Gerard Posted August 28, 2009 Detach from the world, increase your silent and solitary meditation time, purify your mind, strengthen your life force and rise your spirit; it is time for the big fasting: one month of not taking any food and drinking only water (adapted to Buddhists and Taoists).  رمضان كريم Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vajrasattva Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) Yes its is truly a special thing to observe and do. Its been going great so far.  Happy Ramadan & Festivities to all.  You can eat afterthe sun goes down and before it comes up again.  Its the best time to make prayers, zikr, & any kind of spiritual practice. Dedicate your efforts to the Divine Most High & Creator.  wsalams  Santiago Edited August 28, 2009 by Vajrasattva Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mal Posted August 29, 2009 I don't usually eat more than fruit during the day anyhow. But I've given that away for Ramadan (I still drink water whenever) Â also reading the Tao Te Ching and Hua Hu Ching. Â It's not much of a change but I'm enjoying it.

Zenshiite Posted September 17, 2009 It fascinates me that you guys are observing fasting in specific relation to Ramadan. Â Please, explain your reasons. Not that you have to have any, but I'm curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerard Posted September 17, 2009 No reasons for me, Â It is a natural process of spiritual cultivation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenshiite Posted September 18, 2009 No reasons for me, Â It is a natural process of spiritual cultivation. Â Â True enough. I'm just wondering, why Ramadan specifically? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
