Buddhist Tartan?

[Fedgunner]

Not to be a tosser here...

In another forum, I was informed that anyone who was not a protestant, observed wearing a saffron kilt (In Ireland) would bring forth calls for blood.

I hurt some feelings when I complained.

wouldn't a Buddist tartan have to incorperate all tartans?

for they are "one with everything"

I wear a saffron color coat that my mom and sister gave me two Christmas' ago...I'll stay in michigan, just to be safe!

Oh, I don't think you would have anything to worry about pipesndrumsnun. It's all just silly talk anyway. It is interesting to think about tartans that end up in other cultures and all. The people I grew up around, Navajo and Zuni, kind of have their own types of tartan like weaving. It's all fun.

For some reason this idea has come to be identified with Buddhism. It isn't. In all of the schools of Buddhism monism ("All is one") is either refuted or said to be not the most profound view. The highest Buddhist view is neither "all is one" nor "all is many." It is dependent origination, the view that all things arise, abide and dissolve in dependence upon other phenomena, rather than existing solidly, inherently or eternally.

That reminds me of a joke I heard:

Q: What did the Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor?
A: "Make me one with everything."

One of my Buddhist teachers once told me that to make Buddhist clothing, one way is to use fabric from old clothing that I don't wear anymore (or from thrift-store clothes), so I don't waste that fabric. I'd like to do that with a kilt, but I doubt I'll be able to find much clothing made of 13+ oz. worsted wool.

So my second-best idea is to find a Buddhist tartan.
