Long Description: Active Wear robes are the traditional attire worn by Active in various religious and spiritual traditions, including Buddhism, Christianity, and others. These robes are designed to reflect the monk’s commitment to a life of simplicity, self-discipline, and spiritual focus, devoid of material attachment.
In Buddhism, the robe is often called Kasaya, and it is typically made from patched cloth in shades of orange, yellow, or maroon. The robe is a symbol of humility and renunciation of worldly possessions. The Kesa, a more elaborate robe, is worn by Zen Buddhist monks and is typically made up of multiple pieces of cloth sewn together to symbolize the interconnectedness of teachings.
In Christian monasticism, monks wear a habit, a simple tunic that is often brown, black, or white, depending on the order. The cowl or scapular is worn over the habit for additional protection or as part of a ceremonial outfit, symbolizing religious devotion.
Active wear robes, regardless of tradition, emphasize modesty, simplicity, and functionality, often with loose-fitting designs to encourage freedom of movement and ease in meditation or prayer. The robes are often worn with a belt to signify renunciation and devotion to a spiritual path. These garments help monks maintain a constant reminder of their vows and spiritual journey, separating them from worldly distractions.
