A) Shakyamuni Buddha founded Buddhism in India around the 6th century. He was born a prince but left his life of luxury to search for the cause of suffering and how to overcome it. After years of study and meditation, he became enlightened and taught his followers how to

achieve the same state.
B) The Vulture Peak, was the Buddha’s favorite retreat in Rajagaha and the scene for many of his discourses. This place got its name because vultures used to perch on some of the peak’s rocks. The several rock shelters around the Gijjhakuta, its fine view across the valley, and its peaceful environment made it the perfect place for meditation.understanding, insight
enlightenment (called bodhi in Indian Buddhism, or satori in Zen Buddhism) is when a Buddhist finds the truth about life and stops being reborn because they have reached Nirvana.
Buddhists believe a person can become enlightened by following the Middle Way; the Middle Way is not too extreme in either way of living, neither an extremely luxurious life of ease and enjoyment nor an extremely harsh life on living on the minimum of the most basic necessities.
