TIBETAN BUDDHIST MONK'S MEDITATION SKIRT/ BODY WRAP :
NamasteYOGAstore presents this unisex meditation skirt that is suitable for both men and women. It consists of two items. The first is the Buddhist Monk Meditation Skirt and the second is the Buddhist Monk Robe Belt.
BUDDHIST MONK MEDITATION SKIRT:
Made from pure cotton, this Tibetan Buddhist Lama Monk Maroon Skirt is called The Shamthap. It is mainly used during prayers and meditation. It is made in the Refugee Centre in Delhi by our Tibetan tailor.
HISTORY AND SYMBOLISM OF THE SKIRT:
This lower robe is sewn to look like a patched-up cloth, a deterrent from possible attachment to an object of value, such as a piece of quality cloth. In the past, the shamthap was sewn up from many pieces while today it is merely made to look patched.
The Gelugpa tradition dictates that the shamthap be draped with the fold on the right side turning towards the back, symbolizing a monk or nun's renouncement of worldly life and negative actions. The folds on the left turn towards the front, meaning their commitment to the Buddhist path and the virtuous activities that will contribute to accumulating merit.
