here is your ANSWER



The father didn't. He wanted him to inherit his place and even expected to build a larger kingdom.

Buddha left because once he thought the perfect world was not perfect.

His father hid old age, sickness and death from his sight and filled his life with laughter and happiness, youth and wealth especially because of the prophecy that his son might abandon the kingdom. (It was the time before if you believe in God, you will be given eternal life and if not, you will be put in hell, you will be resurrected one day religion was not spread yet. Even though, he was surrounded by water God, tree God, people offering many things to many gods according to their belief, he didn't buy any of those either.)

The crown prince Siddhartha found the tip of the iceberg which was old age, sickness and death and wondering why this happened, how one could overcome those etc.

Even he stayed, the death would overcome one day and separated the beloved things and people. Therefore, to seek something before his death, he left the palace and family.

Because of his decision, he was able to save not only himself and his family but also many people, celestials and Brahman.

Ok…. you don't need to believe in celestial and Brahman parts.

Save doesn’t mean he granted something because someone worshipped him. Saved here means Buddha showed and taught and explained how to overcome those. Buddhism is an individual path and one enlightenment doesn't affect another person. When your roommate studies, your roommate will pass the test. Not you. Your parents are doctors doesn't mean you will automatically become a doctor.

Buddha’s father never allowed him to leave his kingdom. He left because he found out the imperfections and needed to understand and overccome those.

hope you understand

He set about trying to find the ‘truth’ by performing penances and austerities, as this was the conventional wisdom at the time.

Being quite strong-willed, he pushed his body pretty close to the point of death without finding what he was seeking.

His realization was that he had actually always had everything he had been searching for when he remembered a moment of peace and clarity sitting as a child in his father’s garden.

He then began teaching lessons to help others to know this awakened state through a series of practices which mirrored the condition which he resided in and which had nothing whatsoever to do with his own process.

I’m not trying to be flip; I’m trying to put my answer into a direct and immediate context without the millennia of formalized structure.

I think one of his most important teachings is to always feel the permission, and even necessity, of making any practices and techniques you incorporate into your life your own. No one has ever achieved enlightenment by blindly and rigidly following another’s path. Your path is yours alone. Awakening is the most idiosyncratic thing there is.
