About Lord Buddha :
There was once a king named Suddhodana and a queen named Mahamaya who lived in the city of Kapilavastu in the sixth century B.C.
One day, as the queen was resting in her palace, she dreamt that a white elephant carrying a white lotus in its trunk entered her right side.
Some time later, a baby was born to the queen. He was named Siddhartha Gautama.
On the birth of the child, Siddhartha, the astrologers predicted to its father Suddhodana: "The child, on attaining manhood, would become either a universal monarch (Chakravarti), or a monk.
The prince grew up within the palace walls, having no contact with the outside world. He learnt the skills and engaged in the pastimes of princes.
Prince Siddhartha married a beautiful princess named Yashodhara and they had a son. The little boy was named Rahula. They all lived happily together within the world of wealth and power.
Until one day, when Prince Siddhartha finally persuaded his father to let him go outside the palace walls to see the city. What Siddhartha did not know was that his father had ordered the city streets cleared of anyone who was old or sick.
So when Siddhartha and his groom set out for their tour of the city in chariots they saw many young and happy people.
However, they also happened upon a feeble old man who was lying at the side of the road.
As this was different from anything Siddhartha had ever seen before, he asked someone to explain what was wrong with the man. It was only then that Siddhartha learned about how people get old.
Siddhartha was very moved by the suffering of the old man. He journeyed out into the city three more times and saw a sick man, a dead man and a sage. These visits led to his realising the fundamental truths of life.
