One quite popular explanation is that the songbird represents Siddharthas inner voice, or his soul. it is bound to the worldly aspects of his life, thus the bird is kept in a cage. as Siddhartha decides to leave the city, where he didn't find his enlightenment but instead fell for physical love and gambling, Kamala, his lover, frees the bird, which is a symbol for the re-found freedom of Siddhartha.
To The Buddha or to Buddhism? For The Buddha, when he died, he passed out of the cycle of rebirth and therefore is gone forever. Whether he exists in some afterlife realm is unknown. As for Buddhism, his followers continued his teachings and created schools and monasteries which continue to this day. The Buddhas teachings still flourish and Buddhism is the 4th largest religion on Earth and is the fastest growing religion in some countries. The history of Buddhism can be found on websites like Wikipedia.
The decline of the Maya civilization in the 8th and 9th centuries is thought to be due to a combination of factors, including environmental degradation, warfare, overpopulation, and drought. These stressors weakened the society, leading to political fragmentation and social unrest, ultimately contributing to the collapse of many Maya city-states.
Prince Siddhartha's life was different than most peoples. When he was born his mother Maya died. So then his dad had to take care of him and he said that he would only let his son have the best of everything best food, the best education, and of course the best clothes.His dad also said that he would have nothing less than the best and that he was not allowed to see the world outside the walls of the palace. One day Prince Siddhartha made his bus driver take him around in the city.First he came accross two old men aging. But the prince did not know what aging was and when he say it he did not like it. On his second trip he saw a person with a sickness but he did not know what sickness was either. And he did not like that either. On his third trip he saw and old person die .And he definetly didnt like that either.(who does!) And on his last trip he saw an astetic. An astetic is a person that gives up worldly pleasures to find enlightenment.When Siddhartha saw this he wanted tobecome an astetic. One day the prince asked a taxi driver to take him to the forest. When he was there he took of all of his jewelry and he vauluable stuff. When he was done he took of his clothes and put on a white robe.Then he started walking around to start his new life. (More stuff astetics can do is....................................................................... Hold their breath for long periods of time. ..........................................................................................................................) After a while the prince did not reach enlightenment beign and astetic and he didnt reach it beign a prince so he made a middle way. This way was becoming the BUDDHA! Siddhartha walked under a Bodhi tree and then he started to medidtate.Then and evil sprirt named Mana tried to delude Siddhartha into become evil but Siddhartha didnt pay attention to any of them. AND FROM THERE ON PRINCE SIDDHARTHA HAS BEEN TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO BECOME ENLIGHTED. UNTIL HE DIED AT AGE 80. THE END!
