As I understand, Sinhala astrologers use different month boundaries, and intercalation and full-moon definitions than the Pāli/Sanskrit rules, which is why Sinhala astrologers consider the next full moon to be Vesak.

Happy Adhījeṭṭha Uposatha or Vesak (on Saturday)

Uposattha For Modern Times

The Buddhist religion has a very old tradition originally called Uposatha1 or Upavasatha,2 that is vaguely similar to the Jewish sabbath. In traditional Theravada-Buddhist countries (e.g. Myanmar, Thailand, etc), monks and nuns recite the old monastic code on the full and new moons. #buddhism #uposatha #六斎日

The Five Mindfulness Trainings have their root in the Five Precepts offered by the Buddha.

The second training is to practice social justice, generosity, not stealing and not exploiting other living beings.

The Five Mindfulness Trainings have their root in the Five Precepts offered by the Buddha.

The first training is to protect life, to decrease violence in oneself, in the family and in society.

Aware of the suffering caused by the destruction of life, I am committed to cultivating the insight of interbeing and compassion and learning ways to protect the lives of people, animals, plants, and minerals.

After many months of not doing it, I’m observing the #Uposatha today.

It’s incredible how easy it is to maintain a serene mind of goodwill after fasting after midday and abstaining from hyper-stimulation for the whole day.

The Buddha really knew what he was doing, is what I’m saying 🤓

Yesterday’s 8-precept ‘purification day’ (#uposatha) observance went well. Meditated, rested, did some laundry and some reading in the evening. Not eating after lunch was surprisingly easy (R helped out by making me a big filling plate of pasta for my midday meal!) and I felt like I had a bit more energy late in the day. Next one is the new moon next Saturday!
