Gautama Buddha (c. 563 BCE/480 BCE – c. 483 BCE/400 BCE), also known as Siddhartha (Siddhartha is a Sanskrit name meaning “one who has accomplished a goal” and Gautama is a family name. ) Gautama Shakyamuni Buddha or simply the Buddha, after the title of Buddha, was an ascetic and sage, on whose teachings Buddhism was founded. He is believed to have lived and taught mostly in the eastern part of ancient India sometime between the sixth and fourth centuries BCE.

During my Lumbini visit I saw some statues in the premises that were built to show the life cycle of Gautam Buddha to the visitors. Here I am going the share your those pictures. Hope you will like them and please don’t forget to leave your comments below.

Photos were taken by me using Motorola Moto G 2nd Gen.

At the age of 29, Siddhartha left his palace and family to lead an ascetic life. He thought that living a life of self-denial will provide him with the answers he was looking for. For the next six years he lived a life of extreme austerity, eating very little food and fasting till he became very weak.

After meditating for 49 days, he finally realized the answer to the questions of suffering that he had been seeking for so many years. He found pure enlightenment, and in that moment of enlightenment, Siddhartha Gautama became the Buddha ("he who is awake").

He went to the Deer Park in Isipatana where he found the five companions who had earlier abandoned him. He preached his first sermon to them and the others who had gathered there. In his sermon, he focused on the Four Noble Truths: Dukkha (suffering), Samudaya (cause for suffering), Nirodha (state of mind free from suffering) and Marga (way to end suffering).
