Magha Puja 2008 :: Dhammakaya Foundation & Wat Phra Dhammakaya : World Peace through Inner Peace using Meditation Practice  

 

Magha Puja 2008

Candle Festival Magha Puja 21st February, 2008

To walk thy life with only candle is quite risky in this planet Earth. The crack of dawn may not promise the best day. For Earth is owned by the spell of samsara, the invisible frame of illusion, passion and desire.

Let's lit thy candle and walk with us to perform the flow of living light. Thou will be one amid thousands that play multi shadows of light glittering all around. It's the flow of spiritual light in this spiritual world named Earth. It's the stream of peaceful light flows with hope to heap the world up to the arms of enlightenment. 21 February 2008, in the time of full moon night, is the time to celebrate the supreme wisdom of The Prince of Supreme Truth, Lord Buddha by peaceful light from inside out.

Light symbolizes the mind of peace existing inside. Light symbolizes the mind of wisdom burning out dustiness along the journey of life. Light symbolizes the brightness of mind cleansed through meditation. Light from the well-lit candle is telling how bright and clean of the inside of the hands that hold. Let's join the stream of candle light and flow along the glow of peace and wisdom.

World peace is in your hand.

By clockwise walk, the stream of light will perform the flow of wisdom circle around the Dhammakaya Ceitya with stands to symbolize The Triple Gems and The Supreme Truth. The clockwise walk or circular walk with right side toward the Cetiya is the way to pay utmost respect and also the promise to create peace thoroughly from one to another to form the invisible net of peace to protect the world.

Come and feel the delicate and fascinating moment while walking a simple step or standing peacefully amid hundreds of thousands of living golden shadows glittering all around. Come and be one beautiful petal of peace among hundreds of thousands, all are performing the enormous living lotus throne that is the seat of true peace possibly existed on this planet Earth. Come and be a drop of water in the tide of wisdom determinedly flows to the ocean of true freedom and real happiness in the warm embrace of Absolute Truth. Let's come and join the celebration. May the crack of next dawn promise the best day… and every next day.
