Selfishness and wanting things
Siddhartha saw old age, sickness and death!
Buddhist believe so they don't believe in material things and if one wants they will try to get more and more and more and cause suffering to get it. like a war over territory.
Grasping for and clinging to things that we cannot possess.a desire for money and happinesscraving.
he was not content with the Caste System and discrimination caused by it. he also did not like the idea of worshipping idols when there are people suffering and they need help. this caused him to leave Hinduism.
Wrong way 'round! The Four Noble Truths make you aware that you are suffering, that this suffering is caused by wanting things that in the long run don't matter, tells you can get away from the suffering and gives you a way of doing just that.
To end suffering you end greed.Answer:Buddha basically stated that all desire (with the exception of the desire to become enlightened) was negative and lead to suffering. A lot of misunderstading comes from the use of the English terms desire and suffering in discussions of Buddhism. Desire means any consideration to pursue something beyond your physical needs or at the cost of someone elses physical nneds. Suffering is as aptly stated as being "unsatisfactoriness" a feeling that things should not be (in some not well deined way) what they presently are.
The Four Noble Truths indicate that suffering is caused by desire. Desire in this case is a feeling of needing of things beyond beyond our actual needs - money, power, food etc.
Siddhartha Guatama. The day before his mother (the queen) was pregnant she went to a "counselor" the "counselor" said that when Siddharha sees the 3 ways of life he will not take the throne and go to be a Buddhist. When his dad heard this he got furious he wanted Siddhartha to be the next king not a stupid Buddhist. So he kept Siddhartha and his wife and new children in the castle when he was king. One day Siddhartha wanted to go out. He saw the 3 ways of life. 1. Sickness. 2. Injury's. 3. Death. He never wanted to do the 3 things and go threw suffering so he came up with Buddhism. Siddhartha Guatama is the founder of Buddhism.
Siddhartha was upset after seeing an old man, a sick person, and a corpse during his excursion outside the palace because these encounters exposed him to the harsh realities of life, which he had been sheltered from. Each sight confronted him with the inevitability of aging, suffering, and death, prompting a profound existential crisis. This realization ignited his desire to seek enlightenment and understand the nature of suffering, ultimately leading him to leave his royal life in pursuit of spiritual awakening.
I think it was because Siddhartha taught Govinda something he never thought of before. Govinda was a Monk who spent his whole life meditating and attempting to understand the nature of being, he believes nirvana awaits at the end of a journey. Siddhartha says that understanding comes from loving things for what they are. He speaks of a stone, saying that we respect the stone because it will be many things, but Siddhartha is saying that he loves the stone because it has been so many things already, and it will always be/is everything. Thusly the stone is the same as us. Govinda has always been as Siddhartha says a "seeker" he has spent his life in contemplation trying to reach a goal and Siddhartha teaches him that the achievement is in understanding and appreciating the moment, or the rock. Nirvana is within the self, not somewhere else. All things are good because all things are each other. Maybe.
Siddhartha learns about the importance of patience, understanding, and connecting with nature from the ferryman. Through their interactions, the ferryman helps Siddhartha gain insights into life, death, and the interconnectedness of all things. Ultimately, the ferryman guides Siddhartha towards achieving enlightenment and inner peace.
