Buddha Dharma Part-1

The Buddha was born in Lumbini in the town of Kapilvastu. Which is currently located in Nepal. His mother Mahamaya dies on the 7th day of his birth.
He is then brought up by his foster mother i.e. Aunty Gautami Prajapati. He was called Gautam because of his obedience.
According to the sadhu's prophecy at the time of his birth, Siddhartha would become a great Chakravarti emperor or a pious sadhu.
According to the sadhu's prophecy, if Siddhartha understands the sorrows in the world, then a sense of asceticism will awaken in his mind. It was for this reason that Maharaj Suddhodhana created the conditions for the Buddha to suffer for the rest of his life.
At the age of 16, he is married to Princess Yashodhara of Devdhavana. And from them Buddha got a son named Rahul.
At the time of Rajyavihar see 1. old man, 2. sick person, 3. dead body, 4. monk respectively. And they are hurt by the sorrow in the world.
At the age of 29, he leaves home. This event is called "Mahabhinishkraman".
Gautam first became a disciple of Alarkalam and learned Samkhya Darshan from him. Then he got knowledge from Rudrakaramput.
He then meditated for 6 years under the Pipal tree on the banks of the river Falgu (Niranjana) and on the day of Vaishakhi Purnima the light of knowledge falls on him and he becomes a Buddha from Gautama. This place is known as Bodhgaya.
The Buddha gave his first sermon in Sarnath which is called "Dharmachakraparvatan".
The Buddha showed the way between extreme body oppression and ritual so that Buddhism is also called the "middle way".
The Buddha preached in Pali.
The Buddha rested somewhere during the 4 months of the monsoon and roamed during the winter and summer seasons.
The date of Buddha's birth, enlightenment and Nirvana is Vaishakhi Purnima which can be considered as a coincidence.
He attained Nirvana at Kushinara at the age of 80. This event is called "Mahaparinirvana".
According to Buddhism, Buddha has been quoted 5 times on earth so far. Which are respectively Krakuchananda, Kanakamuni, Kashyapa, Shakyamuni and the future Buddha Maitreya.
