BIRTH OF PRINCE SIDDHARTHA

Prince Siddhartha was born during the full moon of Visakha in the year 624 BCE. On the day of his birth, Queen Sirimahamaya was traveling from Gabilabahd to Devadaha, observing the custom of traveling to her fathers house to give birth to her son

As soon as the Bodhisatta was born, he walked seven steps forward. At the seventh step, he raised his right hand and exclaimed, “I am the wisest one in the world. This is my last birth”.

NAMING CEREMONY

King Suddhodana had a naming ceremony for his five-day old son. He invited a total of 108 relatives, wise men, and Brahmins. Eight Brahmins performed the ceremony and named the prince 'Siddhartha', meaning "wish fulfilled", a person who has accomplished his goals. Seven of the Brahmins said that the prince will be a great king if he wanted to rule, or the Prince would renounce the throne and become a Buddha. Kondanya, the youngest Brahmin, said the prince will definitely be the next Buddha.

THE FLOUR SIGNSKing Suddhodana was certain that the

marriage would ensure that Prince Siddhartha would be his successor. When the prince turned twenty nine, he started to get bored with his life and he made a journey to the city. while on the road he encountered an old man, a sick man, a corpse and an ascetic. Moved with compassion for the first three, he realized that life was subject to old age, disease and death. However, the ascetic signified the possibility of release from the conditions of the other three.

RENUNCIATION

After witnessing the four signs in the city, Prince Siddhartha decided to become an ascetic despite his family obligations. After waking in the middle of the night, he looked around at all the things he had. Although he was surrounded by beauty he was no longer pleased by these things but saw uncertainty there instead.

THE GREAT FLIGHT

Deciding to leave the palace to become an ascetic, the prince called his faithful servant Channa to get his horse Kanthaka ready for him. He went to say goodbye to his wife and his son Rahula without waking them up. He made a vow to himself that he will return when he finds the answers to what he was looking for. The moon was full on the night the prince left.

ASCETICISM

Siddhattha went in search of teachers skilled in mystical knowledge. He first went to Alara Kalama who declared the “dimension of nothingness” as his Truth. He also went to Uddaka Ramaputta who declaired the “dimension of neither perception nor non-perception” as his Truth. Seeing that their teaching did not lead to true Awakening and Unbinding, Siddhattha left them.He then decided to practice by himself with the five ascetics, Kondanya, Vappa, Bhaddiya, Mahanama and Assana. He endured all forms of austerity including abstaining from food and water.
