Monk from Luangprabang Demonstrates How to Fold and Wear His Traditional Robe 

To be honest, his robe is looking better then all Gucci can buy. I give credit to him awesome robe wise monk.

Nice dressing buddhist monk. Plz monk avoid cigareetes, egg, meat, alcohol,married and luxury life. Buddha said if you don't have any food to eat then you can eat meat. Monks are like a leader of our buddhist society. Pureveg simple living monks are best. This comment is from the land of buddha lumbini nepal. South asia.

@asianmanph Red robes are worn by the burmese monks, and yellow and orange are worn by city monks, while brown is worn by forest monks and monks of the Dhammayut Order.

i'm gonna use the idea of the belt in my fashion design project. i love it !

@asianmanph These color resemble a monk, Usually a Novice monk would wear Orange, yellow, saffron and a Bhikku would wear a brownish/ornage color robe. But; sometimes a Bhikku likes the color of a robe, then he can wear it if he likes. A Novice monk must wear yellow, saffron, and orange until he is 20 or 21. (Novice means young monk) Right now i am currently a Cambodian Novice Buddhist monk. If i got this wrong feel free to correct me.

good video but way too fast. i wish he would have shown each piece and step by step. I just got my robe and i have 6 pieces and i have no clue what to do with any of them lol

Looks similar to a Feileadh Mor aka the ancient Scottish Kilt. (w/out all the cool pleats)

Way too quick I didn't understand a lot of how the folds that he did at the beginning unfolded into the end product. Much love and respect regardless!

Thanks! I'm donning yellow robes too. Sat Nam!

thats really neat to see thankyou for filming it

My big question is typically how much fabric do you think one needs to do this?

a 6 foot by 9 foot rectangle

I born in Luangrabang then I moved to Bangkok and found beautiful british guy

Cool, but I don't understand the contradiction of wearing a robe (that's been donated) so you don't have any worldly possession, then ritualizing the process and beauty of wearing a robe afterwards. In monastic Buddhism, is it okay to take pleasure in worldly beauty in a worldly possession but not okay to take pleasure in a worldly possession itself? Are they not the same thing? I must have missed something.

@hbomb619 How did you get to do this? I'm interested, personally.

Sadhu

nice

what'sup with all that fabric...

i dont pk in this?

but the sri lankan monks wearing their robe is totally diferent

Can you be a little more respectful when addressing a monk? And your video description... doing fashion origami and going commando? Seriously? This is all a form of entertainment to you?
