none the bhuda spent all his time meditating, praying, and teaching.
Buddhsim was founded by Siddhartha who was hindu by birth. He tried meditating after seeing a hindu Saint.
I'm Bhuddist, no not just people see Bhudda...who is Siddhartha, it's believed that only holy monks and people that meditate can communicate with Bhudda, but only by meditating or dreams. Well that was what I was taught anyway :)
Siddhartha Gautama renounced his life of luxury, including his princely status, wealth, and family, in search of spiritual enlightenment and to seek a solution to the suffering in the world. He was motivated by a deep desire to understand the nature of human existence and find a path to alleviate suffering for himself and others.
Siddhartha did not believe. He came to *know* -- through the direct experience of the inner world he gained by meditating. What did he come to know? The state of consciousness referred to as "enlightenment." Of course, this word means nothing to a person who has not meditated herself.
Siddhartha Gautama aka the Buddha, traveled away from his home in India and frequently meditated. He went for days without eating until he reached "enlightenment" where it was said he was meditating under a tree that came to be known as "the Tree of Enlightenment"
Siddhartha Gautama founded Buddhism .
Siddartha achieved enlightenment when meditating at the Bohdi tree. He also then realized the importance of darhma, created the eightfold path, and realized that the feeling of happiness never lasts forever.
You can find peace by meditating or quiet time to think about problems so that your soul can be released
Siddhartha (Buddha) felt sad but he knew that he had to follow his destiny and find the answer to all the suffering in the world
I think it was because Siddhartha taught Govinda something he never thought of before. Govinda was a Monk who spent his whole life meditating and attempting to understand the nature of being, he believes nirvana awaits at the end of a journey. Siddhartha says that understanding comes from loving things for what they are. He speaks of a stone, saying that we respect the stone because it will be many things, but Siddhartha is saying that he loves the stone because it has been so many things already, and it will always be/is everything. Thusly the stone is the same as us. Govinda has always been as Siddhartha says a "seeker" he has spent his life in contemplation trying to reach a goal and Siddhartha teaches him that the achievement is in understanding and appreciating the moment, or the rock. Nirvana is within the self, not somewhere else. All things are good because all things are each other. Maybe.
Siddhartha Gautama, The Buddha, wanted to find out why beings suffer (are discontented) and how to relieve it so that beings can enjoy a happier life.
