Britain's PM is on it!! Gordon Brown's Message.
I wrote to Whitehouse.gov to ask if Obama would send a message to American Buddhists.
Click the Dream Flag for more info about it's meaning. As for Wesak, the "real" version is probably Vesak. I feel such a sense of community on Twitter where searching for Wesak turns up hundreds of messages of gratitude and respect. Wonderful!!
So, here's to the Dalai Lama on this auspicious day. Take a moment and visit His Holiness today -- after all many of us believe he IS the reincarnation of the Buddha. And, don't miss this Sunday on CNN when the Dalai Lama is featured on Zakaria's GPS program (11 MDT, 1 pm EDT) Anyway, Namaste to All! Blessings and let's be Mindful of our words, actions and thoughts (at least for 24 hours!)
PM Update: At the RigDzin Tibetan Dharma Center we chanted for the Amitabha Buddha tonight -- the Buddha of Infinite Light. Interesting since one of the only rituals I practice is Nei Kung for healing and in it we call upon Amitabha. I can't imagine how many prayers our small group sent up tonight chanting this mantra for over an hour, while spinning our prayer wheels. In less than 30 minutes the actual Wesak transformation begins. Gotta get back to spinning. More Saturday...

I have to laugh... all the Hell's Angels that were following me are long gone now with all my Wesak tweeting. Even the RV and camping places dropped off. Hehe!! OH well, they can follow Bizi_Izzi (on Twitter) She's into snarling, growling, hogs, RV's and everything rowdy.
