What Makes a Buddhist's Robes Sacred, and a Bathrobe Mundane?
Because in spite of all the things I just listed, at the end of the day, these robes are just plain cloth. They're made of the same stuff as my t-shirts and blankets. But it's the ordinary nature of my robes, which makes them special. On the surface, this may seem like a contradiction, but it actually points to a much larger lesson.
