Happy Wesak to one and all....

The spiritual year has reached its highpoint, with Wesak Festival tonight. Wesak is when Buddha materializes for several minutes in a remote Himalayan valley, at great personal cost. The Christ joins him as they bless local pilgrims and meditators from around the world.

If you've never meditated before, take advantage of the powerful Buddha and Christ energy that is available to you now. Sit for several minutes, picture Buddha and Christ, and welcome them into your heart. I experience wonderful light during these occasions.

Ideas for enhancing meditations

I meditate most mornings for 15 minutes. I have no particular belief system but draw inspiration from Buddha and the Christ (not Jesus). I focus on images of those two great teachers - it helps lift my attention to soul level.

I read spiritual readings and prayers to set the meditation stage. These rituals remind me that I am soul, and my real home is a place of divine love. I never want to forget that!
