The Origins of Buddhism and the Nun’s Robe

Buddhism, founded by Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, over 2,500 years ago, is a path of wisdom, compassion, and mindfulness.

In the Buddha’s time, nuns (bhikkhunīs) were welcomed into the Sangha, the community of practitioners, and given robes as a symbol of their renunciation and devotion. Just like monks, they fashioned robes from discarded cloths, dyed with roots and bark, stitched in patterns resembling rice fields.

This heritage of simplicity, humility, and purity continues today with Buddhist nuns across Asia and around the world.

The Meaning of the Nun’s Robe

The Buddhist nun’s robe (cīvara in Pali, kasaya in Sanskrit) represents a vow of spiritual dedication, compassion, and renunciation of worldly distractions.

To wear the robe is to walk the path of mindfulness, wisdom, and kindness, choosing simplicity and service over excess and attachment.

It is more than attire, it is a living vow to the Dharma.
