About Buddha, comparing my story which I've watched in JApan to the real text I've seen in journey of faith.

A baby boy was born about 2600 years ago in Limbini, Nepal, under extraordinary circumstances.Immediately after birth, he walked his first seven steps and said his first words.This baby, destined for greatness, was named Siddhartha Gautama.He grew up as a wealthy prince but remained troubled by the sufferings of his fellow humans.He searched for a long time to find a solution.Eventually, he solved the complex puzzle of how suffering could cease and achieved enlightenment.Siddhartha Gautama became Buddha.Buddhism's birth place is in northen South Asia but today, the only South Asian country to have a majority of Buddhists is Sri Lanka.However, Buddha's teaching has a far greater effect on East Asia--China, Japan and Korea--and several countries in Southeast Asia, where the religion is widespread.

This are the texts found during my visit to the Journey Of Faith museum with my primary cum kindergarden skool fren. Jus compare it with the post I've posted previously, I can say that I understand the show well la....hahaha....

Below are some pics, about the story of Buddha.

Buddha was born over 2600 years ago as Prince Siddhartha Gautama, in a kingdom in Limbini, Nepal. Signs at his birth led people to believe that he would either be a great king or achieve enlightenment one day.

Siddhartha led a sheltered and privileged life. His father, the King, made sure the Prince had the best of everything and did not have to suffer or see others suffering.

One day, Siddhartha left the palace and saw an old man, a sick man and a corpse, all which troubled him. He later met a dignified hermit and was impressed by him. He began to find his privileged life meaningless and decided to leave it behind.

Even though Siddhartha's wife had just given birth to their first son he decided to leave the palace that very night. By being a wandering ascertic, his aim was to find a way to end human suffering.

To be continued.......
