How do you wrap a buddhist monk's robe?

Question

The orange ones, the saffron robes... I know there's several parts to them. Please let me know, or maybe link me to a website that shows it!

Answer 1

Here are a number of pictures: http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhistworld/robe_pics.htm

And some accompanying helpful text: http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhistworld/robe_txt.htm

Note that, although it's not brought up here, there is a fourth piece worn by nuns (usually over the chest, to prevent any immodesty).

And the pictures do show some diversity; I've seen many monks who all wrap their robes differently. It's more about the pieces and general body location than exact wrapping.

Answer 2

I have been a buddhist monk before, The robe primarily consists of 3 parts; the sabong, sankhati and jiivon ( basically sarong, inner and outer robe). All are giant pieces of cloth which are folded in a special way, which takes 2 people. However, there are many different styles of buddhism and many different styles of wearing the robes. Im explaining how to wear a dhammakaya theravadan robe.

I dont think i can really explain to you how to wrap one over the internet, you'll have to go to a temple and ask a monk, or maybe you can find a video on youtube or something.
