King Suddhodana was at his wit's end. He had surrounded his handsome young heir with comfort and riches, love and respect, but Prince Siddhartha was still not content. One night, he abandoned his family. He could sense it but he had to know it. Exchanging his royal robes for a begging bowl, he set out for an incredible journey fueled only by his passion for truth. From his comfortable palace to ultimately the shade of a tree, Siddhartha became the Buddha the wise, the supreme king of kings.
