The Buddha was formerly a king to be named Siddhartha, one day he realized he had never seen the kingdom he was going to rule, he decided to go out, when he went out he saw the four passing sights. he decided that he did not know enough about life in general to become a king so instead he went out and became a aesthetic monk for many years. One day he heard a musician on the river teaching, he said if the string is to tight it will snap, but if it is too loose that it will not make a sound. Siddhartha then realized that he had gone to the two extremes and neither were correct, he then meditated for 49 days under a large bo tree where he came up with the eightfold path and became enlightened, at that o=point he turned from Siddhartha to the Buddha
