, it is basically not far from the three Buddhist traditions. It is the Five, the Medicine and the Great.

Faith of the mendicant
Fa and bowl are the sacred property of the monk. Because it is the means to help bhikkhus in daily life and to protect the body from sensual pleasures. When he was in the world, the Buddha always reminded him, encouraging the monks to keep his three and one bowl together. He also claimed that it was the traditional supplication of the three Buddhas.
Buddhist mendicant clothing is similar to that of the Theravada Buddhism, but different in color. According to the  law, the bodhisattva mendicant  stipulates that a bhikkhu's bodhi is composed of three yanas: yoga, yoga and meditation. Forensic specialists are only allowed to wear yellow clothing (dresses, trousers). Particularly novice (has been the world) was wearing three y, but y (outside boss) is slippery, no thing.
1. Y prime  is a light yellow outer garment made of small pieces of cloth. He has a length of 2m70, width of 1m80, wearing his right shoulder and right arm. When leaving the street, you must wear tight (y lum). Every bhikkhu is allowed to have only one elder. Each year on 15-7 lunar year is allowed to change y. Medicine is usually worn when the Buddha, slaps, ordained ...
2. Y trung  is the type of y in the middle of the human body, consisting of a dark yellow cloth of 2m in length, 70cm in width, unlabelled in the middle, and a knot on each side. Each one has only one y and one new y. The center of Ni save is 1m long, 70cm wide, sewn in the style of a skirt with sleeves, sleeves, studs, crosses, shoulders, shoulders, shoulders of the spine and shoulders square.
3. Y down  is raw cloth, 2m in length, 1m in width, sticks to 1m. Cover over 10cm, cover less than 5cm, dark yellow. Boosted from hips to half-feet, Ni wore hunched from hip to ankle. Each of them is allowed only one old y and one new y.
In addition to 3 y, the object usually carried along with the monk is the bowl. The bowl is a container for food, during alms and when eating. Normally the bowl is made of earth, is made of aluminum, brass, round flask 6 inches wide, mouth wide, painted black, rolling wax outside, cover white aluminum, light. Bag of cloth bowl, along with y color. A bowl of round bowl with a lid, covered with a strap 1 inch wide, the length of the gown on the left shoulder, the mouth of the bowl should be on the belt.
About the uniform color of the Buddhist sects of the Sikhs, they must be of the same color (dark yellow). At present, all the Buddhist monks bhikkhus are almost uniformly dark yellow in color. Every year, when coming to the season, the Buddhists offer a unified color.

French Theravada Buddhism
Every religion has its own uniform, which speaks of symbolic, organized unity. Some people say the shirt does not make religion or monk, but thanks to the shirt that distinguishes the religion, monk. A well-functioning religion must have a successful, multi-faceted organization in which uniforms are indispensable. The Buddha appeared in India in a multi-religious setting, but he wisely used the religion before his time and used his wisdom, compassion, and enlightenment to promote Buddhism. Benefit for gods and humans. In the promotion of Buddhism, the Buddha has strengthened many areas in accordance with the Sangha and the Church. Clothing and precepts were a big issue in the Buddha's Order and so far these still exist in the world. Here,
Origin,  Saṁyutta economic  and  Vinaya Pali  recount, once there Bhagavan and go east monk preaching to a field, Bhagavan told Venerable Ananda see fields or not? The great virtue. So Ananda let's dress the monks like a field. So Ananda obeyed the Buddha. Because the rice field is beneficial to man, the clothing, the metaphorical blessed of the gods and human beings.
The medicine we wear today is the Pali prescribed medicine. According to Ananda Elder obeyed the Buddha taught the robes look like rice fields. The meaning of the man wearing this medicine symbolizes the blessings of gods and humans. There are many levees in the fields, so the rules in the law are as follows: 5 things, 7 things, 9 things, 11 things.
In Vietnam, the monks of the South and the Khmer majority say five things. Tam y, the bowl is still intact. The bhikkhu inside, there is the Tip of Wisdom, the outside has the yoga and the bowl. The most touching bowl of the Buddha and the Sangha in ancient times, today Vietnamese Buddhist monks remain intact, unassigned.
The Theravada Buddhism was unfortunately worn as a tunic, with the same clothes as the Aristocracy but with only yellow or brown cloth wrapped around the body in different styles. There are the following forms:
Internal Medicine  (also known as Ananda Yoga) works as a lining of two pieces of cloth (like yu of the mendicant). The first piece is 40cm wide, 1m - 1.5m long, squeezed from front of chest over left shoulder, crossing back, crossing to the right side. Near the ends of the fabric are small bands to tie together. The second piece of cloth (70cm - 90cm), 1.5m in length, wrapped around the abdomen, cloth head to the edge of the fabric to tighten.
The left shoulder  (also known as yoga). Y left shoulder length is 2m70, width 1m80 with left shoulder and right arm. When leaving the street, the shirt should not be open shoulder and hand but must cover the whole body in the following order: Fold the fabric from behind to the front, two edges under the fabric under the two sides, pinching the fabric edge in front of the chest. Put your left hand in a piece of cloth about 40cm from your chest and create a space in front of your chest. This medicine is usually worn when the Buddha, the karmic, the slap, lecture ...
As for the colors of the monks, Pali rules are colorless, more specifically cowhide, dark yellow and mangosteen. In Vietnam, these three colors are on the monks are wearing, but not uniform and uniforms, such as novice to wear any color, monk must wear any color! On the side of the South Vietnamese nuns, Ni is currently using three colors: white (Thai-Khmer influence), pink and brown (Burmese influence). Although three colors but white is the majority - white attire and plus yellow scarf.

In short, dress is to adorn the dignity of the monk. The round head, the dress and the bowl represent the monk, although it is the form that helps us to cultivate our mind and become enlightened. The monk has only three y, the bowl is the property. Tam y is to cover the body, the bowl used to beg for food and to live through the day, to practice the virtuous life. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.26/6/2017.
