"At Wesak the Buddha communicates via Christ and Hierarchy with Humanity."
- The Reappearance of the Christ, 96 Alice A. Bailey"The Wesak Ceremony is held by Hierarchy for 4 objectives:
- to substantiate the existence of the Christ
- to demonstrate solidarity of east and west
- to form a meeting place for the faithful
- to demonstrate the nature of the Christ's work as head of Hierarchy".
- The Reappearance of the Christ, 45, Alice A. Bailey"If [the New Group of World Servers] can aspire, pray, meditate and serve, focussing in unison with all other servers at the time of the May full moon, the salvaging of humanity can go forward with much greater speed than heretofore, and the results will be appreciably apparent."
- Esoteric Psychology II, 700, Alice A. Bailey
According to Alice Bailey there are three major spiritual festivals which form the high point in the annual cycle. These are the:
1.Festival of Easter (at the Aries full moon),
2.The Festival of Wesak (at the Taurus full moon),
3.The Festival of Goodwill (at the Gemini full moon)
The second of the three major spiritual planetary festivals, The Wesak Festival, is celebrated in the eastern hemisphere at the Taurus full moon. This is the festival of The Buddha, divine intermediary between the highest spiritual center, Shamballa, and the Spiritual Hierarchy.
The Buddha is the expression of the Wisdom of God, the embodiment of light and the indicator of divine purpose.
The Forces of Enlightenment are active during this festival. These forces emanate from the Heart of God, and transmit the second principle of Divinity, Love-Wisdom, leading to Divine Understanding and strengthening those who serve humanity. The qualities of The Buddha and The Christ eminent are the two outstanding expressions of this principle.
Significance of Wesak
(From the Books by Alice A. Bailey)
Together, the three full moon festivals of Aries, Taurus andGemini form a united spiritual approach by humanity to divinity.
The Wesak Festival has been traditionally associated in eastern civilization with the Buddha, divine intermediary between the highest spirtual center on the planet, Shamballa, and the Hierarchy. The Buddha is the expression of the Wisdom of God, the embodiment of Light and the indicator of divinepurpose, cooperating at this festival with his brother the Christ, who represents the Hierarchy. The Buddha embodies the Principle of Light, and because of this illumination humanity was able to recognize the Christ, embodiment of the still greater Principle of Love.
Each year at the time of Wesak, two great streams of energy ~ one focussed through the Buddha and the other through the Christ ~ are fused and blended, and it is the task of world servers to precipitate this combined energy into the waiting world.
The Wesak Festival is indeed a great spiritual event, with a powerful effect upon humanity. Groups of aspirants can at this time become channels for the higher energies released through the medium of the two focal points ~ the Buddha, who represents the overlighting essence of subjective realities, and the Christ, representative of aspiring humanity.
This is symbolized in religious rituals where the priest acts as the focal point; here, however, the priesthood in this great ceremony of contact is not a separate entity. All can be priests, the single qualification being the capacity to align oneself and be en rapport with the Soul, and thus be able to cooperate with other souls.
Wesak is a time of unusual inflow of life and of spiritual stimulation, serving to vitalize the aspiration of all humanity. At the time of the festival, through the united effort of the Christ and the Buddha working in closest cooperation, there is opened a channel of communication between humanity and deity through which an approach can be made to Those Who guide our planet, so that aspirants and disciples are able to contact energies not otherwise easily available.
The greater the number of people who meditate at this time, the stronger the magnetic field of the group heart and its invocative, indrawing power. It's up to each of us to attune with ever greater clarity to the note being sounded ~ to quiet the mind and transmute individual desires that only cause confusion and chaos, into desire for the greatest good of all.

From Alice A. Bailey Books:
"The Buddha, the Christ, and Shamballa are linked to Humanity at Wesak."
- The Externalisation of the Hierarchy, 162 - 163"The Buddha brings spiritual entities from beyond our planet into contact with earth Humanity at Wesak."
- Esoteric Psychology II, 685"Hierarchy aims at four goals each Wesak:
- stimulation of the spirit of love, community, and good will on Earth
- telepathic fusion of all persons of good will
- invocation of certain great and high Beings
- linkage of Hierarchy, NGWS, and Humanity, which alignment can set up conditions for great spiritual improvements on Earth."
- Esoteric Psychology II, 688 - 691
