I talked about "Hundred Neckwear" in the previous Japanese article, and now I will talk about Hundred Neckwear.
Patchwork clothes, clothes made of pieces of rags stitched together, or clothes that have been worn with multiple patches after years of wear, are called patchy clothes after a lot of repairs.
Strictly speaking, one-piece clothing is the merit clothing and robes of practitioners. According to the "Law of Ten Songs", the name of the clothing is derived from the five-piece clothing, namely (1) with donor clothing, (2) without donor clothing, (3) return Clothes, (four) clothes for the dead, (5) clothes for dung sweeping. It is also said that when the Buddha was first in the Five Bhikkhus, he advocated the five robes.
described Wukong in the thirty-third chapter of "Journey to the West" as a real person, "with his head in a double-handed bun and wearing a quilted shirt. Knock on the fishing drum slip with Lu Gongluan on his waist." , Quilted clothes are clearly the standard for practitioners.
But what I want to add is that the same is the "sweatshirt", you have to see who is wearing it.
The quilted clothes are worn on the practitioners. They are merit clothes and robes, because the practitioners wear them for rituals, chanting and propagating. Wearing on a beggar is a beggar's clothes; wearing on a child is a "baijiayi"; wearing on a model is a fashion.
Therefore, the same is the quilt garment, because the wearer is different, it also gives the quilt garment a different meaning. Of course, it does not matter whether ordinary people wear quilted clothes or not. For practitioners, it is recommended to wear quilted clothes, because quilted clothes have special significance for practitioners. First of all, the cultivation process of a practitioner is to achieve an ideal state by modifying words and deeds, and this process should conform to a specific style of life, and use this way to realize awareness.
I think that the significance of the practice of walking, almsgiving, chanting, and meditation is important when a practitioner wears a pleated garment. I can't remember any master who said that "the meaning of quilted clothes is to let us not greedy worldly property." Apart from the desire for clothing and the desire for material enjoyment, it is not to fall in love with the greed for power and fame. Z30z Practitioners can only embody the spirit of abandoning glory and prosperity only if they wear quilted clothes.
It can be seen that the quilt clothes are really the clothes of merit for practitioners. There is enough food for thousands of families, and Bai Nayi is not shy.
has a poem that says: "Turn a bowl of a thousand food, wear a pleated shirt. Pillow a stubborn stone, and fall asleep peacefully. To a group of clear streams, understand the mystery of life."
This is clearly a kind of consciousness. This kind of realm, reaching this realm, wearing quilted clothes is fashion, glory, and virtue, making quilted clothes into poetry full of beauty and romance.

However, nowadays, practitioners wearing quilted clothes are becoming less and less common. Some people say that maybe the economic conditions are better now that there is no need for "penance". But I don’t think so. I even wonder if the practitioners who don’t want to wear quilted clothes are true practitioners?
If you can't even do a seemingly simple thing like wearing quilted clothes, how can you overcome "greed, hatred, delusion, suspicion"? If you can't overcome the struggle of "greed, hatred, ignorance, suspicion", how can you be regarded as a true practitioner?
