Storyboard Text
- Come here my boy
- A Ruler or a leader
- What?
- Siddhartha Gautama was born in Nepal(India) in the 500s BCE. He grew up as a wealthy Hindu prince and had all the luxuries he desired. His father was a king and he wanted Siddhartha to be a king as well.
- Im hungryyy
- Siddhartha’s father shielded him from everything unpleasant because he wanted Siddhartha to become a king, not a spiritual leader. A fortune-teller told his father that Siddhartha could take either of these paths. As a result, Siddhartha was hidden from the truth and never saw suffering...poor, sad, or sick people.
- Ahmmm...Ahmmmmm
- When Siddhartha left the palace he saw an old man and a person afflicted with sickness. He also saw a funeral procession and an ascetic. When he saw this he decided to look for the truth about life.
- To begin his journey he went to the ascetics. The ascetics deny themselves the needs link life like food, water, nice clothing, and shelter. After a while, Siddhartha realized that he was just bringing more suffering to himself so he decided to leave.
- He went and sat under a bodhi tree and meditated for days on end. When he was done he discovers the middle way and the 4 noble truths. He also discovered the eightfold path.
- After Buddha reached enlightenment he traveled around and spread the word about what he had found. Some of the ascetics, gurus, and other people decided to follow him. After a while, Buddha went back to the palace and eventually his wife, son, and father started to follow him.
