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.

For which of you desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
- Bible
Nature is all-round balanced by two polar opposites. As there have been
mountains on the earth, equal have been valleys. As vast as the space is,
equally expansive is time. Here, the measure in which negative energy exists,
in the same measure positive energy also exists... It is this balance, which has
made nature sustain itself and we are in this situation today, because we have
disrupted our balance.
- Deep Trivedi
God has chosen us as the medium between him and the world, so that whatever
he sends...we distribute in the world and what he desires...we glean it from the
world and deliver it to him.
- Deep Trivedi
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door, and open the love-window. The moon won’t use the door, only the window.
