When Prince Siddhartha goes on a ride through the city, he sees an old man, a sick person, a dead body and an ascetic trying to find the cause of human suffering.
These four sights change his life, leading to his renunciation of the world and the eventual birth of Buddhism. Read about the Buddha's life, youth and enlightenment in this collection of beautiful stories.
