Fasting in the monastic community is considered an ascetic practice, a “dhutanga” practice. Dhutanga means “to shake up” or “invigoration”. The Buddha, as is well known, emphasized moderation, the Middle Way that avoids extremes, in all things. Fasting is an additional method that one can take up, with supervision, for a time.

revolving of the earth or digestion of your food. Be it blowing of the wind or
breathing. Be it even making a melody or a discovery.

of the ocean with awareness even for a second, all your sorrows will get
dissipated; because then you will be left with no pride of being someone "great"
or "exceptional".
