These holidays are called Uposatha days, and I enjoy observing them

Being Tranquil and Having Wisdom, by Ajahn Chah
I’ve often taught that tranquillity is stillness; flowing is wisdom. We practise meditation to calm the mind and make it still; then it can flow. In the beginning we learn what still water is like and what flowing water is like. After practising for a while we will see how these two support each other.

Morning meditation — We say that we’ll Practice.
‘We say that we’ll practice in this way—but only a day or two goes by, maybe just a few hours, and we forget all about it.’

Brothers and sisters in suffering, old age, sickness and death, by Ajahn Sumedho
