He who, though dressed in fine apparel, exercises tranquillity, is quiet, subdued, restrained, chaste, and has ceased to find fault with all other beings, he indeed is a Brahmana, an ascetic (sramana), a friar (bhikshu).

According to the Dhammapada, it is not appearance that makes the Brahmana (the holy man), the Sramana (the ascetic) or the Bhikshu (the monk), but inner peace, self-mastery and harming no being. Today, whatever your clothes or your position, take care to hurt no one, neither by a gesture nor by a word, and keep your calm in a tense moment.
