Siddhartha Gautama
Siddhartha was born into a kingdom around 563 B.C. His father made sure he was surrounded by all he wanted.
Siddhartha was in the royal gardens when he saw a man that had no idea if he was going to be able to find a meal, even though, he was peaceful. This man was a monk.
Siddhartha’s founding lead to the creation of the Four Noble Truths, the beginning of a new religion, Buddhism.

The Middle Way
The Middle Way was a way of life the Budda created that wasn’t too easy nor too hard. It was in the “middle”.
The Budda described “The Middle Way” like keeping a stringed instrument tuned, it can’t be too tight or too loose, it has to be just right.
