"A quietness settles upon the earth. In spite of all the lush growth and activity of the newborn life, there is felt a deep underlying peace which we associate with the Divine-Mother aspect of God, who gives form to all beauty. In the inner ethers - “meeting place between heaven and earth” - a ceremony takes place through which the compassionate Lord Buddha blesses the whole earth. It is a time of utter stillness and surrender, and of the oneness of all life. It is a time of preparation of the mind and heart for the great spiritual outpouring, the Christ festival."

"The Lord Buddha brought to humanity the message of peace and brotherhood, of stillness. He taught his disciples how to meditate and become conscious of the enfolding power of God; he taught them how to live wisely in brotherhood and to understand the sufferings of those on earth. He gave them compassion. We suggest that the teaching of the Lord Buddha, when rightly understood, was chiefly concerned with the preparation of the soul."
