=Buddha and Human Nature=

Introduction to Buddha
Siddartha Guatama was born an Indian Prince during the 6th century BC. At a young age he left his home in search of enlightenment. He came to support a path called the “Middle Way” and finally achieved enlightenment and was known as “the Buddha”, or “awakened one”.



Proving that he was more concerned about himself and his placement in the world
 * Family Life demonstrates human nature:**
 * At the age of 29 Buddha became unhappy by the way he lived. He left his wife and child to seek enlightenment.
 * Not only did he leave his wife and son, but lost touch with his father and left him with hurt feelings after they had gotten in an argument.

This shows a certain amount of conceit on his part regarding his fellow man.
 * Buddha's disbelief in others demonstrates the human quality of conceit:**
 * Early after attaining enlightenment while teaching his select pupils one suggested that he travel and teach the masses. He was reluctant to do so as he felt that the average man would not understand nor grasp the full meaning of his teachings.
 * In his early life felt himself superior to others
