Hey readers! Today my post is about Siddhartha Gautama also knows as the Buddha. This is a super old story, so some of you might not agree with all the tales, but also feel free to research lots more about it!. Enjoy!!! 😁😁

In around 480 BCE or 530 BCE, in a town called Lumbini, a prince had been born to the king of the town. The baby had been born fully awake and able to talk! The baby was named Siddhartha Gautama and he grew up inside the palace, never coming out.

At the age of 16, Siddhartha got married to a princess called Yashodhara and had a son too. The next night, Siddhartha realized he wanted to see what his father’s town looked like since he was going to inherit it soon. So he sneaked out of the palace and saw four things he had never seen before: old age, death, illness and a holy man. After he saw those things, Siddhartha gave up all his riches and wanted to meditate until he saw the answer for why all the things he saw happened.

Siddhartha sat under a fig tree for six years, with no food and no water, until he finally saw the answers for how the universe worked and finally achieved what is called, ‘enlightenment’. From here on, he became known as the Buddha and spread his tale of how he achieved enlightenment. Now many people started following him and what he did in the hope of achieving enlightenment too. He started a relegion called, Buddhism and a person called Dalai Lama leads it today.

Siddhartha lived for 80 years and died when he wanted to. Buddhism is the only religion where people follow a person, and it is a religion where it is led by a person who is still living (Dalai Lama) or a person who is now dead (Siddhartha Gautama).

Thank you guys for reading this blog, I hope you learnt something about the Buddha! Have a good day!!!
