Many people know about the Eight Precepts, but they don't realize how profound their merits are. Luang Pu Doo Phrompanyo of Wat Sakae, Ayutthaya Province, taught his disciples that the Eight Precepts are not just about abstaining from food and drink, but about instantly "elevating the mind" that very night.

May all of you prosper in generosity, morality, and meditation forever.
