The Wesak Festival, also known as the Festival of the Buddha, is a major spiritual event observed during the full moon of Taurus, generally in April or May. It is held in honor of three key events in the life of Gautama Buddha—his birth, enlightenment, and final liberation (Mahaparinirvana). However, in the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, Wesak is recognized as more than a commemoration of Buddha’s life; it is seen as a powerful yearly spiritual occurrence in which divine energies are transmitted from higher spiritual realms to humanity through the Buddha and the Christ, who act as mediators between the divine and human worlds. This sacred event is celebrated in both the East and the West, drawing together individuals, groups, and spiritual communities in a shared act of invocation and service.

According to esoteric tradition, the Wesak Festival takes place in a hidden valley in the Himalayas where a gathering of the spiritual hierarchy—including the Christ, the Buddha, Masters of Wisdom, and advanced disciples—occurs during the full moon. At the exact moment of the full moon, it is said that the Buddha appears in a flash of radiant light, hovers above the valley, and blesses the world with an outpouring of divine energy. This potent spiritual force is absorbed by the assembled Masters and transmitted through their disciples and workers throughout the world. The energies released during Wesak are those of illumination, wisdom, love, and purpose—intended to inspire humanity toward spiritual evolution, greater unity, and selfless service.

Wesak is also the second of three major spiritual festivals recognized in the Ageless Wisdom teachings: the Festival of Easter (representing resurrection and the living Christ), the Festival of Wesak (signifying enlightenment and divine blessing), and the Festival of Humanity or Goodwill (celebrating the divine potential within all people). Together, these festivals form a spiritual triangle of inflow, anchoring divine will on Earth. Wesak, in particular, serves as a powerful alignment between humanity and the divine, a time for aspirants and disciples around the globe to participate in meditation, prayer, and group work to receive and distribute the spiritual energies pouring into the world. It is considered an opportunity to reaffirm one’s dedication to the Plan of Light and Love and to serve humanity with renewed vision and strength.
