Monastic Precept Around Eating After Noon Meal

Some people choose to follow a monastic precept of not eating after the noon meal, although it's optional based on individual bodies, health, and practice.

Different places have different practices - for instance, at Goenka, dinner consists of tea and fruit, leading many to opt for a light dinner to maintain energy levels.
