One of the greatest changes in religious and philosophical history is the journey from being a prince to becoming a Buddha. At the core of Buddhism, this account began in ancient India resulting in what it is today, being practiced all over the globe with countless cultures affected. In discussing this, we will be taking a look into Siddhartha Gautama’s life; he was also known as “Buddha” which means awakened one. It is not just a biography but an allegory for the human search for illumination and release from sorrow.

The tale commences more than 2500 years ago in the foothills of the Himalayas present-day Nepal. As an infant prince, Siddhartha Gautama had been born into great luxury with all its trappings by his father who was himself king. Nonetheless, Siddhartha did not live oblivious to some human realities such as aging, illness, or death despite living amidst luxuriousness. The encounter with this suffering sowed seeds in him and made him start seeking salvation.
