Buddha

hi all! i think mine is the last. Sorry about this. I don't have the internet connection at my home, so i'm posting from my aunt's home. I'd like to tell you that why I am writing about Buddha. 1st I'm a religious person, I pray with Buddha , 2nd now we have a lesson named philosophy, Buddhism is a part of the Indian philosophy. May be it can help a little to our philosophy knowledge,.

Buddha means awakened one, who has awakened from the sleep of ignorance and sees things as they really are.
The 1st Buddha who is the founder of the Buddhist religion, is called Buddha Shakyamuni (Mongolians called Shagjamuni) . He was born in 624 BC in Nepal as a royal prince. The King gave the name ‘Siddhartha’ to his young prince with full wishes.
In fact, he knew about sixty four different languages with their alphabets and also was very good at maths, sports, arts ..etc.
Sometimes young prince would go into the capital city to see how the people lived. During these visits, he saw many old, sick, poor people and a corpse. It left a deep impression to his mind. After that, he always thought about this and he resolved to leave the palace. Then he requested from his parents: ‘I wish to retire to a peaceful place in the forest where I can engage in deep deep meditation and quickly attain full enlightenment.
But the king didn’t accept it. So he escaped from the palace.
Then he found suitable place for meditation. It was sitting under the Bodhi tree.
Siddhartha had been concentrated for many years with many disturbing things such as demons, people who didn’t accept him. .
Finally he reached the limit of mind concentration he became a Buddha, a fully enlightened being.
