3.  Who is the Buddha ?

The Buddha's name was Siddartha.

About 2600 years ago, he was born as a prince in kapilavastu, Northern India.

He was a thoughtful prince. 

He was curiose about many things.

'Why are people born and die?'

'Why do  people get sick?'

'Why do  people hate ,argue and fight with each other?'

'Why are people not satisfied and greedy?'

He decided to leave home to find answers.

One day,  Siddartha took off his princely clothes and left his  comfortable home behind to become a monk.

He visited many teachers  and stayed for some time to practice with them.

However, he didn't get answers to his important questoins. 

Finally, Siddharta sat and meditated under the Bodhi tree near the Himalya mountains.

 Mara, the king of evil gods, tempted and bothered him but he resisted bravely.

 He eventually attained enlightenment and become the Buddha.

The word,'Buddha' means 'being a happy person attaining enlightment'. 

This is why the Buddha is always smiling peacefully.
