I think your explanation adds details that help to see that it is much more than a story and even if it is not historically correct, what survived the test of time is the message you outlined here. I especially resonated with this part:

“Each person is given the lordship of their own avatar (buddha body). We are each Kings. The essence of the entire story is to use the personifications as Yadims, or objects of veneration to see the truth behind the symbolism, eventually awakening (BUDH) to your higher nature as the one the stories are about.”

I learned so much from this series and as you alluded to, I had noticed that his mother’s name was Maya. I never knew that.

I also never knew the details behind why or how he was kept away from seeing disease, old age and death, so that was interesting and helpful for my understanding.

Again, regardless of if it was historically correct, it opened my eyes in the same way that the new testament opened my eyes about Jesus.

I walked away feeling like this story was about me and also that The Buddha in the story is with me.

If you start a new thread, please let me know………Thanks! Please feel free to use this thread. I would like that!

The Buddha in the story is you.. as is Jesus in his story...
Buddha Nature, Christ Consciouness, all are one.
