Moon Phases HighRes
Buddhist monthly practice dates are lunar — since Shakyamuni Buddha was Enlightened on a Full Moon Day. The supreme practices follow the rhythm of the moon. Activity Day with the First Quarter Moon (especially for Tara and Karma family practices), Supreme Merit Day on the full moon (Shakyamuni, Amitabha), Reflection Day on the third quarter (Akshobhya) and the most import day, RENEWAL DAY on the New Moon (Vajrasattva and 35 Buddhas)
