So i heard the Buddha made a restriction against pillows half the size of the body (Is it in regard to the entire body or just the torso?) And that it has to be the size of the head. Is a 32.5 x 16 centimeters pillow small enough or should i make it smaller?
According to the BMC, the sugata spans is 25 cms but i have read some posts on the suttacentral site by a bhikkhuni who was versed in Sanskrit that asserts that it is more like 43 cms, is this agreed by many people here?
Is the outer robe required to have at least 5 cut sections (Khandas) or is just 4 ok? Is it an offence in the vinaya to have 4 sections (Khandas) on the outer robe?
Size of pillows, sections of robes and sugata spans
Discussion of ordination, the Vinaya and monastic life. How and where to ordain? Bhikkhuni ordination etc.
