Can someone please tell me how to wrap Buddhist monk robes as they would be worn by Burmese monks?

Question

For school, I have to research the religion in Myanmar (Burma), and in my presentation I need various props. As a result, I've been trying to find a site that explains how monks wrap their robes, so that I can demonstrate it on a doll, but no such luck.
Anyway, a detailed description of ho to wrap the robes would be great! Thank you so much!

Answer 2

Check Buddhanet which is linked from the other guy's reply... there you can see all KINDS of robes. How they're worn specifically you might be better off asking an actual monk. There are certain ways of placing the robes in certain circumstances, depending on what they're doing.

Answer 3

If you have to ask this question on the internet, you should probably not be wearing a monk's robe at all. Get your teacher to do his job and teach you.

Answer 4

I was a novice monk and had lots of trouble putting on the robes.I will try my best to help.
1.For the 'skirt',wear it like the Indian sarong.This is the easy one.
2.For the rope to wrap round the body;from the edge of the rope,fold six folds of about 15cm.
3.With the left hand holding the edge of the rope (with the folds) and the right hand holding the edge without the fold,put the rope over the shoulder.
4.The right hand then moved the rope around the neck and tuck in the rope over the left shoulder.
5.With the left hand still holding the edge with the folds,flick and reverse the rope over the left shoulder.
My description might sounds confusing,but give it a try.

Answer 5

honestly, no one is going to know the difference. I would use some velcro to make sure that the robe doesn't fall off.
