THE WESAK FESTIVAL [a poem]

Wesak, The festival of the Buddha
Has for centuries been held in the Himalaya
In a remote valley of peace and tranquillity
Known only to the initiates who have the ability

At this Eastern Festival on the full moon of May
The Buddha is the spiritual intermediary to relay
Forces from Shamballa to the Hierarchy
And Christ, who is the head of the monarchy

Buddha is the expression of God’s wisdom
And the light of his kingdom
He is the indicator of the divine plan
That is to be expressed by man   

Emanating from the heart of God
Are forces of enlightenment to be sought
By initiates and disciples who can then
In love and understanding, serve all men

By meeting in groups, large and small
By fusing the divine Will, with the will of all
By meditation and concentration on their goal
To serve the greater good of the whole

Buddha and Christ express love-wisdom
The second principle of divinity, in tandem
They channel the new ideas of the moment
Into the great educational movement

As well as the mass communications media and net
Formed by the press, radio, television and the internet
These recipients of the forces of enlightenment
Must use it for humanity’s advancement

Good effects are not yet perceptive
But their channelling is effective
Thus all people are affected by this force
That keeps humanity, on course

Wesak marks the high point of the year
When the “Touch Of Shamballa” is here
The Buddha’s annual blessing to humanity
That restores light, love and sanity
