Reading Notes: The Life of Buddha, Part A

This week, I find myself interested in Buddhism culture, therefore, i choose to read The Life of Buddha, written by Andre Ferdinand Herold. This reading unit tells a story of  how Siddhartha awaken as a Buddha.
In Maya's dream, Maya, a wife of King Suddhodana, saw a six tusks elephant entered her womb, gave a signal of her pregnant. And months passed, Prince Siddhartha was born in a beautiful day under a special tree.
Growth up, Prince Siddhartha appears to have more omnipotence. He first realized life contains much of sufferings and painful. He saw farmers who work really hard under the burning hot weather in Siddhartha's First Meditation. He saw among those richest, youngest, strongest people in the city a poorest,weakness and oldest man in his first encounter. In the next two more encounters, the Price saw a sickness man who was so desperate, and latter he also saw a corpse.
He decided he should do something to bring people out of the miserable.
