Anyone doing anything to acknowledge Macha Bucha Day? This is the day to make merit.

(From the Bangkok Post) Makha Puja is regarded as the holiest of all Buddhist holy days. It was on this day when 1,250 disciples of Buddha, all of whom were ordained by Buddha himself, coincidentally came to visit him. Seeing the occasion as the opportune time to strengthen the rules of order, Buddha then delivered the sermon - Patimoka. The great sermon states the strict moral principles of daily practice found in Buddhism. This means doing good and abstaining from bad actions by observing the five precepts - do not kill, steal, behave promiscuously, lie, or take alcohol. Buddha also preached purifying one's mind by meditating.
