无忧树下诞生的佛陀
清风微拂的夜晚，一只庄严的六牙白象，出现在迦毗罗卫城摩耶夫人的梦境。白象在祥柔的毫光与天籁乐音中，从兜率天缓缓而降，进入摩耶夫人胎中；吉祥庄严的梦，正预告着三界导师的降临。
「能仁菩萨已降母胎，三界人天将有依怙！」，菩萨入胎的消息在诸天中回传开来。天人们有如干凅的土地，欣然仰望即将降临的甘露，欢腾庆跃的在空中赞吟、散花。护法四大天王，更亲派四天子们日夜守护夫人，令母子平安吉祥。
处于胎中的菩萨，自然清净，像是五彩光中的净琉璃，澄澈光明。而摩耶夫人，一点也没有怀胎的不适与疲累，反而更显得清朗愉悦，身口意业清净调柔。
经过十月的等待，夫人乘着轿子，即将回娘家待产。旅途中经过蓝毗尼园，晨曦中的花园，花草芬芳，清丽脱俗。摩耶夫人深为吸引欢欣说道：「多么美丽的花园，暂时在这里歇息吧！」
嗅着泉池里淡雅芬芳的荷花，聆听百鸟和悦的鸣唱，夫人欢喜地缓步林中，一棵苍郁茂盛的无忧树，青翠柔软的枝叶，为了迎接圣人而缓缓下垂，摩耶夫人举起右手轻抚新美的嫩叶。剎那间，太子即从母亲的右胁安详而生。降生后，即于十方周行七步，朵朵宝莲自地涌现承接其足。太子右手指天，左手指地，作狮子吼：「天上天下，唯我独尊；三界皆苦，我当安之。」
人天导师降生娑婆，从此暗冥世间有了曙光，众生的热恼有了解脱的希望。顿时，大地涌现六种震动；九龙王口吐温冷交替的香汤灌浴太子，大梵天王亲持伞盖，带领诸天于虚空中散下天花、璎珞、七宝、名香等诸宝，欢欣地迎接佛陀的诞生。

Dharma Talk
The Buddha Born Beneath the Aśoka Tree
On a night when a gentle breeze softly stirred, a majestic white elephant with six tusks appeared in the dream of Queen Māyā in the city of Kapilavastu. Amid auspicious rays of light and heavenly music, the white elephant slowly descended from Tuṣita Heaven and entered Queen Māyā’s womb. This auspicious and magnificent dream foretold the coming of the Teacher of the Three Realms.
”The Bodhisattva, the Benevolent One, has descended into His mother’s womb. The beings of the Three Realms, both humans and devas, will soon have a refuge!” The news of the Bodhisattva’s conception spread throughout the heavens. The celestial beings were like parched land joyfully awaiting the coming of life-giving nectar. Rejoicing with delight, they praised Him in song through the sky and scattered heavenly flowers. The Four Great Heavenly Kings, protectors of the Dharma, personally assigned the four heavenly princes to guard Queen Māyā day and night, ensuring the safety and well-being of both mother and child.
While abiding in the womb, the Bodhisattva remained naturally pure, like flawless crystal within five-colored radiance, clear and brilliantly luminous. Queen Māyā experienced none of the discomfort or weariness of pregnancy. Instead, she became even more serene and joyful, with her bodily actions, speech, and thoughts becoming pure, gentle, and harmonious.
After ten months had passed, Queen Māyā set out in a palanquin to return to her parents’ home for childbirth. On the journey, she passed through Lumbinī Garden. In the morning light, the garden was fragrant with flowers and grasses, fresh, elegant, and beyond compare. Deeply delighted, Queen Māyā said, “What a beautiful garden! Let us rest here for a while.”
Breathing in the delicate fragrance of the lotus blossoms in the spring-fed pond and listening to the harmonious songs of hundreds of birds, the Queen joyfully strolled through the grove. There stood a luxuriant and flourishing Aśoka tree. Its fresh green branches and tender leaves gracefully bent downward as if to welcome the Holy One. Queen Māyā raised her right hand and gently touched the newly sprouted leaves. At that very moment, the Crown Prince was peacefully born from His mother’s right side. Immediately after His birth, He took seven steps in each of the ten directions, and at every step, precious lotus flowers sprang forth from the earth to support His feet. Pointing His right hand toward the heavens and His left hand toward the earth, the Prince proclaimed with a lion’s roar, “Above the heavens and below the heavens, I alone am the Honored One. The Three Realms are filled with suffering; I shall bring them peace.”
The Teacher of humans and devas was born into the Sahā World. From that moment onward, the dark and deluded world was illuminated with the light of dawn, and all sentient beings gained hope for liberation from the burning afflictions of existence. Instantly, the earth trembled in six different ways. The Nine Dragon Kings spouted streams of fragrant water, alternately warm and cool, to bathe the Prince. Great Brahmā personally held a jeweled parasol, leading the celestial beings as they scattered heavenly flowers, jeweled ornaments, the seven precious treasures, fine incense, and many other celestial offerings throughout the sky, joyfully welcoming the birth of the Buddha.
