Birth of the Buddha
When the child's birth was imminent, according to custom, Queen Maha Maya prepared to return to her parents' home. Passing the magnificent Lumbini Grove, with its majestic trees and scented flowers, the Queen decided to stroll through the shady walks and rest awhile. When she reached a giant sal tree, she was suddenly in labor. Her attendants hung a curtain about her and retired. As the Queen stood and held a branch, the Future Buddha was born. I have come to realize that photos can have a very powerful impact on people and can be used to make the world a better place. This photo is posted on the group site: www.flickr.com/groups/50_million_missing/ It is the most powerful use of photos I have seen on Flickr.
