by this new Pain of the story of the birth of Siddhartha Gautama-- the supreme Buddha. because the Vagina of a Woman is considered dirty, Birth Blood the dirtiest of all, and Birth the most Painful experience of a person's Life, the details of Buddha Gotama's Birth is very important in Buddhism.
his Mother, Maya, dreamt of a White Elephant with 6 tusks entering Her side on the Night that Gotama was Conceived. as per Tradition, Maya traveled to Her Home country to give Birth, but did not make it in time, even though Gotama was within Her Womb for 10 months.
when the Time for Her baby's Birth came, Maya was cradled by the Trees and, as She stood, the future Buddha came from out Her side and was Born. he walked from out of Her and proclaimed who he Would Become.
Maya died seven days later.
perhaps this Pain means that a Baby, and a Great one at that, will come from out my side. a part of me Hopes to be dispelled from this Life as well, and be Reborn, as Maya, in Tusita Heaven.
