Uposatha (逋沙陀: the first character is bào + máo fanqie. A Sanskrit word. Sūtras translate it as "abstinence" (齋), while in the Tang language it is called "prolonging purification" (長淨), which means gathering the assembly to confess committed offences, thereby increasing white dharmas and pure karma, hence called "prolonging purification").
