Why didn't Buddhist ascetics go naked like Jains and yogis?
Jainism has two sects, white-clad and sky-clad, whereas Buddhism has saffron robes for all.
.
Ah, nudity is great. - What about white robes?
It was hot in proto-India in the Buddha's time. Pointing the way to freedom and final liberation or moksha was as free as the deer, wandering where they list in search of (alms) food. But there were obstacles. The Awakened One, the Buddha, had freed himself. Now it was time to make known the Path to Freedom, the Dharma. But how long would that knowledge last in the world? It had gone out before and was sure to dim again.
We shramanas existed long before the Buddha
He realized he needed a spiritual community of successful practitioners, a Noble Sangha, where "noble" means "enlightened" (Ayran) and Sangha means "spiritual community." There are various stages of enlightenment, from four kinds of stream entry to arhatship. They are detailed in the Path to Freedom and condensed in the Path of Purification. This Sangha would have them all.
To keep it going and to preserve the Teachings, the Buddha laid down rules in a Disciplinary Code (Vinaya Pitaka), with explanations for why each rule was instituted. The monastics recited about 227 core rules, the Patimokkha ("Path to Liberation"), each fortnight. If followed, they would ensure the long life of Buddhism (the Dharma), enlightened beings on earth (a Noble Sangha), and inspire confidence in new practitioners.
The Guru is naked (Jainism)
How was it going to look if monks and nuns went around naked? It was not unheard of. The Jains led by contemporary teacher Mahavira ("Great Hero"), the Nigantha Nattaputta, had already accepted females into the monastic community. That was a first. The Buddha always intended to, as he knew that his Sangha would not be complete until there were the four kinds of people (male and female monastics and laypersons).
This whole business about extra rules for nuns or not wanting to accept women is very suspect and seems more a conspiracy by male monastics to keep their all-boys club or wrest control of it from any kind of actual democracy. The Buddha had set up the first democratic rules, pre-Greece for its governance. See the scholarship of Ayya Tathaloka for evidence in the Bhikkhuni Vinaya of the later appearance of the garudhammas or "eight additional rules" and their unlikely back story.
Naked Mahavira: We don't need Five Requisites
The Buddha explained exactly why he allowed Five Requisites for Buddhist wandering ascetics -- robes of stitched cast-off garments, ceramic bowl, allowable medicines, shaving razor, needle and thread -- and the kinds of accommodations they were permitted. Rather than hairy, disheveled, wild men and women wandering around the hillsides naked and covered in ashes, he foresaw a better way, the perfection of the "pure life" of blamelessness for intensive practitioners wishing to make a quick end of all suffering.
Nude is not all it's cracked up to be, but the view at night in the Sierra Nevada, it's awe inspiring!
Nirvana was here. And now a means of enlightenment and attainment of the bliss of nirvana had arrived with the Buddha. Many made use of it and so, even today, the world has arhats and those on the path to full enlightenment. And Buddhism became the first universal missionary religion spreading far and wide, outside the subcontinent into neighboring countries and lands. The rules made that possible. Hooray for the Monastic Disciplinary Code (Vinaya). And people, if they want, they can go about naked.

Lynda Carter was born in former Mexico (Phoenix, Arizona, in the American Southwest). She is the daughter of Mexican Juana Carter (née Córdova) and Colby Carter [1, 5]. Her mother, whose family hailed from Mexico, is of Mexican, Spanish, and French descent [6, 7], like most "Mexicans," who are blended or mixed (Mestizo), part European and part Indigenous DNA. Her father is of Irish and English ancestry.
The snap of Lynda Carter in the 1970s showed her wearing a silver sparkling swimsuit with a low-cut V-neck and rosette detailing.
Posing with her hands on her hips, Carter's brunette hair fell down her back in loose waves ad featured a bouffant that was the trend at the time.
The actress revealed that the photoshoot, taken decades ago, inspired the cover art for her new single "Pink Slip Lollipop," which will be released on June 21, 2024.
"The photo shoot that inspired the cover art for Pink Slip Lollipop. Will you be listening 6/21? #newmusic #pinksliplollipop," she captioned the post, which featured a sneak peek at the cover which was taken from the same photoshoot.

Lynda Carter's musical journey, which predates her iconic role as Wonder Woman, has been a lifelong passion.
"I've been singing for over 50 years. I started singing in clubs when I was 14 and was writing music before I became an actor," she told People magazine in 2024.

In March she released "Letters from Earth," a single she called "a love letter to those we've lost," particularly her husband of over 35 years, Robert Altman, whom she married in 1984 and who passed away after a battle with blood cancer in 2021.
Together they raised two children, and Carter said he was "the great love of my life."
"The soul of the song is about how you miss a person so much because they're such a presence in your life that it's almost impossible to imagine that you won't physically see them again in this life," she said.

