Why did buddhisim start?

Answer 1

Great question! Buddhism began with an Indian prince named Siddhartha Gautama. His father wanted to shield him from all suffering, and so Siddhartha was locked up in his castle. One day, Siddhartha wanted to see his kingdom, so he took a walk and saw poverty, sickness, death,etc. and he wanted to end it. So, he went on a meditation retreat, where he discovered all of the main concepts of Buddhism and became enlightened and became Buddha.
