The document summarizes the life story of Buddha. It describes his birth in Lumbini Garden to Queen Maha Maya and King Suddhodana as Prince Siddhartha. As a young man, he was sheltered from suffering but later witnessed an old man, a sick man, and a corpse, which troubled him. He left the palace to seek enlightenment and practiced asceticism for years before achieving enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. Buddha then spent the rest of his life teaching the Dharma until his death at age 80.
