What did prince siddartha do to become the budda?

Here's the whole story of how he became the Buddha One night, while Siddhartha's mother, Queen Maya, was pregnant with Siddhartha, she had a dream. (sorry, I don't know what the dream was, you'll have to search elsewhere for that info. ) Queen Maya went to ask the holy men what her dream meant.

They said that it meant her son-to-be-born, Siddhartha, could become the ruler of the universe if he stayed in the royal life, but if he left the royal life, he would become the Buddha. Siddhartha's father wanted him to become the ruler of the world, so he gave Siddhartha the best of everything. The best education, food, clothes, anything.

When Siddhartha was 16 (I think that's the right age. ) he got married, and at age 29 (I'm pretty sure that's the right age. Sorry about this, but I am 98% sure that I have the ages right.) he had a son.

During all this time, Siddhartha hadn't been outside the palace walls, and when he was married and had a son, Siddhartha's father decided that he was now too attached to the royal life to leave, so he let him outside the palace walls. On three of his trips outside the palace, Siddhartha saw three kinds of suffering. On the first trip he saw an old man.

On the second trip, he saw a sick man, and on the third trip he saw a dead man. Then, on his fourth trip he saw an ascetic.(which is a very peaceful person.) Siddhartha was impressed with how peaceful the ascetic was, so he decided to become an ascetic, too. Siddhartha gave up all his riches, all his fancy clothes, all his good food, and he shaved his head.

He fasted for a very long time, and did everything the asectics did, but he never reached enlightenment, or nirvana, (which is the extreme state of happiness and peace.) and he realized that he was not happy being an ascetic, so he decided to take the middle path. Which was the cross between being an extremely poor asctic, and being a rich prince.(kind of like out middle class today. ) Then Siddhartha went to meditate under the Buddhi tree, and he meditated for forty days without food, and while he was meditating, he reached nirvana and he became the Buddha So, that's how he became the Buddha, and I'm sorry if I forgot some detail, but I did get the major parts.It's been a while since I studied Buddhism.

Well, I hope that my answer was satisfying.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
