just robes. no special name for them. BTW the color is saffron.
That depends on the region. For example, the Tibetan Buddhists wear orange and yellow. Just go to images.google.com and search for "buddhist monk" ;)
only practicing buddhists wear grey robes. the monks wear orange or yellow.
A monk
Yes, monks from different traditions and regions may wear robes of different colors. For example, Theravada Buddhist monks typically wear saffron-colored robes, while Tibetan Buddhist monks may wear burgundy or maroon robes. The specific color and style of robes can signify the tradition and level of ordination of the monk.
A Tibetan Buddhist Monk is a lama. There are no Buddhist "priests", lamas are scholars and teachers.
Many Mahayana Buddhists wear colourful yet simple robes. These are quite impractical but they depict their dedication to the Buddhist religion. Mainly monks wear these robes, but some very religious Buddhists wear the robes without being monks. The colours of the robes depend on their status in monk society.
Lokanatha - Italian Buddhist Monk - was born in 1897.
It all depends on the type and the religion, if you are talking about the generalized idea of a monk rode meaning the orange/brown robe's, you know the common ones, there planly called "Monk robes" haha.
The name for a new monk is a novice. For the men who are discerning and who live in the community, they are called postulants.
I did some research on the matter since I didn't know either. First off a Buddhists Monks and Nuns robes are different depending on the climate of the area. So hot areas have less fabric than cold areas. Secondly a Nuns robe is different than a Monks robe. So there is no standard Buddhist robe. It appears that there is no single name for a Buddhist robe, the word used is different in every language but is simply that countries word for Robe.
Lokanatha - Italian Buddhist Monk - died on 1966-05-25.
To Paris with love.
