Siddhartha's father, King Suddhodana, wanted him to become a great ruler and a powerful king. To ensure this, he shielded Siddhartha from any experiences that could lead him to question the material world or pursue a spiritual path. The king believed that by providing a life of luxury and comfort, Siddhartha would fulfill his destiny as a leader. However, Siddhartha's eventual exposure to the realities of suffering led him to seek a different path.
