Dhutanga

Dhutanga (also known as tapa) is a form of Buddhist practice that involves certain sets of rules or guidelines. These rules are designed to help us become more mindful and aware of our actions, thoughts and feelings. They also help us to be more disciplined in how we approach our daily lives. The rules involve things like getting up early in the morning, eating simple meals, wearing simple clothing, and living a life of simplicity and spiritual awareness. By following these rules, we can become closer to reaching enlightenment.
