The Fast Day Precepts – Poṣadha Gātha
On the four days of the lunar month, spend as much of the day as possible in your sacred space,
or in a Buddhist temple or monastery, to read the Buddha’s sūtras and practice meditation. It is
recommended to take three additional vows for the day, known as the Fast Day Precepts
(Poṣadha Gātha – lit. Verse of the Observance). Alternatively, and more popularly, you may
attend parties and festivals and practice devotional sacred sex rituals. To take the vows, kneel
and recite the following, in Sanskrit and in English:
vikāle ’pi bhojanaṃ
nṛitya gīta vibhūṣāñ ca vajrayiṣyāmi sotsavān
ucchaiḥśayyāṃ mahāsayyaṃ
1. “I will not eat untimely.” Eat once, after sunrise and before noon.
2. “I will abandon joyous dancing, singing, and dressing up.”
3. “I will not use a high or large bed.”
Recite 3x.
Conduct - Śīla
Follow the ethical guidelines of the Dharma each day:
1. Right Speech (Samyag Vācā): Speak with kindness and truthfulness, avoid harsh or idle
words.
2. Right Action (Samyak Karmānta): Do not kill, steal, or engage in sexual misconduct.
3. Right Livelihood (Samyag Ājīva): Perform work that helps you and others and does not harm.
Holy Days - Pūjā
Honor the Buddha’s birthday, enlightenment, and death on Vaiśākha. You are encouraged to eat
only vegetarian food, observe all eight Fast Day Precepts, be generous to others, venerate the
Buddha, study Dharma and spend time in meditation. You can also be spend them in heavy
celebrations and drunken revelry.
