Black & White & Orange

The colours of Buddhist robes vary greatly depending on region, country, sect, and ordination but are generally earth tones. Buddha was said to have worn patched robes made from donated pieces of cloth. He is often depicted without robes on his right shoulder. Monks wear the robes to emulate Buddha s humble clothing and show that they are disengaged from the physical world. This book is a collection of images of monks from around Asia.
