Buddhist monks and nuns wear the colour orange because it represents life and vitality, particularly of the eternal soul. Lay Buddhists may wear any colour they choose. Throughout Asia, colours such as orange, red, and yellow are used in religion for a similar reason. For example, in China's ancient history only the emperor was permitted to wear yellow because he was considered to be a divine being. Similarly, in Japan, the emperor who was referred as "The Son Of Heaven" sat on the yellow chrysanthemum throne.
