The main meanings of the Full Moon

In the East, this Full Moon is called Vesak festival. It commemorates the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha. The Buddha teaches: ...Give up your desire, but not before it has consumed itself

The main theme of this Full Moon is working with our desires and their identification and recognition.

Some desires are sincere as they are coming from the heart, and others are imposed and alien because they are coming from the outside.

Our task is to learn to see and distinguish our true desires, and then be able to implement them.

Original thoughts and ideas may come to mind. There may be a craving for reviewing our lives, events, and situations. Memories from the past may surface and old acquaintances may appear out of the blue .
