The Legend of the Buddha


I found this site about the Buddha's life. I read through it all. The story on the site was a little different than what we learned in class. For example, in the story on this site, Siddhattha's mother dies. Also, this site uses his Sanskrit name Siddhartha and teacher called him Siddhatha. Otherwise, most of the story was the same.








This site was a bit longer, so I didn't have time to read it all. But I did click through most of it. It was closer to the story in class. I learned more about the Buddha's life, including the part of the story we haven't talked about yet in class, after his enlightenment and the beginning of Buddhism as a teaching.

Caption2: My site had no pictures so I got this photo from Yahoo images. It is of the Buddha Hotei
