So the king made the palace so pleasant in order to make the Prince never want to leave. The King also kept him from knowing the truth of life which is sickness, old age and death. The Prince grew up in the happy surrounding with an optimistic mind. The king built three palaces, one of each season and music was always played with out ending. Life in the palace was full of joy. The Prince got the education in many subjects as the other princes usually did. His great talents have shown enormously in all aspects. He married to Princess Yasothara in the age of 19 years.

Four truths he saw was a sick person, old men, death and lasted was a monk. To witness the hidden truth awakened his feeling, asking himself, "How can I enjoy a life of pleasure when there is so much suffering in the world?".

With his intellect and good deeds in the former lives it made him to realize that no one could get away from these suffering. He wished to go out of this circle of misery and decided to become a monk.

The Middle Path

Siddhartha decided to become a monk and study from the two well known Masters. The masters also didn't know how to end the suffering. So, he tried to search the method on his own path the way the Yogis practice such as not to eat until he became very thin, only skin and bone are left. This way was considered an extremely path. He still could not find the answer. At last the angels showed him the music of the harp with three strings . First string was to set up loosely. Second string was set up tidely. Third string was set up just right. The sound that came out from the third string was very beautiful melody. With this incident made him realize the way of the middle path . He started eating normally and made Meditation to find out the truth of life in his own mind.
