Dream about White Elephant (с)

      One day the Buddha’s mother, Queen Maya, had a peculiar dream. In the dream, she ascended to heaven and met a white elephant there, bearing a lotus flower in its trunk. The elephant came to her bed, touched her right side and vanished into her.

When the queen related the dream to her husband the next day, he went to consult the priests. He received this assurance from them: the queen had conceived a son who would grow to be a great man. He would become either a powerful ruler or an important spiritual leader.
   When the time for the birth came, the boy passed painlessly from his mother’s body at the place the elephant had touched her in the dream. Many years later, he adopted the name of Buddha and established a new religion. The priests’ words were therefore fulfilled completely.
