@Chamath5A Yes, i am completely mental. I have many Buddhist monks as friends, i know lots of them chose to be celibate, but i know some that aren't shuch as in Pureland and Zen.

@Undech01 Iv'e always wondered, thanx!

@arivas713 it only depends on what dyes are available in those countries.

@arivas713 The colours are not too dificult to understand. In the Mahanikaya sect of Theravada, city monks wear the bright orange robes like this monk, and the forest monks wear a more muted and earthy orange. The Dhammayutta Nikaya monks only wear the muted orange. I think the same goes for Cambodia, and I think that all Sri Lankan monks use the same system with forest and city monks. All Burmese Theravada monks wear a sort of burgundy colour.

@neuroglejak oh i understand that, call it simple curiosity on my part, but i have always wondered what the different colors mean.u see i have an interest in theravada buddhism and indochinese (do people still use this term?) culture in general,and ur vid and others like it only seem to have widen my curiosity, i guess they call it armchair vacationing.-keep up the good work- thumbs up too.

Kisina meditations become like photographic memories, but that is only a minor technique.
can anyone clear up my ignorance. why are some Theravada monks clad in red while others in orange?-different sects? if so how many color robed sects are there?-thanx

@arivas713 It's not important what is color:)

Hey i heard that after many years of visual meditation (imagining detailed images and all that) The theravada monks are able to in effect 'learn' how to have a photographic memory. Is this true? and if so What type of meditation is it?
