Vinaya text on the assembly of monks for Uposatha which is called Parisuddhi Uposatha (Uposatha meeting where monks declare their individual purity). The Parisuddhi Uposatha is used in case the number of monks is two or three. This means the monks telling purity to each other without the recitation of Patimokkha. Each of the monks declares in Pali that he is free from any offences. If there is only one monk, he is to observe the uposatha alone. The Buddha had enjoined that he is to resolve: “Today is my uposatha day”. This means that he is mindful of this day constantly. Such an uposatha is known as Adhiṭṭhā Uposatha (Uposatha kept firmly in one’s mind).
