Prince Siddhartha was born into a very illustrious family. He was kind and clever and also very rich. He had never seen the suffering. One evening when he was taking a walk, he came across an old man on the street. Then he saw a man stricken with a disease and then a dead body. He was horrified as he had never seen anyone unhappy or in pain. The key to happiness is to be good and do good things. These teachings of the Buddha are very popular.
