Enlightened Asia Seeker Founds an Enduring Philosophy
In the beginning it was said that Buddha found enlightenment beneath the bod-hi tree, near what is now Nepal. Siddhartha Gautama was a pampered prince born around 563 B.C. he frustarted his father who tryed to sheild him from the sight of suffering and death.
Siddhartha Gautama became a wondering holy man who eventually founded the 4 Noble Truths which today brings all Buddhists together.
"Most of that suffering, including fear of death can be traced to "desire", the minds habit of seeing err-thing through the prism of the self and its well being. Yet this craving can be transcended leading to peace and eventully Nirvana. The means to reach Nirvana lies in the Eight fold Path of proper views, resolve, speech, action, livlihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration.
