| The lunar observance is an ancient tradition. |
Uposatha is the "
Sabbath" lunar observance (on
Moon Days not Sun Days) the Buddha advocated as an ancient tradition of great
benefit. With support it is an excellent chance to practice restraint in the form of the
Eight Precepts. This leaves the most time for
meditation.

Our friend Ken Henderson feels the inner urge to observe the day the Buddha praised so highly. Except for browsing some news websites in the morning, Ken took his last meal at noon. Then he listened to online meditations and Dharma talks by Western monastics. He knew when best to practice because Forest Sangha has an excellent
observance calendar (
