Question 1

Who’s the founder of boudisme?

Answer 1

The founder is Siddartha Guatama (Boudda) was borne in a family part of the Kshatriya group around 563 BCE. His mom had a vision that a white elephant (symbolizing purity) came out of the sky and went into her stomach where it grew. When he was born he took seven steps, each step a lotus flour appeared and then he spoke and said “this is my last rebirth”. His mom died and his aunt took care of him. He was raised in the palace and never was allowed to leave so he never knew what suffering was. At age of 24 Sid had 4 visions, a sick man, a body, and old man and a begging monk. After his visions he left the palace and went into the city where he witnessed suffering. He decided to live off rice and be homeless until he almost died and then realized he could do better with his life. He started meditating and kept the devil out.. He achieved nirvana and then came up with bouddisme by changing things from hinduisme that he didn’t like.
