Answer:
The original name of the Buddha was Siddhartha Gautama.
Siddhartha was sent away to school to study the sacred Hindu scriptures.
At the age of twenty-five, he saw a sickman, an aged man, a funeral procession and a monk begging.
Siddhartha got enlightened under a peepal tree after seven days.
The Buddha got wisdom under the tree. So it was renamed ‘Bodhi tree’.
Gotami’s son had died. She wanted him to live again.
She learnt that the fate of men is just like the city lights that flickered and extinguished again and again.
The people of Benares were being addressed by the Buddha.
Buddha said that all mortals have to die.
Death is inevitable.
The life and death are being seen and compared with the ripe fruits which have to fall.
