Also, if you are interested in doing a WESAK FESTIVAL Meditation, here is one you can do from the website:
http://souledout.org/wesak/wesaklegends.html
The
Wesak LegendImagine
yourself in the Wesak Valley. Spiritually align your energies to the
group soul. As you begin to meditate, breathe deeply and imagine your
connection to the guiding light of the Spiritual Hierarchy. Know that
you are joining with many others worldwide who are simultaneously creating
and experiencing connection to the Enlightened Ones. Feel Their loving
support for you and all of humanity.
Begin to
feel the potent vibration that has the effect of awakening the souls,
fusing and blending the group into one united whole, and lifting all
into a great act of spiritual demand, readiness, and expectancy. See
now a great light penetrating the Valley, so all that remains is the
quality of Essential Divinity ... the consciousness that All is One
and Divine.
Near the
northern end of the Wesak Valley, there is a huge flat rock upon which
rests a great crystal bowl full of water. The Three great lords face
the rock; the Christ, standing at the center; the Lord of Living Forms
to His right, and the Lord of Civilization, standing to His left.
Just a
few minutes before the exact time of the full moon, envision in the
far distance a tiny speck in the sky. It comes nearer and nearer, and
grows in clarity and definiteness of outline, until the form of The
Buddha can be seen. Seated in the cross-legged position, clad in his
saffron-colored robe, the Buddha is bathed in light and color, with
his hand extended in blessing.
When The
Buddha arrives at a point exactly over the great rock, hovering in
the air above the heads of The Three Great Lords, a great mantram,
used only once a year at this Festival, is intoned by The Christ. This
Invocation marks the supreme moment of intensive spiritual effort throughout
the entire year, and the spiritual effects are to last throughout the
succeeding months. Buddha's blessing is poured forth, and The Christ,
as representative of humanity, receives it in trust for distribution.
The Buddha
slowly recedes into the distance, until again only a faint speck can
be seen in the sky, that eventually disappears.

Open now
in your meditation to the quality of synthesis and the Light of Taurus
as you maintain a receptive attitude to any thought or impulse from
a higher or subtler realm.
As you
return from this silence, join in the Wesak water ceremony of communion.
The water, which has been imbued by the Taurus full moon energies and
the Buddha's Blessing, is for all. See within the water the Penetrating
Light of the Path, sparkling, shining, and alive. In time it will become
a beam of light and will reveal our next step on the Lighted Way. As
you drink, the Light comes alive within you. As you participate in
this communion, dedicate your service in the world.

May all sentient beings know peace!
