Buddha Birth Story
The birth of the prophet Buddha was kind of a weird birth, in some ways to us westerners/Americans. Buddha was said to have been born to queen Mahamaya who was traveling to her father's kingdom for the birth of her first child. During her long journey her birth pains began early and her handmaidens assisted her to a grove of trees for privacy. Before the birth one tree lowered a branch to serve as a support for her delivery. The birth of Buddha was said to be nearly painless after, which, a gentle rain fell to cleanse the mother and child. Buddha was born out of the side of queen Mahamaya with an array of light, born fully awake, with the ability to walk and talk. Not much is known about the historical childhood of the Buddhist prophet, but information on his childhood and birth can be gathered from the religious facts and beliefs of the Buddhist culture.
