<Dear Yong Peng,
Thank you very much. I do not mind about the absolute time,
celebration with Dhamma discussions can be all day!

Funny to see how things sometimes run full circle.

I think it was first decided to fix the Uposatha days to the moon phases for purely practical reasons. The moon is not especially sacred in Buddhism, but it was easy to see, at least when the sky is clear, and there were no printed calendars at the Buddha's time. (There wasn't any smog either to hide the moon, and not much light pollution.)

And now we look at printed or on-line calendars to see when the full moon is...
