I have no affiliation to any form of religion
but felt to share what is happening all over the world at this time for peace.

Today, May 27, 2010,
is what is called a Wesak Full Moon or Saga Dawa in the Tibetan Buddhist calendar.
The word is also Singhalese (Sri Lanka)
and the festival celebrates the birth, enlightenment, and passing of the Buddha.
No matter what anyone believes, please simply free your mind and ‘feel’ from the heart
what is being shared without intellectualizing it.

The festival is so sacred to Buddhists that all violence is prohibited as is the eating of meat.
Slaughter houses are closed and animals are released and freed of the fear of dying prematurely.
In some countries, prisoners are released and all torture is strictly forbidden, as it should be for all time.
People make offerings of flowers, incense, and candles to remind them of impermanence
and they are urged to live in harmony with one another as impermanence
is a theme on the Path of Wisdom.
Truth is eternal
so, even people who are not Buddhists
may feel the power of this full moon energy,
since there are immense celebrations from the Himalayas to South Asia,
and to the far East and all points in between.
At least some parts of the world will be exceptionally peaceful and may it continue on and spread.

Wesak is about man’s union with nature and with the stars.
A celebration of the divinity (or whatever name you wish to call it) behind all manifestation:
the infinite that lives in all.
Man acknowledging and honouring all participants in the cycle of life.
Removing Fear, freeing your mind and know thyself. Love is all.

In honour of Guatama Buddha, for centuries in Tibet, Nepal, India and South Asia,
it has been a time for meditation with a focus on healing and enlightenment for all beings.
Generosity and kindness are practiced in service of all living things.
So it should be always like this in our living universe, in my view.
We are swimming in an ocean of energy and the power of that can be used
to co-create calm, peace and harmony. Use it with wisdom and wisely. May it be so.

In Malaysia it is good karma to release caged animals. A good metaphor.
Opening the caged and limited view of ourselves,
and letting that deep connection with the infinite free to manifest in us,
is one of the best conscious actions we can perform always and during this period.
Stepping out of a cage implies remembering how to be free.

We are engaged in a shamanic dance of death and rebirth
creating a transformational portal for the healing of outdated beliefs and behaviors
that no longer serve our evolution.
Miraculous changes can happen easily within this energy.
A complete reconfiguration is possible.
Life as we know it could change radically in an instant.

“When you can see the truth ‘within’ you can see the truth in everything”
Open up and step out of the cage into freedom. It is quite humbling and you have the key.
