A special boy

Once upon a time, there was a boy who can walk as soon as he
was born. He will become a genius one day. He was born in the
Lumbini Village of Nepal about 600 BC. His name was
Siddhartha. His father was the ruler of Kapilvastu. However,
unfortunately, his mom died soon after his birth.
Time elapsed. The little boy grew into a handsome boy. He
became royal prince whose father had protected him from any
kind of suffering. He lived in a beautiful palace with all luxury
items of the world. He was a child prodigy, with a contemplative
bent of mind. Even his teachers were surprised as he knew so
much without being taught. But his father was troubled because
he was not like other princes. He didn’t like shooting and
hunting though he was a brave prince and experts in using
weapons as well. He used to spend his time in wandering alone.
Sometimes, he would sit in meditation under a tree and ponder
over the questions of life and death. His father feared that
Siddhartha might leave home and so, kept tried to insulate him
from the harsh realities of the world outside by keeping him
inside the palace all the time.
When he was 18, he married to a princess from other country in
order to divert his mind. Soon, they had a son but all these could
not transform the mind of young boy.
When he encountered an old man, a sick person and a dead
body, he realized how short lived is worldly passions and
pleasures. One dark night, he left his home and went to the forest
in search of peace and truth while everyone was sleeping
completely.
He wandered from place to place to gain more knowledge. He
met many scholars and saints but he was not satisfied. No one
was able to give him the answer he wanted.
He did not stop his search for truth and knowledge. After six
years of wandering and meditation, he got enlightenment when
he was sitting in meditation under a pipal tree. Six years elapsed.
He now got transformed into the enlightened one at the age of
the thirty-five. He got the answers he wanted. He decided to
share this knowledge with the world. Despite all the hardships,
he is now respected by all. His teachings spread throughout the
world. He just wanted to show people the right way and at last
his plan succeed. He guided not only his family but also the
whole world. And he died at the age of 80 but his name was still
alive.
