In the year 624 BC, in Kapilvastu (Nepal) Siddhartha Gautama was born as a prince. His father was King Suddhodhan and his mother was Queen Maya Devi. When he was sixteen he finished his education inside the palace and he married to Princess Yasodhara. King Suddhodan handed over his kingdom to his son Siddhartha. Prince Siddhartha and princess Yasodhara had a baby name, Rahul. When king Siddhartha was 29 years old he decided to renounce lay life. He left his kingdom and went to several well-known teachers to study the ultimate nature of reality. But their teaching method didn’t satisfy him and he set out to find his own path. Six years later he went to Bodhgaya near the Niranjan River and sat under a tree.
