Eight Precepts in daily life

Hi Flavio,
This previous thread comes to mind as being relevant from a few months back regarding “high and luxurious beds”:

There seems to be a bit of leeway and differences in interpretation regarding what’s allowable after noon. I’ve seen small pieces of cheese or chocolate served in the afternoons (along with cups of tea with milk and sugar) in some Theravada/Thai forest associated retreats (while under 8 precepts) in my country, but relative strictness of interpretations may vary between different traditions! I’m not really that familiar with the the ins and outs of the rules for that! :slight_smile:
