You will become a king like me when you grow up. No religion and you will stay in the palace! - King
After many years of Siddhartha's father keeping him locked up in the castle to hide all the death, old age, suffering, and sick people from him, Siddhartha was finally allowed a tour of the village. The king did everything he could to hide things that could provoke his son's spiritual gifts, so he would become a king. Siddhartha saw an old man kneeling, a sick person, and a corpse, which changed his outlook.
I have never seen so much death and suffering, I can no longer be happy. - Siddhartha
Siddhartha decided to leave his wife and child to seek enlightenment and devote his life to spirituality, which is what his father tried to stop from happening.
I can no longer going to live like this, I am to begin my spiritual journey and become a wandering ascetic. I will also shave my hair off.
I am going to eat one meal and stay here under this tree until I get enlightenment, or die of starvation.
The next morning, he gets enlightenment and is known as the Buddha. He is worshipped, along with the tree.#160;
He later dies from eating a meal with spoiled pork.
