Everything we wear says something about us¡Xhow we see ourselves and want others to see us. Zen reminds us that the clothes don¡¦t make the man or woman. Underneath the outer trappings, we¡¦re all naked and divine.aPN-UU ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ !1 Once, when the zen master Ikkyu was invited to a banquet, he showed up wearing his tattered traveling robe and straw hat. He was mistaken for a beggar and sent to the backdoor, where he was ushered away from the feast.dv09@ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ s The next time he received an invitation, Ikkyu appeared in his ceremonial robes. Upon being served, he removed the robes and set them before this tray.
¡§What are you doing?¡¨ the host asked.+ ¡§The food belongs to the robes, not me,¡¨ said Ikkyu on his way out the door.~%kr1 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ #Ap'5 We all don a uniform when we dress ourselves in the morning¡Xeven those people who wear the robes of zen monks. What does your dress say about you?
