Life of Buddha

The life of Buddha begins in India. In India lived a Queen named Mayadevi who had a dream that she was carried to a silver mountain and placed on a silver couch. She asked the Brahmins what it meant. The Brahmins explained what her dream meant, it meant that she was carrying a great man. The Brahmins said the child had two possible paths a Buddha or a prince. His name would be Prince Siddhartha.

As the boy grew up he became a prince. His father had him locked up in protection. As he grew older he had freedom to go outside. He drove around places. He learned the three forms of suffering. The first trip he learned Aging. He asked his driver what was wrong with that man. The man was Aging, that is why he looked so terrible. Then in the second trip he asked his driver what’s the matter with that man. His driver said he was sick. One the third trip he asked his driver why were a group of people carrying a figure in white cloth. The driver said it was death and it would come for you too. There he learned the three forms of suffering, after that he went on a search to key of  enlightenment.
