Buddhism was not created with the will: "I will do new". Buddha was a real living person, he was a son of the king of the Sakyas a kingdom in northindia, and was called Gautama. He lived in a palace, outside of this palace it was ugly and stinky smelling. The People become sick, grow old and die. Suffering doing so. Gautama saw this suffering beings and thought by himself, there must be a way to end this suffering. He went off the palace, cut his hair, changed cloth with a beggar and started to meditate nearby the river Ganges, close to the village Gaya. One day came a boat along with a musican and his deciple. The musican tought his deciple: "Don't pull the string to tight it will bent, and don't leave the string to loose, it will make no sound". Hearing these words, Gautama Sakyamuni became enlightened and he was Buddha Sakyamuni. He found the way of the middle. He was the first human who was enlightened by himself. Buddha went from Gaya to Saranath near Benares, and there he turnd the wheel of knowledge the first time. Explaining his experience to everyone who asked him, he lived to the age of over 80 years. Buddhism has not been created, it is the natural consequence of these facts, that Gautama Sakyamuni has reached enlightnement.This is the shortest story about Buddha I've ever told! yep!
