Why do you want them? I mean if you were ordaining or assisting somebody to ordain then the monastery will know how to source them.

I will answer your questions sense you replied to this thread with questions... I don't want the robes or alms bowl, I will need them for future ordinations, I have ordained before and donated the robes back to the monastery after the monastery provided them to me. Unfortunately I am a small guy about 5'2". The robes which the Monastery has are for taller people which they recieve by dana. The Monastery knows where to get them in asia but does not know how to get them in America. And I am wondering if anyone knows where to get an alms bowl as well from the internet.

I think the answer then is to get them sent from asia, 5' 2" is pretty average there and it will be cheaper than sourcing them from ebay i'd think.

Thank you Goofaholix,
That's the problem I run into... I can't find any website from asia to order from... not even on amazon... Maybe google just wants to give me search results for my area or for the usa...

The eBay seller is in Thailand and has good feedback. If you were to send them a message explaining what you want they may be able to source it for you.

You said the monastery knows how to source them in asia, they will likely have contacts in Burma who should be able to arrange this. Normally there are a lot of people keen to donate monks robes and bowls, postage might be expensive for them but you might be able to find a way to reimburse them.

When the Abbot goes to Asia during our winter... he gets robes donated... But he is very tall so the robes are for very tall people. I didn't think about this but the Monastics that have gone for the winter that are there now I could e-mail!

Contact Jeff at Buddha for You in San Diego. He's an experienced practitioner, and has one of the best true Buddhist shops I've seen, and carries robes, bowls, statues, and many items from Asia. I feel confident he can source whatever you may need. http://buddha-for-you.com/

If you get a shiny new stainless steel bowl from www.tudong.com then you will need to fire it or "bake" it:
