The story of buddha
Storyboard Text
- Once Upon a time, in Ancient India.....
- There was a castle......
- And in that castle, was a door.........
- And in that door, was a queen sleeping, and she was having a very important dream.
- In the dream, she met a white elephant. She was confused by it, so she asked a priest about it.
- The priest said, "This dream means you will give birth to a powerful king, or a spiritual leader."
- Then, Prince Siddharta was born. But, his father didn't want him to be a spiritual leader. Instead, a powerful king.
- And to do that, he needed to keep him from the horrors of the world. So he kept him in a palace, surrounding him with luxuries. Hiding him from fear.
- One day, Siddharta got sick of being in the palace. So he sneaked out of the palace, and went on an adventure with his driver.
- On the first day, the prince saw a man with a beard that looked sad and frail. He asked the driver: "Who is that?" The driver responded with: "He is an old man. He has aged and will die soon. It happens to all of us."
- On the second day, the prince saw a man that seemed upset and weak. The Prince asked: "Why does he look like that?" The driver responded: "He has a cold. He is sick. It happens to all of us."
- The Third day, the prince saw a man lying down. A man looked upset beside him. The prince asked:"Why is he lying down like that?" The driver responded:"He is a dead man. The other man is mourning for him. It happens to all of us."
- After learning about these three forms of suffering, Siddharta becomes an ascetic and shaves his hair. He bids farewell to his driver, and sets off on an epic journey, to find inner peace.
- And so, buddha goes on an epic journey to find enlightenment.
- So, Buddha wants to find inner peace. And he decides that to do that, he needs to take away physical needs, like eating and sleeping, and meditates instead.
- But Buddha finds out this is not a great method, and becomes very sick, so he decides to have to balance physical needs.
- One day, while Buddha is meditating, he does it. He finds enlightenment. Or to be more exact: Nirvana. By balancing physical needs with meditating, he finds inner peace, and finally becomes: Buddha. And creates Buddhism.
- The End.
