Robes

Cīvarasutta

from: 19. Wilderness Dwellers

Robes

“Mendicants, these five wear rag robes. What five? One may wear rag robes because of stupidity … corrupt wishes … madness … because it is praised by the Buddhas … or for the sake of having few wishes … These are the five who wear rag robes.”
