In Full moon May, which will take place on 12, is celebrated, in the Buddhist tradition, in the birth, the lighting and death of Siddharta Gautama, the Buddha. Known as Wesak Moon full OR VESAK, Buddha day, Buddha purna OR Buddha JayantiTime is propitious, of charity and reflection.
But before talking more, I wanted to progress a curiosity. For more than two decades, this date is not only special for Buddhists or spiritualists, as it is important today, both in the geopolitical and energetic context. In the article, I will explain why.
Buddha’s life on earth
The birth of the Buddha was a moment, probably when the Earth He received a lot of light. Frequencies irradiated by this spirit that has brought, on his journey of evolution, many blessings and teachings related to the personal development of each.
His passage through this plan lasted 80 years and occurred over two thousand and five hundred years ago, more precisely, in the year 683 BC VaisakhaWe celebrate your birth.
Importance
In it, in general, practices such as meditation, mantra corner, offers, donations, charity practice, reading the text and reflection on the teachings of the important figure. Millions of Buddhists all over the world celebrate and honor the presence, the teachings and their service to humanity. Buddha in his immense benevolence and love, has taught us and still teaches us the virtues of compassion, tolerance and inner peace. Is it not what we collectively seek as human beings?
When does it happen?
Although there are several Hindu, Lunar, Solar and Lunissolar calendars, when India has obtained independence, one of the objectives was combined with all the traditions present in a single calendar. Therefore, following the Hindu lunar calendar, the Gregorian month of April or May marks the very important moment. Already the birth period of Buddha (Vaisakha) takes place in the lunar month. Vesak, in turn, derives from the word Pali (classic indo-acry language, sacred in Buddhism Theravada) Vestākha, or from Sanskrit Vaiśākha, which is the second month of the calendar.
Purnitis – As we have already talked about an article on Maha Shivaratri – It is the Sanskrit word for the full moon. Finally, Jayanti It means, in Sanskrit, victory or triumph, but in other cases it indicates the birth of a divinity or an important figure for tradition. Example of this is the Durga Jayantithe birth and demonstration of Durg (goddess Hindu), which is the Durga Puja, The festival better known as Navaratri. OR Shiv JayantiHoliday that celebrates the anniversary of the birth of King Shivaji Maharaj in the Indian state of Maharashtra.
Importance
Vigorously, this day is propitious, the moon is closer to the earth, we can naturally receive more intuitions In full moons, but this, in particular, transports the whole collective aegenera of thoughts to Buddha. Therefore, it is excellent for accessing a more virtuous knowledge, having a spiritual focus and traveling the path of truth. We can feel more inspired by doing good in some way or being caused. As a test of patience or faith.
What can do in this full moon day?
If I were in you, who is not Buddhist, but has experienced meditation, yoga and this research for its purpose, sits for a few minutes to observe what you feel. If you are still very agitated, you can experience active meditation. For example, with an empty sheet, do drawings. I like to suggest mandalas – from the vast study that Jung He revealed to us about the mandala and the unconscious – or even to paint in one of those coloring notebooks.
Geopolitical importance
We finally move on to the geopolitics of that day. TO United NationsIn 1999, in resolution 54/115 of the General AssemblyThe day of Wesak internationally recognized. This was a political message of how A It is structured, in values and social image. This milestone was a construction of years of the former Secretary General, Javier Perez de Cuellar. In 1986, Wesak’s day underlined its importance and reflected on how Buddhist philosophy shares the values with the same letter as the United Nations: “This philosophy is at the center of the United Nations Charter and must be important in all our thoughts, especially during this International year of peace. It is a recognition of Buddhism as tradition and appreciate it for human spirituality, the promotion of peace and harmony in the world “.
He, at the same event, clarified how much the United Nations enhance the Buddhist tradition regarding peace in the world: “For Buddhists everywhere, this is, in fact, a happy opportunity celebrates the birth, lighting and death of Gautama BuddhaTo celebrate your message of compassion and devotion to the service of humanity. This is today, perhaps, more relevant than ever “.
Therefore, since 2000, throughout the United Nations headquarters he celebrated this day with messages of peace, reflections and meetings. “At this moment of conflict, Buddha’s teachings on tolerance, compassion and service to humanity are a source of comfort and strength. While we follow the way for a better future, we enjoy the spirit of VESAK”Declared the secretary general of the United Nations António Guterres.
Moment of reflection
Both from an energetic point of view, and thinking about humanity and collectively what we are building as a society, this day is important to reflect on compassion, tolerance and love for others. They are not just beautiful words, virtues impossible to reach. Think about the one who one day hurt you and see if it is possible to forgive. Otherwise, why? Thinking about the situations that did not take place in the way we plan and seek understanding, greater, seen from another perspective. Reflect on our choices and how we are guiding our life. All this and more, we can do.
I hope you like the beauty of the full moon, but you are looking for this beauty and light inside you. We can only see the light in the dark, remember it.
