- I can't stand this isolation!
- Maybe starving myself and treating myself in such extreme ways wasn't the answer to my questions...
- Siddhartha Gautama was born in Nepal to the king. He was isolated by his father, because a holy man had told him that he would either become a great king, a military leader, or a great spiritual leader. His father wanted him to become a great king, so he made sure that he would not be influenced to become anything other than that.
- You should follow the Middle Way which is a path of balance!
- When Siddhartha was in his 20s, he set out to experience the outside world and escape the isolation, but what he saw truly shocked him. His driver had told him about how people grow old, and he saw a sick man, an ascetic, and a decaying corpse. He was overcome with emotions about all this suffering
- Buddha, you must teach others about all of the answers to suffering and enlightenment!
- Siddhartha decided to become an ascetic, and to practice his new ways with 5 others. When he still didn't get any answers, he began starving and bringing pain upon himself. One day, when a little girl offered him a bowl of rice, he realized that living in such an extreme way wasn't giving him any answers.
- The other ascetics left him but even if so, he encouraged others to follow a balanced path and avoid all acts of extremism. He called this path the Middle Way.
- Then, he decided that he was going to meditate under the Bodhi tree until he found the 4 Noble truths. He fought off a demon named Mara who was challenging his right to become Buddha. When he won, he saw a scene of all that happened in the universe, giving him his answers to suffering. Buddha did not want to teach others, because he felt it was too hard, so Brahma, the Kind of Gods, had to persuade him to.
- Buddha taught others with his new knowledge about Nirvana which is the final goal in Buddhism, Dharma and Karma which is also a belief in Hinduism, the 4 Noble Truths which are the answers to suffering, the Eightfold Path, and the middle way which is a path of balance. His first followers were the 5 ascetics, but over time he gained more followers of all race, wealth, and gender. When Buddha died, his followers decided that they would follow no leader. They passed down and taught others of the religion, such as Monks who helped spread the word. The silk road especially helped with this, because of how easily merchants were able to tell people from other regions about the religion and it's teachings. It spread to China, Korea, Japan and other regions.
