What It Is
The full moon of the third lunar month, commemorating the day 1,250 enlightened disciples gathered spontaneously to hear the Buddha give the Ovada Patimokkha — the heart of the monastic code: cease from evil, cultivate the good, purify the mind.
How to Observe It
Honor sangha today — the community that carries the teaching. Reach out to a spiritual friend. Renew your own precepts. The condensed teaching is your compass: refrain, cultivate, purify.
