Making the pattern
The Buddha prescribed a special “rice field” pattern for the monastic robes. This is achieved by making very small seams throughout. | |
"There is, monks, an unborn, unbecome, unmade, unconditioned. If, monks, there were no unborn… no escape would be discerned from what is born, become, made, conditioned. But because there is an unborn..., therefore an escape is discerned from what is born, become, made, conditioned.”
~ The Buddha
