First he saw suffering, death, and sickness. Then he decided to go with the other men to reach enlightenment and stop suffering, death, and sickness so he could reach Brahman and not have to see his loved ones die over and over again. The way to reach enlightenment that the men were using were to sometimes not eat but that didn't work for him. He was before a rich prince, Prince Siddhartha, and couldn't live by starving or being rich. He decided to live the middle way and take little and sometimes get what he wanted. Then he reached enlightenment and wrote the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path.

Did Buddha take an opium to gain his enlightenment?

Why did it take 35 years for Siddhartha to become the buddha?
For the first years of his life, Siddhartha lived a sheltered life and questioned nothing. He only left the palace to search for answers to suffering at the age of 29 and between the ages of 29 and 35 he was still searching for answers. He only became the Buddha when he became enlightened (the Buddha means, 'the enlightened one') and enlightenment does not come instantly. It takes work. you have to recognise the Three Universal truths and the Four Noble Truths and follow the eightfold path.

Is Buddha the god of Buddhism?
Buddha was not a god, never claimed to be a god, and did not call himself a god. He lived his life like a normal human. He was awake and a human just like you and me, he bled, got sick and he died of food poisoning. A god would not die from food poisoning. Yes, Buddha never claimed himself as a god, but he was a great teacher. When asked if he were a God, Buddha said No. "Then, teacher, what are you?" to which he replied... "Awake!"

What was Buddha's religon?
Buddha' s religion was Buddhist. A way that you can remember that is: Take away the "ist" And add a small "a", Now you have the word Buddha And that's that for today! More information: The founder of Buddhism. Lord Buddha was a prince, who forsook the comforts of a palace to seek enlightenment. He realised the essential unreality of the world, in the bliss of nirvana and spent the remainder of his life teaching others how to escape the endless cycle of birth and death. Buddha was born approximately 400 BC. He was a noble prince and it is said his father sought to shield the young prince Siddharta from the pain and suffering of the world. However, at one point, Buddha sought to find a greater meaning to life. So, in disguise, he left the Palace and wandered around the Kingdom. Here, Siddhartha came across, death, old age, illness and suffering. This showed him the transitory nature of life, so he resolved to seek the meaning of life. Siddhartha left the Palace, including his wife and child, and travelled into the forests to spend his time meditating with other ascetics. In his quest for enlightenment, the Buddha fasted excessively so his body wasted away; however, enlightenment remained a far cry. At one point, a passing women gave him some food to eat and the Buddha realised it was a mistake to seek enlightenment by torturing the body. He regained his strength and resolved to follow a 'middle path' of avoiding excesses of fasting and feasting. On one day, the Buddha decided to sit under a Buddha tree until he attained enlightenment. For several days, he sat in meditation seeking nirvana. He was tested by various forces which tried to prevent him realising the goal. However, the Buddha was successful and entered in the blissful consciousness of nirvana for several days. On returning to normal consciousness, The Buddha made the decision to spend the remainder of his life teaching others how to escape the inherent suffering of life. For many years, the Buddha travelled around India, especially around the Ganges plain and in Nepal, teaching his philosophy of liberation. His teachings were transmitted orally and not written down until many years after his death.
What do Buddists think of the three refuges Buddha Dharma Sangha?
The Buddha, was the man in India, 2'500 years ago who realized full enlightenment and thus became The Buddha. Buddha is also a quality that a Buddhist takes refuge in for his own awakening. The Dhamma, was the law of the ways things are that the Buddha taught after his awakening, and also the path he laid out for others to follow in order to reach liberation from suffering. Buddhists take refuge in Dhamma, the enlightenment, which they can attain through their own efforts, which is characterised as compassion and freedom from worldly sorrow. Dhamma, can also mean the laws of nature, the general truths on which the universe operates, such as the law of kamma, cause and effect, which exists all the time even before a Buddha reveals the entire truth in all its facets to the world of beings, human or heavenly, and which continues to govern the workings of the totality of existence, when the Buddha-Dhamma has dissapeared from the minds of beings and is lost to them. The Sangha, and going to refuge means the quality of enlightenment as embodied in individuals who have realized it at some level, be they Buddhist monks or nuns or individuals from other sects, paths or religions. The Sangha also means directly the community of Buddhist monks and nuns who have taken up robes to live the holy life regardless of whether they have had any spiritual breakthrough or not.