"You wonder, 'How can I communicate with you? Where are you? You didn't just die; there's too much of you left on this earth, too many people that love you.'"
She added: "These letters are almost a prayer to your loved one. Hopefully people will relate to it. It's a celebration of love, as much as it is heartbreaking." More

(Breitbart via TheJewishVoice.com) Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot plans to screen [atrocity propaganda] footage provided by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) that [is allegedly authentic, undoctored, and] shows atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists [El Qassam Brigades fighters] when they entered Israel on October 7 and [allegedly] began a barbaric campaign of rape, murder, and mass kidnappings [though it is now known that most of the armed active duty soldiers and young IDF veterans at the rave were killed by the cowardly IDF when they arrived and began shooting and bombing what ended up being Jewish Israelis hiding from the attack that started six hours earlier, as reported by a Jewish Israeli survivor who saw the IDF do it and miraculously survived, although the IDF is sure to scrub all videos showing that as it delivers a propaganda presentation for famous Gal Gadot to spread].
POST SHARED BY GUY NATTIV (@GUY_NATTIV)
Israel news outlet 124 reports the Hollywood screening of the 47-minute [propaganda reel] sequence is scheduled to take place in front of a specially chosen audience, featuring celebrities and prominent figures.
Oscar-winning director Guy Nattiv, who spearheaded the initiative, revealed to 124, “[IDF veteran] Gal Gadot and her husband, Yaron Varsano, helped make this possible.”
Specific details concerning the date and the confirmed guest list are yet to be finalized. The i24 report continues:
Nattiv, a self-proclaimed humanist [but actually a Zionist Jewish IDF sympathizer] advocating for a two-state solution, drew a heartfelt connection to the footage.
He referred back to the Holocaust [as is so often done to stir emotion rather than reason in his audience], when the world mostly remained indifferent to the suffering of the Jewish population, and emphasized, “As a filmmaker, I swore that these images of October 7 would not be forgotten, and the world would see them.
I'm still an IDF militant behind a desk.
[NOTE: If true, if these things happened, according to US Marine Intelligence and former UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter, because the El Qassam Brigades and Hamas wanted to elicit exactly this response from the IDF and state of Israel because the two-state solution, which Israel has never wanted, was languishing and Gazans were simply dying, being forgotten, and were constantly tormented by young IDF soldiers such as Gal Gadot, and everyone else subject to mandatory enlistment, which may have even included rave attack poster girl Shani Louk, until they could be starved out and reduced to a manageable size for extermination, dispossession, forced relocation to the sea or Sinai Desert, Egypt, Jordan, or anywhere else where Israel could wash their hands of responsibility for these open-air prisoners, which by law they must feed, water, and provide shelter and necessities for. Now, having successfully drawn Israel to reveal its hand and war crime practices of ethnic cleansing, collective punishment, and more, the two-state solution is back on the table whether Israel likes it or not. Currently, it is conducting a free for all revenge bloodletting, as one would expect of the world's most moral military, and then it can sabotage Gaza to prove its people never deserved a chance, much less a right of return, and punish any neighboring Arab or Muslim country that tries to help it.]
“Because now the denial begins – it is a fake, it is not a fake (…) We cannot pass by in silence.”
He also emphasized the diverse audience for the screening, stating, “People who have film experience, so we can show them this crazy document that is reminiscent of the films created about the Holocaust.”
[We really want to stir them up so they will continue to make Holocaust movies and now Oct. 7th movies, like a 9/11 film, and never forget, and leave the Israeli military alone no matter what it does to exact revenge or behave like the militaries that harmed Jews, the "chosen people" in contravention to their Bible, which orders them to treat us well.]
The plan is to have one screening initially for 120 viewers, with the possibility of further screenings depending on the interest it generates. [If it is too gory, maybe the IDF can doctor and edit it to tone it down and, if not gory enough, maybe the IDF can doctor and edit it for extra punch, horror, and spectacle until we elicit the response we're going for to control the narrative as we see fit.] More
A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare [or the guy who really wrote it, namely, Edward de Vere*] runs at 7:00 pm Sunday, Sept. 3, 2023.
Join the Independent Shakespeare Company at Griffith Park (near the old zoo, above the old merry-go-round) for a wild and joyous night of laughs that features live music and more than a few surprises.
The mortal and the magical (human and fairy) are intertwined in Shakespeare’s most intoxicating comedy. As the fairy king and queen battle, four young Athenian lovers go on the run, and a group of hilarious amateur actors (including Bottom) prepare for the biggest performance of their lives.
