Legend of Wesak

During the Wesak festival, people of goodwill gather in a special geometrical pattern to participate in a great act of service to mankind. Three world teachers stand in front of the altar rock, facing a crystal bowl full of water. Lord Maitreya, the Christ, stands in the center, with the Manu on his right and the Mahachohan on his left. Arhats, initiates, adepts, senior workers, spiritual disciples and aspirants stand behind them, either with or without their physical bodies. At the peak of the ceremony, Lord Maitreya takes the Rod of Power and raises it above his head, uttering “All is ready; Master, come!” At the exact moment of the full moon, the Lord Buddha appears with a brilliant aura, emanating various colours. The members of the Brotherhood bow and chant an invocation, linking humanity with cosmic consciousness. Lord Maitreya blesses the water in the crystal bowl and participants come forward to sip the water. The blessings poured by the Buddha last for only eight minutes, while the whole ceremony takes about 30 minutes.

Benefits of Wesak Meditation

Meditation activates the Crown chakra and brings down divine energy into our system, which is much stronger during Wesak. This energy has consciousness and can eliminate negative thoughts and emotions from our aura and chakras, leading to improved physical and emotional health, clarity of mind, better self-esteem, and greater peace and happiness.

To have spiritual experiences, it is important to prepare the body and mind before meditation. During the Wesak celebration, the presence of a larger group during meditation allows for greater amounts of divine energy to flow to individuals, leading to experiences that may be difficult to attain alone. With the development of the Crown chakra, intuition may also improve, allowing for greater understanding of inner guidance or direct knowing.

Collective blessing of our wishes and plans after the Wesak meditation makes them a powerful thought with the ability to greatly influence the physical world, resulting in faster manifestation of our desires.

Wesak is an opportunity for world service as people with good intentions come together to meditate and act as channels for receiving and transmitting divine energies of light, love, and power to every person and being on Earth.

During the Wesak festival, divine energy enters our body through the spiritual cord, which acts as a communication channel between the divine and us. This increases the size of our spiritual cord and meridians, allowing more energy to circulate through our system at a faster rate. The divine energy also cleanses and activates our chakras, resulting in spiritual empowerment.

Each year, the Buddha makes a sacrifice by descending to Earth and imparting spiritual and wisdom energies to humanity, while the Christ works closely with him to share God’s love. Therefore, every year, humanity receives blessings of divine love, light, and wisdom to continue fulfilling its mission and manifesting the Divine Plan on Earth.
