His natal anecdote is great!
Shotoku Taishi was born among the Anahobenohashihito empresses with the Yomei Emperor.
One day the Buddhist priest that a whole body shined with gold before the empress appeared and said in this way.
"There is a wish of the redemption of the world for me. Which dwells in the stomach of the princess for a while."
Besides, the Buddhist priest introduced himself as an Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
When the empress approved it, the Bodhisattva seemed to go from the mouth of the empress into the body.
Furthermore, the opinion which spoke from a stomach has the Crown Prince when the empress is 8 months pregnant.
However, there was not the sign which was born even if it was past the due month.
Then after a Bodhisattva appeared about time for a while; January 1 one year later.
When the empress went along in front of Umayado, She gave birth to a baby suddenly with there not being the labor pains.
(it is for this purpose that Prince Shotoku is called Umayado prince.)
Because there was not a pain, the empress did not notice that she gave birth to a baby.
The baby seemed to hold a bone of small Buddha in a hand.
In addition, the aware person comes; cannot pigeon it,
Does birth resemble a certain celebrity person?
It is Christ!
Association of Shotoku Taishi and Christ may become the topic.
