Happy #Vesak and #MothersDay !
We invite you to take advantage of the double holiday to reflect not only upon the gifts you have received from your own #mothers and from the #Buddha 's teachings, but also upon the two women who were maternal figures to the Bodhisatta Gotama: his birth mother Māyādevī and his aunt and #foster mother Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī (who also became the first #nun ).
