Our Wesak offering on behalf of the whole.

Northern Lapwing, Lapwing Vanellus cristatus Bird Print by HC Richter

On weekend I was on my way to a study group, where me and my many colleagues study herbal medicine, in a group of 14 students and a teacher.
It was held in Kälviä, in Ostro-Bothnia Finland, it is a 256 kilometres drive (159 miles) from my home, in to the direction of north.

I had a good drive, and saw cranes, and many Northern Lapwings on the way, and noticed spring is on an earlier stage in north, roughly two weeks late according to local fisherman.

I arrived in Kälviä, in friday, 16:58 of local time, which is UTC +2. Wesak was at 20:34 local time. Since we had our own program and timetable, I did not want to rush, like Debra advised. The Intention was to honor the tradition of sacred ceremony.

Wesak Offering – Verdigris River, Coffeyville, Kansas, May 5, 2023

May5

Greetings Beloved Kin,

I chose a place along the Verdigris River in the country north of Coffeyville, KS for my Wasek Offering. (We call it ver dee gree in Kansas.) The pull-off was a big mud hole after the rains yesterday. The climb down was muddy and steep, reminding me of the embankment and my fall on my last visit to the woods. The offering of roses, daisies, and fresh berries was placed halfway down in a spillway for the “living bodies of water” in Mother Nature.

The Wesak Celebration, the Full Flower Moon and Lunar Eclipse, May 5, 2023

May5

LIONSROAR.COM – Celebrating WESAK/VESAK, or “Buddha Day”

Vesak, also known as “Buddha Day” falls on May 5 this year. It marks the birth, enlightenment, and death of the historical Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, born 2,600 years ago. These three significant events in the Buddha’s life are all said to have happened on the same day many years apart.

Vesak is observed on different days year-to-year, as celebrations are planned for the first full moon of May, the month of Vesakha in Hindu and Buddhist calendars. Buddhists in China, however, follow the Chinese lunar calendar to plan their Vesak celebrations, and observe the holiday on the eighth day of the fourth month of the lunar year. If it’s a leap year, the day often falls in June.

In each place where Vesak is celebrated, devotees typically assemble in their local temples for a ceremonial hoisting of the Buddhist flag and a singing of hymns praising the three jewels. Offerings of flowers, candles, and burning incense are made. From there, the method of celebration varies from place to place. Paper lanterns are lit and released into water and sky in South Korea and Indonesia, while extravagant light displays illustrate the Buddha’s life in Sri Lanka.

HOLY OBSERVANCE: CELEBRATION & INITIATION OF THE MAYAN PRIEST

Greetings Beloved Kin,

8 Deer/MANIK

Peak Tone 8 begins the Transformation phase of the 13-day trecena. Number 8 is a symbol of life and abundance to infinity. The Mayan word for Number 8, WAXAJQIB, is defined as “pure Spirit.” Tone 8 holds the Intention of Justice in Harmony and Equity with the whole. The 8th hour of Light is the Zenith Hour, beyond the Center of Human’s creation on the 7th Day of the 7 days and 6 nights (13 days).

8 Deer/MANIK is exalted in the Light of Divine Justice, the balance of Zero. The Celebration of the Mayan priest honors the one who carries on in the darkness and the Light. The Deer is a symbol of standing in the Truth of Integrity. To stand in Right Relationship with the whole, we have to admit that we are no better and no worse. We earn the Crown for carrying on. The priest carries on to Know the Truth of Salvation and the Righteousness of a Divine Intention to be the Hand Below that serves the Hand Above.

James 1:12 NIV
12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

The glyph illustrates the Hand, another name for MANIK, grasping a thread of Ether that completes a circuit of Divine Power where our hearts are welded to the One Above. The circle on the Hand represents the Vigilant Eye of the Deer. The Deer is a symbol of stability with a leg to stand in each of the 4 directions. Vigilance is the only way for our own Faith to stand through every experience of Life and know Beauty that lies in the Balance of Zero.
