Abstract
The following research's goals are; 1) to explore the garment in Theravada Buddhism, 2) investigate the robes’ covering in Theravada Buddhism, and 3) analysis the robe’s covering in Theravada Buddhism.
The Tripitaka and other relevant research articles were searched for information for this documentary study. In Theravada Buddhism, garment is valued as an essential commodity and is crucial to Buddhist monks. It could be regarded as a crucial component. Most people refer to Tricivara as a "three garment robe," which is made up of three pieces of cloth namely, 1) Uttarasanga (an upper robe), 2) Antaravasaka (an inner garment), and 3) Sanghati (outer robe).
The Tripitaka and other scriptures provide support for this. It can be obtained by collecting leftover pieces of cloth from the forest, sewing them into robes, or by accepting gifts from others.
The householder's garments are what they are known as. There is a different way to use each component of each piece of cloth, and there are additional rules about when to stop wearing the garment or robe. 1) Making a robe, 2) praying in a robe, 3) giving up a robe, 4) robe’s returning, 5) committing robe vandalism, and 6) withholding a robe. According to each Thai region where Theravada monks live, there are several sorts of robes available. There are four different types of robe coverings are as follows: (1) (Hm-khlum) covering both shoulders of the robes worn by monks and novices, (2) (Hm-Mungkorn) a garment that is twisted to the right and clamped in the left armpit, also known as the "dragon cloak," (3) (Hm-Perdlai) Covered shoulders that are opened, and (4) (Hm-dong) how to wrap a robe over a Buddhist monk's shoulder.
