The historical founder of Buddhism, Siddharta Gautama (c BCE) was born in a village called Lumbini into a warrior tribe called the Sakyas (from where he derived the title Sakyamuni, meaning 'Sage of the Sakyas'). According to tradition Gautama's father, Suddhodana was the king of a small principality based on the town of Kapilavastu. His mother, Queen Maya, died seven days after Gautama's birth!

4 Resolved to continue his quest, Siddharta made his way to a deer park at Isipatana. Here he sat beneath a tree meditating on death and rebirth.

In the first stage he saw each of his previous existences. In the second he surveyed the death and rebirth of all living beings and understood the law that governs the cycle of birth and death. In the third he identified the four noble truths: the universality of suffering, the cause of suffering through selfish desire, the solution to suffering and the way to overcome suffering. This final point is called the Noble Eightfold Path, this being eight steps consisting of wisdom(right views, right intention) ethics (right speech, right action, right livelihood), mental discipline (right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration), which ultimately lead to liberation from the source of suffering. ก )J (.ก+ N/& ก0 N $ - %&! *+$ -*ก *+0N/&$ $I%&ก 0I( 5 ก (Meditation) H. &*&+! กก ( ) ก-(.% #!#H&) 0!! &$')3 &$'&*+(. $I.&$H!
