Information #1 The Story of the Buddha 1 Siddhattha Gotama was an Indian prince. He was born about 560 years before the time of Jesus. When he was born a wise man prophesied that if he ever saw suffering he would become a religious leader instead of a king. His father decided that he must never see suffering so he decreed that Siddhattha must never go outside the royal palace and its grounds. Eventually Siddhattha became bored and wanted to know more of the world. Information #2 The Story of the Buddha 2 One day, he sneaked out of the palace with his slave Channah while his father was not looking. While he was outside he saw 4 things that surprised and worried him. He thought about those things for a long time. The 4 Things That Siddhattha Saw He saw an old man. He had never seen an old person before. He saw a sick man. He had never seen anyone unwell before. He saw a dead body and relatives weeping around it. He had never heard of anyone dying. He saw a holy man. He had never seen a holy man before. He spoke to the man who told him that he had left his home, his friends and his family and was wandering from place to place trying to find the meaning of life.
Information #3 The Story of the Buddha 3 These things worried him. He asked himself why there was so much suffering in the world. He decided to become a holy man himself and to go off in search of an answer. He took off his royal robes and put on simple clothes. He shaved his hair. He said goodbye to his wife and son and left the palace. Siddhartha spent 6 years travelling around northern India. He spent some time with a group of monks. At one point he gave up food and lived on very little but it did not aid him, he decided it wasn t extremes but living a middle way that might work. Information #4 The Story of the Buddha 4 He came to a holy fig tree and rested in its shade. For 46 days he stayed there thinking deeply and paying no attention to what was going on around him. This kind of deep thinking is called meditation. As he sat and meditated, he realised that he understood the answers to his questions. Buddhists say that he became enlightened. He became The Buddha. He went back to Benares, the place where he had lived with the monks, and in the park there he told them about what he had discovered. They understood what he was saying and became his first disciples. The Buddha lived until he was 80 years old.
