I've been reading "The Meaning of Mary Magdalene, " by Cynthia Bourgeault. From this book's perspective Mary was crucial to Jesus' development, insight, blossoming. This perspective resonates with me in a deep way, as yet another truth forgotten (concealed?) by those who write our histories. Thank you so much for pointing out the crucial role of the 'milk maiden' in the Buddha's journey. Neither Mary nor Buddha's unnamed 'nurse,' are given proper credit.
