6.5.5 Know the life & moral teachings of Buddha & how Buddhism spread in India, Ceylon, & Central Asia.
When Siddhartha Gautama was born, his father found out he was gonna be holy. Because of that, his father didn't let him see the world outside of the castle until he was in his late 20's. When he went outside, he saw how people suffered allot & he wanted to do something about it. As a result he started to starve himself. When he noticed that that didn't work out, he started to meditate under a fig tree until he found the answer. In his meditation he saw that you have to believe in the Eightfold Path. He also believed in ahimsa which means non violence.
