Wesak Festival

On the day of the Full Moon in the month of May, Lord Gautama Buddha has each year since His Ascension, the departure from the physical plane, given His outpouring of the Buddha Life Force.  This is known as the Wesak Festival.  This was the provision made for Him to infuse His particular Blessings and Benediction upon the people of the Earth once a year.

 

This takes place in the month of May because that is the Anniversary of His Birth, His Attainment of Buddha-hood and His Ascension.  The time of the full moon was chosen because the emotional bodies of the people are at their fullest tide, and there is more opportunity to pour the Radiation from the Realms of Light.

 

Each year Lord Gautama has always made this Visitation in the lower atmosphere over the hills of India.  Thus sending forth His outpouring to the assembled White Brotherhood, to the pilgrims who were able to be there in their physical bodies and to the students who could consciously leave their bodies and attend in their Inner Bodies,  and spread the Radiation over the Earth, the people and through nature.

 

Until 1953, the Visitation was always made in His Luminous Presence.  But since then He has appeared there in His Ascended Light Body, visible to the Inner Sight.  Since becoming the Lord of the World (January 1, 1956), the full gathered momentum which He has gained and which enabled Him to fill that Position is released at the Wesak Festival through the attending pilgrims to all evolutions on Earth.  Now that the Western mind has been made aware of the Great White Brotherhood, the Retreats and many Inner Activities, students can direct their consciousness there at the time of the Wesak Festival and attend in consciousness and their Inner Bodies.
