Answer 2

Buddhists monks and nuns are only allowed a few possessions, including; three robes, an alms bowl, a cloth belt, a needle and thread, a razor for shaving the head, and a water filter. And, an insight from another contributor; Amusingly, the Dalai lama indicates that he would carry a needle and thread with him as a young boy in the monastery to play practical jokes on the older monks. He would sit near them and secretly sew folds of their robes together while they meditated so they could not rise.
