This documentary traces the journey of Siddhartha Gautama from his privileged birth in the ancient kingdom of Kapilavastu to his enlightenment and transformation into the Buddha. The narrative begins with Siddhartha's early life of luxury, shielded from the harsh realities of the world. At 29, his encounters with an old man, a sick person, a corpse, and an ascetic profoundly impact him, prompting him to renounce his royal life in search of a solution to human suffering.
Siddhartha's initial ascetic practices prove futile, leading him to adopt the Middle Way of moderation. Under a Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, after 49 days of meditation, he attains enlightenment, becoming the Buddha. He then delivers his first sermon at Deer Park, presenting the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, which guide individuals toward ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom.
For 45 years, Buddha spreads his teachings across India, emphasizing compassion, mindfulness, and the impermanence of life. At 80, he attains Parinirvana, leaving a legacy of profound wisdom. The documentary concludes by highlighting Buddha's enduring influence on millions worldwide, with his teachings continuing to inspire a path of peace, wisdom, and compassion
