The Festival of Wesak – A Special Divine Service

Please join us in celebration and praise for this special divine service. We will be cooperating with the important Buddhist celebration, known as the Festival of Wesak. This commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and ascension of the cosmic avatar, the Lord Buddha.

The Lord Buddha was born a prince in a royal family and later renounced this in order to impart his great wisdom, compassion and teachings to humanity.

The festival runs for a number of days around the time of the first full moon of Taurus. In 2012 it is officially celebrated from May 4-6, with the full moon on May 6.

In this service we will offer our praise and appreciation for the Lord Buddha who brought his noble eightfold path to earth, which has brought peace and enlightenment to thousands of Buddhists and seekers of truth around the world.

In The Aetherius Society we celebrate and offer thankfulness and appreciation to all the great avatars and masters who have visited our earth. We revere the Lord Buddha as a wonderful enlightened master who was born in 560 BC at the foot of the Himalayan mountains in Nepal. The Aetherius Society is a non-denominational metaphysical organisation dedicated to the peace and enlightenment of humanity.
