Lumbini ia a beautiful place in the Southern part of Nepal. About 2500 years ago a baby was born to the king annd queen. the baby was named siddharth. his mother died when he was five days old. The baby boy 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 was always fond in deep thought Later he was married to a beautiful priness. she was called yashodhara. They had a son was called yashodhara. they had a son and named him rahul. the king hoped that siddharth would become a great ruler.
On day siddarth was driving thought the street in the his chariot. He Saw an old man and then a sick man. the oldman 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 a 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 a 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 was so much suffering in ther 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 siddarth 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 to life and the world.
He found out that the world was full of sorrow and unhappiness. the reason for it was greed and selfishness. to be free form suffering, we must be free form 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 extermes.
