Edgar Owen <I believe the tradition is that a beggars bowl and his
loincloth or robe were his only possessions. The rest he left behind
with his family.

Sure, but this guy was sitting in a cave for nine years. He was not
begging town-to-town. Somebody had to feed him for nine years,
somebody was paying his way to enlightenment. Somebody else was
busting his own chops and cracking his own nuts so that Buddha-boy
could have a sandwich every day.
Not to mention that the loincloth had to be pretty dirty after sitting
on it for nine years. Let's hope he was getting at least a new one
every year.
