Question

Why did Siddhartha leave his family and place

Answer 1

Siddhartha was a prince and lived one of the most luxurious life possible in those days. He lived in the delusion of happiness and comfort till one day. The day he saw old age, suffering due to sickness and death, all his beliefs became a big question mark.

From that day he was not able to enjoy the luxury and comfort like before. Everything in the palace appeared as fake to him. The fear of sickness and death did not allow him to sleep. He wanted to know the truth about life and why it is impermanent. The king who was his father always feared that he may leave the royal life and become a saint as per the prediction of an astrologer after he was born.

Finally one night after his son was born he decided that if I do not leave know and search for my answers, may be I will never go. The love and responsibility of father and a king will never allow him to look for the truth of life.

That night he left for the search.
