More Laity Than Monastics






There are not only one hundred, or five hundred, but far more men and women adherents, my disciples, clothed in white, enjoying sensuality, who carry out my instruction, respond to my advice, have gone beyond doubt, become free from perplexity, gained intrepidity, and become independent of others in my teaching.

~The Buddha


Note: At one time monks and nuns wore saffron and lay men and women wore white.
