Prince Siddhartha was born and studied literature, science, languages and he learned Hindu philosophy from a Brahmin.

He married Yashodhara and they had a son named Rahula.

Siddhartha, who is bored in the palace, one day began a walk that lasted forever. He successively encounters an old man who walks with difficulty, covered by purulent plague boils, a weeping family that carries the corpse of one of his own to the pile, and finally a Bhikshu, mendicant monk, bowl in hand, search his food without ceasing to keep his eyes lowered.

Siddhartha Gautama takes place under a a fig tree, vowing not to move before reaching the truth, and at the age of 35 years Buddha reaches enlightenment, one hand on the ground, in decision posture the earth to witness his past merits. He claims to have a complete understanding of nature, causes of human suffering and the steps required for its elimination. He will always will insist that he is neither a god nor the messenger of god, and that enlightenment is possible for all beings.