Free Shakespeare in the Park, under the rare Super Blue Moon, enjoy the classic source of all sitcom humor, the ancient and poetic "A Midsummer Night's Dream.
"It's a play-within-a-play in two worlds, as four star crossed human lovers struggle to be with the person they love, while mystic fairies in the forest create mischief, mirth, and amusements for themselves toying with mortals and their youthful lust and romantic pursuits.
WHAT'S THIS PLAY ABOUT? One prince loves a princess, but he's Black, so the Latino dad doesn't want him to marry his white daughter. He wants her to marry the Latin guy. But that Latin lover had sex with another princess, the first princess' best friend, and now she's all whipped on the handsome Latin guy. Meanwhile, working class British dummies are rehearsing to do a play, but this one guy named Bottom (the ass), keeps stealing the show. He gets the most laughs. The fairy people are doing magic, spells, love potions, and witchcraft, messing up the humans' plans. The play inside the play is about two hot young people, Pyramus and Thisbe, in love trying to hook up but separated by a wall until they decide to run off together. But there's a misunderstanding and some suicide, though it's just a play. There's still a real world a dreamy world of spirits, who are also very real in their own kingdom.
The fairies have troubles of their own. The Fairy King Oberon wants a Buddhist/Hindu boy from India, who's in the care of the Fairy Queen Titania and will do anything to get him, even use his fairy servant Puck (played by this funny young punk rock girl with a mohawk) to get him some flower potion, which placed in the eye causes any person to fall in love with the next person one sees.
What to bring to the park for a good time
So the fairy queen is made to fall in love with a transformed human turned into an ass (one of the players rehearsing in the forest), and one lover falls in love with another's love by the misuse of the love potion.
Meanwhile, the King of Athens Theseus prepares to wed a foreign princess, Hippolyta, who's unhappy as he sides with a father trying to boss his beautiful daughter around and telling her who to marry. That's as good a summary as any. RSVP FREE:
Maxwell/Epstein child victim and whistleblower Virginia Roberts Giuffre on 60 Minutes
.
Child molester Prince Andrew with kid
In the summer of 2000 [20, 21] child sex victim Virginia Roberts, 17,(pictured at left with child molester Prince Andrew) first met madame Ghislaine Maxwell when working as a spa attendant at Donald Trump's private Mar-a-Lago club while reading a book about massage therapy [16].
Ghislaine [\ghee-layne\] Maxwell, a British socialite and daughter of the late media tycoon Robert Maxwell, approached young Virginia Roberts, noted the book that she was reading, inquired about her interest in massage, and offered her a potential job working for child rapist and trafficker Jeffrey Epstein as a traveling masseuse with the assurance that no experience was necessary [16].
Roberts has stated that after Maxwell introduced her to Jeffrey Epstein, the two quickly began "grooming" her [preparing her for sexual assault] to provide sexual services under the guise that she was to be trained as a professional massage therapist [22].
Between 2000 and 2002, Roberts was closely associated with Epstein and Maxwell, traveling between billionaire blackmailer Epstein's residences in Palm Beach and Manhattan (at the Herbert N. Straus House), with additional trips to Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico and private "Pedophile Island" (Little Saint James) [23].
I'm going to traffick your child worker, Don.
In the Miami Herald's award-winning [24] investigative journalism series "Perversion of Justice," Roberts describes her experiences of being sexually trafficked by child molester Jeffrey Epstein to provide massages and sexual services for him and a number of his rich, white business associates over a two-and-a-half-year period [25].
In March [10] 2001 Roberts was trafficked to Prince Andrew. She stated in an interview that it was a "wicked" and "really scary time" in her life and that she "couldn't comprehend how in the highest level of the government powerful people were allowing this to happen. Not just allowing but participating in it" [26].
In court documents from an unsealed civil suit released from 2019, Roberts named several others that she claims Epstein and Maxwell instructed her to have sex with, including
hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin
attorney Alan Dershowitz
politician Bill Richardson
late MIT scientist Marvin Minsky
lawyer George J. Mitchell
MC2 modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel [27, 28].
Friend of Prince Andrew Ghislaine Maxwell with monster Kevin Spacey on thrones
In September 2002, at the age of 19, Roberts was flown to Thailand to attend the International Training Massage School [29, 30] in Chiang Mai [31].
Maxwell provided her with tickets to travel to Thailand and instructed to meet with a specific Thai girl to bring her back to the United States for Epstein [32].
While at the massage school in Thailand in 2002, she met Robert Giuffre, an Australian martial arts trainer, and the two married quickly thereafter [15]. She added Giuffre to her name and contacted Epstein and informed him that she would not be returning as planned.
She and her husband started a life and family in Australia, and Roberts Giuffre broke off contact with Epstein and Maxwell [22]. For five years, Roberts Giuffre and her husband lived a quiet life in Australia with their young children. More
