The Festival of the Buddha known as WESAK or VESAK
The Wesak festival in the Buddhist global community is a date that the birth, enlightenment, and departure of Gautama Buddha from the human world is celebrated with festivity, meditations and prayers as a sacred or holy day. This day is now marked in parts of the world as a holiday in the annual calendar of the Buddhist community and it traditionally falls on the Full Moon of Taurus being the birth Zodiac sign of Buddha. Buddha is the head of the Golden City of Shamballa from where the Divine Will flows into the world as the light that illuminates the minds of mankind with Divine wisdom and knowledge awakening their higher consciousness from the world of illusion. Buddha’s teachings have enlightened minds down the ages in the practice of meditation that is central to his teachings. His guidance and teachings are now observed globally with the acceptance of the practice of meditation and mindfulness as powerful tools and processes for the rebalancing of mental disorders and the healing of their symptoms mirrored in body ailments and emotional dysfunctions. As humanity grows more enlighten in their nature and livingness so does the appreciation of the enlightened Science of Meditation and spiritual teachings of Buddha become a way of life for seekers on the Path of Light.
The Buddha is the expression of the Will and Love-Wisdom of the Divine, the embodiment of Light. The Festival of Buddha is to the East equivalent to the celebration of Easter in the west in memory of the birth, death and resurrection of the Living Christ. Easter is observed in or around the April Full Moon the birth-date of the Living Christ. During this time we remember the Love Christ came to show mankind and gave his life on the cross so they may know the unconditional giving of Divine Love the nature of God that is in all being. On the inner world Christ is the head of the Hierarchy and through his ashram Divine Love flows into our world. The service of these two Lightworkers have transformed mankind down the ages and gaining an acceleration of their power more so now in the Golden Age. Their combined service has been to lead humanity to the Age of Light where they can connect to their light, love and inner truth and discover for themselves the freedom enjoy in the Oneness of Life.
WESAK is an ancient living festival celebrated and enacted during the full moon of Taurus. It is said during the full moon Lord Buddha pours out his blessing of Light over the the people gathered at the ceremony in a valley in the Himalayas, from there it flows out to all peoples in the world. During the Wesak Festival the Buddha the head of Shamballa transmits the force of Will and the magnetic power of Love Wisdom.
The Christ the head of the Hierarchy becomes the receiving agent of this potent energy and the groups of Masters who work with the human and sub-human kingdoms become the directing agents for the seven fold expression of this force. So around the Wesak Festival expansions of consciousness are made possible that are not possible at other times. Those of goodwill are stimulated spiritually to take initiation in order to move deeply and consciously into the mysteries of the Kingdom of God.
So what is our part in this ancient humanitarian service of Buddha and the Christ?
During this festival we may honour the Buddha, as well as ourselves as dedicated transmitters of the energy that is contacted at the full moon of Taurus. We are holding a space for the inflow and distribution of energies through “safeguarding”. The day of the full moon is known as the day of “Safeguarding”. During this time we offer ourselves as receivers and custodians of as much spiritual force we can hold. We simply hold ourselves in the light, without expectation of how the event will unfold and maintain inner peace. Our thoughts will focus on the need of all life and the necessity of providing a group channel for this potent force to flow through and be stepped down for all of life at the guidance of the Hierarchy and great Beings of light that oversee the evolution of our planet.
