The Four Sights- Buddha wanted to see the world so left the palace grounds and travelled into town. He saw four sights: An old man, a sick man, a corpse and a holy man. The first three sights opened Buddhas eyes to a whole new world that he had never seen, A world with suffering. In the fourth sight, he saw his destiny. The sights were a life changing experience for the Buddha. He learnt that there is suffering in the world and this made him want to find a way to overcome dukkha and reach enlightenment. He was inspired by the holy man's serenity. Enlightenment - Buddha realised that he should not go to extremes (e.g. starvation) but should adopt a happy medium or middle path. He then began to eat and live in moderation. Buddha was still spiritually hungry. He wanted spiritual food and self- realisation. It was underneath the shadow of a large tree that his spiritual hunger was fulfilled. This tree is now known as the Bodhi tree. He sat in a meditative mood underneath the tree from morning to sunset, with determination 'Let me die. Let my body perish. Let my flesh dry up. I will not get up from this seat till i get full illumination'. He plunged himself into deep meditation. It was through this practice that he attained Nirvana (liberation from a cycle of rebirth). His face shone too- he was full of knowledge. He had achieved enlightenment (full understanding of way things are in life.
