Story of Lord Buddha
This story descries about Lord Buddha. It tells how a prince
Siddharth became Lord Buddha.
Lumbini is a beautiful place in the southern part of Nepal.
About 2500 years ago, a baby boy was born to the king and queen. The baby was
named Siddharth. His mother died when he was five years old. The baby grew into
a handsome prince. His father tried to keep him happy. The little prince had
everything he needed – fine clothes, the best food and good toys. But he was
not interested in them. He wanted to be alone and always found in deep thought.
Later he was married to a beautiful princess. She was called Yashodhara. They
had a son and named him Rahul. The king hoped that Siddharth would become a
great ruler.
One day Siddharth was driving through the street in his
chariot. He saw an old man then a sick man. The old man could hardly walk. The
sick man groaned in pain. Then he saw some people carrying a dead body, others
were wailing and weeping at the loss of dear one. Siddharth was very upset to
see so much suffering and unhappiness. He was shocked. Then he saw an entirely
different sight. A man in yellow robes was walking along the street. There was
no trace of sadness on his radiant face, instead it shone with peace. He was
monk who had given up the world to escape the misery of life.
Siddharth wanted to find out why there was so much suffering
in the world. He wanted to find out how men could be free of misery. He could
find neither peace nor happiness in the life he was leading at the palace. One
night Siddharth left his home, his wife and his little son. He went into the
forest. He wanted to search for a way out of suffering and sorrow for all
mankind. He meditated and got enlightenment. He became lord Buddha, the
enlightened one. Truth was revealed to him and he learnt all the secrets of
life and the world.
He found out that he world was full of sorrow and unhappiness.
The reason for it was greed and selfishness. To be free from suffering we must
be free from greed and desire. Desire is the root cause of all human suffering.
He advocated the Middle Path and asked his followers to avoid the two extremes.
