Sabbath
Uposatha [Vedic upavasatha, the eve of the Soma sacrifice, day of preparation]. — At the time of the rise of Buddhism the word had come to mean the day preceding four stages of the moon's waxing and waning, viz. 1st, 8th, 15th, {151} 23d nights of the lunar month that is to say, a weekly sacred day, a Sabbath. These days were utilized by the pre-Buddhistic reforming communities for the expounding of their views, Vin I 101. The Buddhists adopted this practice and on the 15th day of the half-month held a chapter of the Order to expound their dhamma, ibid. 102. They also utilized one or other of these Up. days for the recitation of the Pāṭimokkha (pāṭimokkh'uddesa), ibid. On Up. days laymen take upon themselves the Up. vows, that is to say, the eight Sīlas, during the day. See Sīla. The day in the middle of the month is called cātudassiko or paṇṇarasiko according as the month is shorter or longer. The reckoning is not by the month (māsa), but by the half-month (pakkha), so the twenty-third day is simply aṭṭhamī, the same as the eighth day. There is an occasional Up. called sāmaggi-uposatho, "reconciliation-Up.", which is held when a quarrel among the fraternity has been made up, the general confession forming as it were a seal to the reconciliation (Vin V 123). — Vin I 111, 112, 175, 177; II 5, 32, 204, 276; III 164, 169; D III 60, 61, 145, 147; A I 205 f. (3 uposathas: gopālaka°, nigaṇṭha°, ariya°), 208 (dhamm°), 211 (devatā°); IV 248 (aṭṭhaṅga-samannāgata), 258 f. (the same), 276, 388 (navah'aṅgehi upavuttha); V 83; Snp 153 (pannaraso u.); Vibh 422; Vism 227 (°sutta = A I 206 f. ); Saddh 439; Sv I 139; Pj II 199; Vv-a 71, 109; Pv-a 66, 201. — The hall or chapel in the monastery in which the Pāṭimokkha is recited is called uposathaggaṃ (Vin III 66), or °āgāraṃ (Vin I 107; Dhp-a II 49). The Up. service is called °kamma (Vin I 102; V 142; Ja I 232; III 342, 444; Dhp-a I 205). uposathaṃ karoti to hold the Up. service (Vin I 107, 175, 177; Ja I 425). Keeping the Sabbath (by laymen) is called uposathaṃ upavasati (A I 142, 144, 205, 208; IV 248; see upavasati), or uposathavāsaṃ vasati (Ja V 177). The ceremony of a layman taking upon himself the eight sīlas is called uposathaṃ samādiyati (see sīlaṃ and samādiyati); uposatha-sīla observance of the Up. (Vv-a 71). The Up. day or Sabbath is also called uposatha-divasa (Ja III 52).
(for non-buddhists) a fast day, a day of purification; (for Buddhists) a day on which lay-followers undertake to observe eight abstinence and on which they listen to teaching on the dhamma (usually the day preceding the nights of the new moon and the full moon, and the night midway between the two, i.e. the eighth, fourteenth and/or fifteenth days of the lunar fortnight; sometimes also the fifth day); the observance of this day; the abstinence undertaken on this day; the day on which the saṅgha assembles to confess any faults and to recite the pātimokkha q.v. (usually the fourteenth or fifteenth day of the lunar fortnight); the ceremony or (formal) act on this day
