Best Answer

According to his own story, the Buddha's enlightenment came from long contemplation on the nature of suffering. But ultimately, it was listening to a sitar player instruct his son as to the nature of usability of a string: A string which is wound too tightly will soon break; a string which is not tight enough will produce no sound, or the wrong sound. The Buddha then realized that true enlightenment is about balance. It was the end of his being an ascetic monk, and he then went on to teach people about balance.
