PREACHINGS OF MAHAVIRA
Siddhartha left his palace to meet his subjects. Despite his father's efforts to
hide from him the sick, aged and suffering, Siddhartha was said to have seen
an old man. When his charioteer Channa explained to him that all people grew
old, the prince went on further trips beyond the palace. On these he
encountered a diseased man, a corpse, and an ascetic. These depressed him.
He initially strove to overcome aging, sickness, and death by living the life of
an ascetic. Accompanied by Channa and riding his horse Kanthaka, Gautama
quit his palace for the life of a mendicant. Gautama initially went
to Rajagaha. Siddhartha and a group of five companions led
by Kaundinya had set out to take their austerities even further. They tried to
find enlightenment through deprivation of worldly goods, including food.
After nearly starving himself to death by restricting his food intake to around
a leaf or nut per day, he collapsed in a river while bathing and almost
drowned. Siddhartha was rescued by a village girl named Sujata and she gave
him some milk after which Siddhartha got back some energy. He attained a
concentrated and focused state that was blissful and refreshing.he then
attained enlightenment uder the Bodh gaya tree and came to be known as
Gautama Budhha.
