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.

fierce heat too. If water quenches the thirst, then it also causes devastation

tries to take anything out, no matter what it is, it will surely stink. Similarly, all his
aspirations for future resemble the desire to fly like a bird, whenever he will try,
he is bound to fall hard and hit the ground.

The reach of entire science is within the parameters of time and space... Whereas

many mysteries will always remain mysteries for science.
