Best Answer

Siddharta Gautama, to be known as Buddha after his enlightenment, was unsatisfied with his luxurious life as a prince. Over four separate days, on a journey out with his charioteer, Channa, he experienced four sights: an old man, a sick man, a funeral procession and a Saddhu (Indian holy man). He went off to try and find an answer to man's suffering. After many wanderings, he sat down underneath a Bodhi tree, and started to meditate. He meditated for a long time, overcoming many temptations, until finally he reached Nirvana, the state of eternal bliss.
