WHY HE LEFT KINGDOM !!!

Reason : 01

When he was sightseeing his dark area he saw Old, Sick, Death and ascetic person from which he was darkened by his Father in-order to make Siddhartha the new Chakavarti King. One night he was feeling restless full of ignorance bearing intolerable pain in his heart. He tried to meditate and wanting to know the cure for his ignorant illness that gave him Pain.

Reason 02 :

They were republic kingdom. They got fight against Koliyas for water irrigation so, Buddha talk in behalf of Sakyas Republic committee Banishment both Suddhodhan and Buddha. But Buddha wants just him to Banishment.

Reason 03 :

Once he was in pleasure palace enjoying singing and dancing by Angel like beautiful girls. Girls were well decorated and make up. No one can keep their eyes away after seeing them. Palace was like Deva indra palace. As usual he was enjoying, drinking and got slept for certain moment in the palace with girls. When he wake up he saw very shocking pictures. All the beautiful girls were scatter with dead make up. Saliva, tears, torn clothes and all the beautiful pictures were all in worst situation and made Siddhartha to think about the situation and reasons. This is also one storythat may the Siddhartha left Palace.

Relation of Siddhartha with Family members !!!

• Prajapati is his second mother who take care Siddhartha as her own son, its on saying that Prajapati didin't have child so that Caring to Siddhartha became a bit less as promised to Maha Maya. Prajapati married with Suddhodhan because Maha Maya was not having child for very long time.

• King Suddhodhan wants to make his son Siddhartha as a Chakravarti Ruler in whole kingdom.One of the Fortune Teller or Spiritualist made announcement that Siddhartha will became Awakened One who will spread Love and Compassion through the world. This Future made Suddhodhan to kept Siddhartha in secret from surrounding which became one of the biggest reason for Siddhartha to leave Kingdom. Before Siddhartha left Kingdom he asked Question to both Mother and father about the novel Truth. ||Why People became Sick ?? Why old ?? Why Suffering ?? Why Die ??||If they were able to answer then Siddhartha will stop. But no one know about Novel truth so left Kingdom in search of Novel truth.

• Uncle, Aunt and Devdatta :Devdatta is older brother of Siddhartha but Cruel like his father and mother. "Culture of Father and Mother result to son's behaviour"

*Aunt of Siddhartha was in Love with Suddhodhan but married with Devdatta Father.

Uncle and Aunt always wants to send Siddhartha away from Palace so that Devdatta could became King. And in Final this happen : Aunt made Siddhartha's dream come true i.e reason to born in universe.#Spiritual Teacher of whole universe.

Devdatta is always in competition with Siddhartha, Swan incident, Vedas and in every things. Devdatta was also in love with Yasodhara but only Physically.

|| All compounded things are subject to vanish.Strive with earnestness! Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely. Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.||

Turning Wheel of Dharma for the first time :

After Siddhartha became Buddha he keeps looking over Bodhi Tree for 7 days and felt confused whether the Samsaric human can understand my achievement or not.

Misunderstanding of Buddhist People. in today's world

Buddhism is not a religion where you prays, you offer or perform any rituals. It's just a Simple Philosophical subject matter. Its to be Analyse, experience and transfer yourself from Lost world to meaningful Life i.e Life with Purpose and reason.

"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophy. Our own Brain, our own heart is our temple, the Philosophy is kindness. "-Dalai Lama

All the God and goddess they depend upon are all Teachers and past Buddhist practitioners who are well experienced with Buddhist Philosophy. They were also the suffered beings so, depending fully upon them is also bring unsatisfaction on you. We should read and analyse their method and implement by our self. If its work for you then only follow otherwise its useless. One method can't be enough for all because all beings are different by each other.
