Uposatha: The Lunar Observance
It is great karma and merit to observe it. |
The Buddha taught that the Uposatha day is for "the cleansing of the defiled mind/heart," resulting in inner calm and joy [3]. On this day, both lay and ordained members of the spiritual community or sangha intensify their practice, deepen their knowledge of Buddhism, and express communal commitment through millennia-old acts of lay-monastic reciprocity.
On these days, the lay followers make a conscious effort to keep the Eight Precepts or as the tradition suggests the Ten Precepts rather than the regular Five Precepts kept all the rest of the time. It is a day for practicing the Buddha's teachings and meditation. More
