One should not kill living beings or take what is not given;
one should not speak falsely or drink intoxicants.
One should abstain from sex, from impure conduct;
one should not eat at night [and] outside the prescribed time.
One should not wear garlands or apply perfumes;
one should sleep on a bed or a mat on the ground.
For this, they say, is the eightfold uposatha observance
taught by the Buddha, who has reached the end of suffering.
