Hello

Post by Growreeds »

Hello,

First time post, and I know a strange one at that. Layperson, practice zen.

I am comfortable in Japanese samu-gi. I prefer wearing this clothing more than anything else, including their literal purpose. So much so, when walking the dog in the neighborhood, for example, I walk in this clothing. I don't do it to "show" my Buddhism, but rather, they're comfortable and I prefer them, and they also serve as a constant reminder of my vows.

Curious what the community might think.

Gassho, and hello again.

Hello and welcome!
Curious what the community might think.
If it makes you happy and comfortable then it's nobody's business but your own.
"One should cultivate contemplation in one’s foibles. The foibles are like fish, and contemplation is like fishing hooks. If there are no fish, then the fishing hooks have no use. The bigger the fish is, the better the result we will get. As long as the fishing hooks keep at it, all foibles will eventually be contained and controlled at will." -Zhiyi

"Just be kind." -Atisha
