Nowadays, we can often attend ceremonies endowed with a somehow formal outlook, a bit ceremonial indeed, with recitations. This kind of ceremony could be much more informal: Quite simply when we see a monk wearing worn out or damaged robes, a person can, from his/her own initiative, proceed to buy him a set of robes and bring it to him without all this necessarily calling for recitation or anything whatsoever. However, the world being the way it is, people being the way they are, there is quite a natural need — besides understood and anticipated by Buddha — on the behalf of communities, of the behalf of people, to indulge into things assuming more formal, more ceremonial aspects. Buddha has, admittedly, given no counter-indication against such a thing. The monk is the one who can, by himself, discriminate between things. He is the one who should understand by himself what is going on.
