Pictured is a statue of an elephant at the Buddhist Center of Dallas, Texas. The elephant symbolism in Buddhism is a sign of strength, honor, patience, peacefulness, and wisdom. The Elephant is even claimed to possess the same attributes attained by the Buddha. Legend has it that the Buddha’s mother had met an elephant in her dream one night, who placed a white lotus into her womb using his tusk. Much like the Virgin Mary, this is the story of the Buddha`s birth.
