thats a bit unfair....you cant force people to post, especially when (in my experience) most of the candidates are forced to do the course .: a good proportion dont give a rats about the subject!

Anyway,

google brings up 275,000 hits just on "wesak" so there is heaps out there. You just have to filter through it and make it applicable!

I would suggest starting at;

http://www.souledout.org/festivals/celebrationoflight2.html

http://www.souledout.org/wesak/wesaklegend2.html

http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/buddhism/holydays/wesak.shtml (very good site)

Maybe have a stroll through the resources section as well? (You may get lucky)

as for

LOL
