BUDDHIST MONK MEDITATION SKIRT: THE SHAMTHAP
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.
COLOR: BURGUNDY RED
In Tibet, red is the color of the sacred realm. While all shades have their place in temples and monasteries, burgundy belongs to the ordained monks or nuns, of whom there are thousands spread over the whole Tibetan plateau.
