Thai-Chinese novices
practicing
Mahayana Buddhism,
i.e.
the form of Buddhism which is today mainly
practiced in countries of northeastern Asia. These off-duty novices in Bangkok
are dressed in an orange jacket and long
baggy
kaangkaeng le trousers
(fig.),
though during prayers they are
likely to wear a long orange robe (fig.).
However, the dress for
Mahayana Buddhist monks and novices differs greatly
per country (fig.).
