MEDITATION FOR WESAK

1. Enter into Quietness with a few deep breaths. Align the physical body, emotional body, and mental body with the soul.

2. Visualize the giving of the gift from the center where the Will of God is known by the Buddha to the Christ. Use the visualization that follows to participate in the beauty and wonder of the Wesak ceremony.

3. Receptive Meditation. Quietly await impressions and significances of the Wesak "Communion of Water."

4. Say aloud: "At the center of all Love I stand:
From that center, I the soul will outward move;
From that center, I the one who serves will work.
May the love of the divine Self be shed abroad
In my heart, through my group, and throughout the world."

5. Visualization: Imagine the valley (described above in the Himalayan mountains, the big flat rock, the quiet group, swaying to the chanting, radiance beaming through the valley. Visualize the vast intelligence, wisdom, and joy, blending these two streams of energy,

Imagine hearing the chants and seeing the rhythmic group movements in geometrical patterns. The Buddha slowly descends from a speck in the sky to the valley. Then silence--light patterns radiating out from the Buddha, and from the Christ. The atmosphere becomes electric as the Buddha gives His blessing for all humanity.

Sip from a cup of the water charged with dancing atoms bringing new patterns of light within and around you, colors shifting, fluid, beautiful fountains of light.

Visualize a hologram of the world soul, the one human soul. Focusing deeply within, open to the flame within your heart that is ignited by this powerful spiritual energy.

Open to the blessing of the Buddha, receive the blessing, and send it out to humanity. Pause for several minutes to sense your part in the Plan for World Peace and good will.

5. Close silently, holding the gift of the Buddha within the love of your heart, to be poured forth upon humanity over the next two days, and at the Festival of Humanity, a month away.

6. Bless the world as you sound aloud these two world prayers:
Love to all Beings
North - South - East - West - Above - Below
Love to all Beings.

The Great Invocation

From the point of Light within the mind of God
Let Light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on earth.

From the point of Love within the heart of God
Let Love stream forth into the human hearts.
May Christ return to (reappear) on earth.

From the center where the Will of God is known
Let Purpose guide the little human wills,
The Purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the center which we call the human race
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let light and love and power restore the Plan on earth.
