On May 14th, the moon is full in the sign of
Scorpio and it’s known as the “flower moon”
or the “planting moon”. This is a special full
moon as it’s Buddha’s birthday and will be
celebrated by millions of people all over Asia.
This is the celebration of Buddha’s enlightenment
under the Bodhi tree.
Traditionally, homes are cleaned and decorated
with bright colors. This is the time of the year
that I will hand new prayer flags over my gates
to blow blessings into my home and garden.
In many countries, during the festival, Buddhists
will visit their local temples for services and teaching,
and will give offerings to the monks of food,
candles and flowers. Chanting and praying are
important parts of the Wesak Festival.
Customarily, water is poured over the shoulders
of the Buddha as a reminder to purify your minds
from the three poisons — greed, hatred and
ignorance. Gifts are taken to an altar to be
offered to the Buddha statues. This shows
respect and gratitude to the Buddha for his life
and teachings.
Here’s what I will be doing on this coming full moon.
I will devote the day to meditation in early in the
morning before the sun comes up. I will be putting
up the prayer flags and chanting the sacred Mantra
that eliminates the three poisons. You may know
them as worry, struggle and blame. As I do this,
I also place my attention on the healing energy of
Quan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion. If you aren’t
familiar with this mantra and how you can gain
personal power and enlightenment, click on the link.
