• 2010 Calendar of Buddhist Observance Days
  Calendar of Buddhist Uposatha (8-Precept Observance) Days

What can a lay Buddhist do even at home far from traditional Buddhist lands, temples, and societies? There are daily practices and periodic events on the Buddhist calendar. Out of the rich traditions found in Buddhist countries, here are three subjects: daily recollection or chanting to bring the Three Treasures to mind with some meditations; the Uposatha days along with the Eight Precepts practiced at those times; and the Rains-Retreat period of three months. Even where isolated Buddhists are fortunate enough to be near some Buddhist center, they will still benefit from these traditional practices, all of which are based on similar methods used in the East.
