Before there was Buddha there was a young prince named Siddhartha. He grew up with only luxury. Based of a prophecy that was told Siddhartha would become a great king or a holy teacher. Siddhartha made the decision to seek enlightenment and to help others achieve what he did, wanting them to achieve it in the less amount of years it took him to. Buddha fit within the thinking of his time period because he was an ordinary person who wanted to seek enlightenment which there call nirvana. Based on the movie “The Buddha” Siddhartha for many years along with others sought out meditation and self- mortification to seek enlightenment. The only difference would be that he found enlightenment another way with out harming and torturing the body.
