The price they asked was very cheap, even for India. So (to paraphrase) when I asked "I can really buy those clothes like that? Even if I'm not a Buddhist monk?" the tibetian woman replied "No, those are only for priests." - "But I am not one." - "Maybe you should become one." - "Huh? Errm, err, no, thank you." That was weird. I'm still a little disappointed that I didn't get to buy those cool clothes.

That was brilliant.

I was really in the process of buying the clothes, we already talked about that they needed to take my measure and I needed to wait a day or two before they are ready. So I was really surprised when she asked me in her cheerful way if I didn't want to become a monk, as if there's not more to it than changing the clothes.

Well I think such life change is a bit like swimming. Yeah, it requires some effort, and will be a lot different than what you experienced before - but it all starts with jumping in (or buying the robe). The rest you can either do, or you can't. :P I am guessing if you had said yes, she would have hooked you up with some people.

Ich,
Would you feel guilty buying the robes if they were offered on eBay?
