| Birth of Prince Siddhartha | |
A long time ago in India, there lived a king named Suddhodana and a queen named Maha Maya. They were both decent and caring people. One full moon night, the Queen dreamt of four devas. They carried her to a lake, to rest on a soft bed. A white elephant carrying a lotus flower went round her three times and vanished into her. Wise men described that the Queen was going to give birth to a prince. |
