The Life Of Gautama Buddha

JAKARTA - In celebration of Vesak Day, the name Gautama Buddha echoes everywhere. For Buddhists, Gautama Buddha is not only a religious teacher, but also a role model.

Initially he was born as a crown prince of King Suddhodana, leader of the Shakya community in southern Nepal and queen Mahāmāyā Dewi by the name of Siddharta Gautama. Since he was born in Lumbini Park, Nepal, he was immediately able to walk 7 steps and left a lotus flower on all seven of his footprints.

A hermit had also predicted that one day he would meditate and become a Buddha alias achieve perfect enlightenment, but this was not wanted by his father because he needed a successor to the throne so the king tried to prevent Prince Siddharta from seeing the old, the sick, the dead, and ascetic. Many servants took care of him so that he could enjoy worldly life.
