I was born a prince named Siddhartha Gotama in a kingdom in India. My father wanted to protect me from the outside world because he was afraid I would leave the kingdom. And that is indeed exactly what I did. I once saw what life was like outside my palais and realized that I could no longer live there while there were people suffering all around me. I left my father and went searching for enlightenment. I taught myself how to live without worldly needs or desires. Eventually I reached enlightenment and started to teach others how to reach enlightenment as well. I once met a young lad named Siddhartha who told me that he appreciated my teachings but he wanted to find his path on his own just as I had. He had this arrogant nature about him but I thought that he was determined. I never saw him again but his best friend joined my followers in finding enlightenment through my teachings. I know that Siddhartha was on the right track though because that was exactly how i reached enlightenment and was awakened.
