Masonic & Occult Symbols Illustrate

This festival is referred to as “the supreme moment of the year.” Tom Carney says that Wesak “is a wonderful time to talk about the rising sun, for that is what the Festival is all about. It is about the eye being single and the whole body being full of light. It is about the impact of will upon the dedicated server, a single eye, a single will.”

A symbol representing the “Three Linked Meditation Festivals of Spring” (one of which is the Festival of Wesak) appears below.

It was at this festival in honor of Buddha, where Stewart commented: “In preparing for my remarks today, I took the trouble to locate all of our Alice Bailey books and to look them over, especially the one entitled The Externalisation of the Hierarchy. What I discovered was a number of areas of COMMON GROUND with the work of the Unity-and-Diversity World Council. I’d like to mention a few of those areas now. “I discovered that Synthesis is a very important term in the Alice Bailey teachings....In these teachings, the Buddha represents light, the Buddha being ‘the illumined one.’...The central goal of these teachings is to help give birth to a new world religion. All of these dimensions resonate with our work.
