उपोसथ

🙏 का साजरा केला जातो

On the full and new moons (and in some traditions the quarter moons), lay Buddhists visit the vihara and keep eight precepts, and monks recite the Patimokkha, their rules of discipline.

📖 यामागची कथा

King Bimbisara of Magadha noticed that wandering ascetics of other schools gathered on the moon days to teach, and asked the Buddha to do the same. The Buddha agreed, and the Uposatha became a regular day for renewing commitment to the path.
