Ascetic Bodhisattva Siddhartha Gautama with the Group of Five

Ascetic Bodhisattva Siddhartha Gautama with the Group of Five

I have published a new page call Siddhartha’s Early Life with a few more details that seem to be generally accepted. I could stray in to all the myth and legend but that would fill an entire website quite easily, so I have opted instead to introduce a new Sutta from the Anguttara Nikaya called Delicate.

Hopefully this and the accompanying Suttas will be enough to give you a reasonable picture of what Siddhartha went through to attain his final enlightenment. This also shows that, since Buddha was human, just like you and me, it is perfectly possible for any of us to achieve that goal too; may be not in this life time, but certainly in a future one.
