   No, I'm referring to the village woman who the Buddha   
   gets together with just before, at, or just after   
   the time he reached Enlightenment, in the movie   
   Little Buddha.   (Around the same time there is a   
   scene where an empty rice bowl floats away on the   
   water and I have speculated that the rice bowl   
   represents first quarter moon or last quarter moon.)
