The Brahmins concluded that the king would soon have offspring. Strange events then occurred during the pregnancy process, even though it was more than nine months pregnant, the child had not been born.
Only when entering the 10th month of gestation, the child was born. Seven days later, Siddhartha Gautama’s mother died.
According to his life history, Siddharta Gautama was originally a Hindu, following his parents. Siddhartha received a very isolating education from outsiders. To please and prevent the desire to see the outside world, his family gave him a life of luxury. But like humans in general, Siddhartha experienced boredom and dissatisfaction with the monotonous life he lived.
