The Life of Buddha
Siddhartha Leads a Life of Pleasure
- Suddhodana lived a nice life and was really caring of his people
- Suddhodana always gave the people the advice and guidance that they needed instead of death
The Three Encounters
- The prince was ready to leave the kingdom and his father found out
- For the princes goodbye his father made sure to clean a path for him so the prince will stay clean of all the bad in the world, he was given a chariot for his travels
- Even with the efforts of the princes father the dark and grey that the world brings was soon brought upon the prince
- The gods put a struggling old man in the path of the chariot and the prince was confused as to why the old man looked the way he did
- The princes father did his best to undo the unsightly thing his son had saw, he did this by arranging a really nice day in the garden with the help of a friend
Gopa's Dream
- Even with the efforts in the gardens to help change the mindset of the young prince nothing was helping
- The prince did not accept any of the pleasures his father had given him because all he could think about was the death that was awaiting him as he got older
- Once he got back to the palace he couldn't sleep and this is when he met Gopa
Siddhartha Leaves His Father's Palace
- The prince asked for his horse late at night
- The prince set out on the horse late at night to leave his fathers kindgom
- The horse was as quiet as he could as not to wake the towns people
-There is great efforts to get the prince to come back to the kingdom but every try is unsuccessful
-The prince enters the forest in disguise in run down clothes and cut his hair
- The prince did this so no one would notice him and he would have the element of surprise if there was ever an attack on him
