        In the Teaching of the Buddha, the days for observance of the eight precepts are called uposatha divasa or uposatha days. The eighth and fifteenth days (Full Moon days) of the waxing half of the lunar month and the eighth and either the fourteenth or the fifteenth days (New Moon Day) of waning half of the lunar month are the fasting days.
