Traditional Meditation Pants

Description

Our Traditional Korean Zen Clothing Set is the age-old version of this important element of practice, but updated slightly for the modern age for ease of cleaning and maintenance. These clothes are not some mass-produced knockoff made in some anonymous factory in China or somewhere: They are made of pure cotton by Korean seamstresses who dedicate their lives to clothing only monks and nuns. The Traditional Korean Zen Clothing Set consists of the baggy pants and a velcro-fastener for ease of wearing. There are two deep pockets for carrying your beads and tissues in the Dharma Room. Some of our Retreatants like these pants so much, they even wear them to business meetings and when doing errands for their home.

The only distinctive monastic version of this ensemble is the gray color, as a mark of asceticism. Such garments show detachment from material possessions, being “in the world, but not of the world.”
