Fasting in the monastic community is considered an ascetic practice, a “dhutanga” practice. Dhutanga means “to shake up” or “invigoration”.

There lives at least one being who can never change - one being who would be content to devote his whole existence to your happiness - who lives but in your eyes-who breathes but in your smiles, who bears the heavy burden of life itself only for you.
-Charles Dickens
