To keep the sabbath is to practise austerity. This means observing three more precepts over and above the Five, namely not to have meals after twelve noon; not to amuse oneself with entertainment of any kind or use cosmetics and ornaments; and not to sleep on a comfortable bed or bedstead higher than half -a- metre. Besides, one tells one's beads and mediates on the Three Signs of Beings- the impermanence of life, sufferings of this existence and the non-self (the actual denial of the individual soul). (The Myanmar Buddhist: His life from the cradle to the grave)
Sabbath days are assiduously observed during the lenten months. The lenten months coincide with the monsoon season. Monks are not allowed to travel during Lent, so it is the duty of the faithful laity to see to their needs;hence the custom of offering Lenten Yellow Robes and candles.Such offerings are made so that the monks should spend the lenten time in quite meditation or study without having to worry about their needs.
