Inner Practice: Traditionally, Zen clothes have always been comfortable
and calming. In most Buddhist and Taoist countries, normal daily clothes have
been solid colors, natural fabrics, and simple styles. In almost all
contemplative centers now, the daily ware is kept simple and subdued as part of
the inner practice of calming and clearing the mind. Today, people practicing
mindfulness, martial arts, and Zen continue to ware natural fabrics in solid
colors: brown, blue, white, black, gold, maroon, gray and kaki. These traditional
color tones have proven helpful for cultivating concentration and awareness.
While bright colors and most patterns visually stimulate the mind, most parents
and teachers agree that children live in an overly stimulating and busy
environment that does not promote mental focus or balance. Simple solid colors
in clothing can help promote a calm environment. Solid pastels could work as well
as the darker tones. Experiment for yourself. No doubt, there is a time and
place for artsy clothes, and fun or flashy clothes that are abundantly available.
ZHS is offering this section for your consideration especially if you are trying
to develop more calmness and clarity in your environment. Try the "Mindfulness of
Clothing" practice at home or at school. The clothes we all ware may have more
influence on our lives (and that of the people we are around) than we realize.
In general, let simplicity and elegance guide the way. Order online, or help
support your local clothes makers. Drive less.
