Wesak, Festival of Light Worldwide Meditation 2010

Wesak Festival of Light Worldwide Meditation: is an annual holiday observed traditionally by practicing Buddhists in South Asianand South East Asian countries like Nepal, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Indonesia and India. Sometimes informally called “Buddha’s Birthday,“ it actually encompasses the birth, enlightenment (Nirvana), and passing away (Parinirvana) of Gautama Buddha. The exact date of Wesak varies according to the various lunar calendars used in different traditions. In Theravada countries following the Buddhist calendar, it falls on the full moon Uposatha day (typically the 5th or 6th lunar month). Wesak Day in China is on the eighth of the fourth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. The date varies from year to year in the Western Gregorian calendar but falls in April or May. In 2010 the first full moon day in May is the twenty-seventh. The decision to agree to celebrate Wesak as the Buddhas birthday was formalized at the first Conference of the World Fellowship of Buddhists held in Sri Lanka in 1950, although festivals at this time in the Buddhist world are a centuries-old tradition. The Resolution that was adopted at the World Conference reads as follows: "That this Conference of the World Fellowship of Buddhists, while recording its appreciation of the gracious act of His Majesty, the Maharaja of Nepal in making the full-moon day of Vesak a Public Holiday in Nepal, earnestly requests the Heads of Governments of all countries in which large or small number of Buddhists are to be found, to take steps to make the full-moon day in the month of May a Public Holiday in honour of the Buddha, who is universally acclaimed as one of the greatest benefactors of Humanity.” On Wesak Day, Buddhists all over the world commemorate events of significance to Buddhists of all traditions: The birth, enlightenment and the passing away ofGautama Buddha. As Buddhism spread from India it was assimilated into many foreign cultures, and consequently Wesak is celebrated in many different ways all over the world.

Let yourself grow more and more peaceful, more present in this moment. We have a process you can use to contact your Divine Self. 3. Let go of your thoughts, and open to the Divine within you in a moment of silence. Ask the Divine Self to reveal Itself to you. Allow more of the consciousness of your soul and Divine Self to become your consciousness. 4. Sense your inner light becoming brighter and more visible with this contact. The light of the Divine Self is shining outward through you, like the light coming from a lighthouse. 5. As the Divine Self within you reveals Itself, notice how brightly your inner light shines forth. In this light you can sense thousands of souls all around you on the inner planes.

You are immediately lifting everyone who is connected to or in resonance with you as you do this. 8. Feel the peace and reassurance that is here in this space. You have lifted above mass consciousness and are able to experience a world of peace and harmony. Let your fears, concerns, and worries fall away.

As you maintain and sustain your inner light and support and encourage others, you not only strengthen those around you, but this will come back to you as greater strength and stability for yourself. 11.
