Uposatha

Uposatha is a traditional Buddhist observance marking four sacred days each lunar month, typically aligning with new moon, full moon, and two quarter moon phases. On these days, practitioners deepen their spiritual practice through meditation, ethical reflection, and listening to teachings. It’s a time to reaffirm commitment to the Buddhist path, cultivate mindfulness, and observe precepts like refraining from harmful actions. Uposatha helps reinforce community bonds and encourages personal discipline, serving as a periodic moment for renewal and spiritual growth within the Buddhist tradition.
