The
Buddha
was born
Siddhartha
Gautama
in the city of
Lumbini
(
Nepal
)
He saw
four
sights
:
an
old
man
a
sick
man
a
corpse
and a
holy man
This made him
realise
that
old age
and
death
were
inescapable
and led to him
permanently
leaving the
palace
on a
search
for
enlightenment.
The symbol of
Buddhism
is
a
wheel
with
eight spokes
The
circle
reminds
Buddhists
of
belief
in
rebirth.
They
believe
that
the
cycle
of
birth
,
death
and
rebirth
is
endless.
This is called
samsara.
The only way out of
samsara
is by
achieving
nirvana
or
enlightenment.
The
eight spokes
of the
wheel represent
the
eightfold
path.
Eight
guidelines
the
Buddha
gave his
followers
to
live
by.
