SIDDHARTHA’S EYES ARE OPENED

One day, Prince Siddhartha expressed the desire to leave his lush surroundings and ride out among his people.

He was profoundly shaken by the misery, destitution. disease, and excruciating pain with which his people were constantly afflicted.

Retiring to his room to ponder over what he had seen, he remained there for several days, deaf to the supplication of those who pleaded with him to come forth. It seemed to Siddhartha that his life had been redolent with decadence, and he was determined to make amends.
