Biography of Sakyamuni Buddha

 

Sometime later, while the prince was riding in the garden, he saw a man in a yellow robe. He noticed that the man was very peaceful and happy. Channa explained to him that he was a monk. He left his family and gave up his desire for pleasures to find freedom from worldly suffering. Prince Siddhattha felt inspired by the monk to also leave home. On the same day, his wife gave birth to a lovely boy. But Siddhattha was not very happy, because he wanted to become a monk.
