After seeing adecrepit old man, an invalid, and an ascetic beggar, he learned ofsuffering and decided to embrace asceticism.

One day, meditating undera sacred fig tree, he attained perfect illumination (Bodhi). He hadbecome a Buddha. From there on he traveled and preached for 44years what was to become one of the main religions of the world. Hedied at Kusinagara at age 80.
