Shasta Wesak Celebration
Five Days of Divine Expression and Inspiration
Invitation to Participate in the Wesak Festival
We warmly invite you to join us in a group meditation for the Wesak Festival, a sacred time of spiritual renewal and world service. As the full moon rises over the sign of Taurus, aspirants and servers everywhere align their hearts and minds with the great gathering in the Himalayas to receive and distribute the blessing of the Buddha and the Christ. By participating together, we strengthen our connection to this living stream of wisdom, compassion, and goodwill, and help anchor it more fully in human consciousness. Whether you are new to the Festival or a long-time participant, your presence and intention add to the potency of this global act of service.
Each of the scheduled activities will consist of approximately an hour and half period of intense transceiver meditation followed by a 24-hour period of meditative reflection. This provides participants an opportunity to integrate the Force which will pass through the group, utilizing it to enhance their ability to be actively engaged in its distribution.
The 29th of April will be an opportunity for the participants to experience the transmitted Force that will overshadow the group during the five days.

An Esoteric Overview
1. Sacred Commemoration of the Buddha
Traditionally, the Wesak Festival is observed each year at the time of the full moon of Taurus (usually in May) to commemorate the birth, enlightenment, and passing (parinirvana) of the Buddha. It is regarded as the most significant spiritual festival of the year in both Buddhist and esoteric circles. In the esoteric tradition, Wesak represents a moment of profound contact between the spiritual hierarchy and humanity, when the Buddha, embodying the wisdom of God, blesses the world. Devotees and aspirants prepare themselves inwardly for weeks beforehand through meditation, selfless service, and purification so that their minds and hearts may become receptive to this inflow of light.
2. The Wesak Ceremony in the Valley
In the traditional depiction, a large valley in the Himalayas becomes the setting for a great spiritual gathering. Adepts, disciples, and seekers—both on the inner planes and in physical bodies—assemble in silence, forming a vast congregation of expectant servers. As the exact moment of the full moon arrives, the Buddha is said to appear in a radiant body of light over a rock altar, joined by the Christ (or World Teacher) who acts as the transmitter of the blessing. Together they release a potent spiritual energy—often described as a combination of wisdom, compassion, and will-to-good—into the waiting assembly, who then distribute it to all levels of human life.
3. Distribution of the Blessing and Global Service
After the ceremony, the participants consciously dedicate themselves to carrying this blessing outward in thought, word, and deed. In the traditional approach, this distribution of the Wesak energy is not just symbolic but a real act of service, intended to stimulate goodwill, higher values, and enlightened leadership throughout the world. Individuals observing the festival at home align their meditation or group work with the precise full-moon time, visualizing themselves part of the gathering in the valley and acting as channels for the blessing. Thus, the traditional Wesak Festival becomes both a sacred ritual and a living link between humanity and the higher spiritual centers of the planet.
