the spread of the buddhism

buddhism was founded in india around the 16th century bc. it is said that the founder was sakyamuni. sskyua was the name of the clan to which his family belonged. sakyamuni was a prince and was brought up in luxury. in his 20s, he became discontented with the world. every day he had to face with sights of sickness, death and old age since the body was inescapably involved with disease, decrepitude and death. around the age of 30 he made his break from the material world and plunged off in search of enlightenment.

sakyamuni began by studying hindu philosophy and yoga. then he joined a band of ascetics and tried to break the power of his body by inflicting severe austerities on himself. however, no matter how he held his breath until his head burst and starved his body until his ribs jutted out, he failed to enlighten himself. finally sakyamuni followed the principle of the middle way in which he would live between the extremities of asceticism on one hand and indulgence on the other. as the story goes, he devoted the final phase of his search for enlightenment to meditation and mystic concentration. one evening he sat beneath a fig tree, slipped into a deep meditation and achieved enlightenment from his mystic concentration.

sakyamuni founded an order of monks and for the next 45 years or so peached his ideas around 480 bc. sakyamuni teaches that all life is suffering. everyone is subjected to the trauma of birth, to sickness, decrepitude and death. real happiness cant be achieved until suffering is overcome. the cause of unhappiness is desires,specifically the desire of the body and the desire personal fulfillment. in order to overcome the desirs and achieve happiness, it requires the following eight-fold path.
