Blood moon eclipse Uposatha (3/13)



Total lunar eclipse happens tonight and Friday morning
Strange cloudy weather may conceal eclipse
(FOX Weather) March 13th, 2025: FOX Weather Meteorologist Stephen Morgan explains the timing of the Blood Moon total lunar eclipse tonight and Friday morning. All you need to see the eclipse is to step outside and look up, but millions may have cloudy sky blocking their view.

Harken, it's time to awaken, deluded Earth Man.
O, Moon Goddess, I was having a wild dream.
An Uposatha (Sanskrit Upavasatha) day is a Buddhist day of observance, in existence since before the Buddha's time (600 BCE) and still being kept today by Buddhist practitioners as he advised [1, 2].

The Buddha taught that the Uposatha Day is for "the cleansing of the defiled mind/heart," resulting in inner calm and joy [3].

Eight spokes of the Dharma Wheel
On this day, both lay and ordained members of the sangha (spiritual community) intensify their practice, deepen their knowledge of the Teachings, and express communal commitment through millennia-old acts of lay-monastic reciprocity.

On these days, lay followers make a conscious effort to keep the Eight Precepts or (as the tradition suggests) Ten Precepts of intensive practice, over the ordinary Five Precepts observed all of the rest of the time. It is a day specially set aside for practicing the Buddha's Teachings and engaging in meditation. More
