The beginning
of The Life of Buddha has been quite interesting. His mother, Maya is the Queen
to Suddhodana. She gives up her “worldly” evil desires for a life of good, virtue
and abstinence. She heads to an apartment to act out her creed.
While she is
away she has a dream that she becomes pregnant with a white elephant with many
tusks and the Gods praise her and her good deed. When she woke up, she was
overjoyed and wanted to speak to the King, her husband.
He agrees to
meet her and as he is approaching her, he feels a sense of weakness and
uneasiness. Shortly, a voice from above tells him that his wife, Queen Maya, is
going to carry this wonderful son of the Gods, Buddha. He is overjoyed by the
knowledge of having this son.
Months
passed and the time came for Maya to give birth to Buddha. She goes to give birth in the garden to allow
Buddha to begin his life surrounded by the innocent purity of the flowers. When
she entered the forest, she saw a beautiful tree full of flowers and suddenly
and easily, she gave birth to Buddha. The Earth was full of joy. Every creature
rejoiced as this wonderful child came to be born on earth.
