Full Moon / Wesak

I am so happy that my friend Janelle, a Caretaker at the Order of the Peace Dove sent this excerpt to me via email...Happy Wesak to the world.


May 8, 2009 Wesak Full Moon
On the Scorpio Full Moon of Taurus, is the Festival of the Buddha, known as Wesak, celebrating an alignment of spiritual energies, that the Buddha calls forth, and invokes one’s highest spiritual aspirations - the response of one’s innermost being, the soul. The Buddha vowed to return at this time of his enlightenment to assist humans to prepare a channel of consciousness for the inflow of powerful spiritual energies. Always, he emphasized the value of the spiritual community as a source of strength in following the spiritual path. At this time we pray to act as a medium of transmission, as a bridge to the network of light linking human minds.

It is said, “Remember at Wesak, no matter who we are or where we may be placed or what is the nature of our environment, no matter how isolated we may feel or apart from those who may share our spiritual vision, each of us can that day and for the period immediately following and preceding it, work and think and act in group formation, and function as a silent distributor of force.”
