Why did prince Siddhartha become a monk?

Siddhartha was a formidable dice player who played for high stakes.          He was often reckless and gambled huge amounts of money.          He became anxious, depressed; he lost all patience with people.          He was downright mean.  His appearance became old and ugly.           He wore himself out.  He hit rock bottom. He needed a rebirth.          That is what Hinduism calls Samsara. Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

GAUTAMA Buddha (563 B.C. – 483 B.C.) began life as a prince named Siddhartha Gautama, in northern India. At twelve, he was sent away for schooling in the Hindu sacred scriptures and four years later he returned home to marry a princess. They had a son and lived for ten years as befitted royalty. At about the age of twenty-five, the Prince, heretofore shielded from the sufferings of the world, while out hunting chanced upon a sick man, then an aged man, then a funeral procession, and finally a monk begging for alms. These sights so moved him that he at once went out into the world to seek enlightenment concerning the sorrows he had witnessed. He wandered for seven years and finally sat down under a peepal tree, where he vowed to stay until enlightenment came. Enlightened after seven days, he renamed the tree the Bodhi Tree (Tree of Wisdom) and began to teach and to share his new understandings. At that point he became known as the Buddha (the Awakened or the Enlightened). The Buddha preached his first sermon at the city of Benares, most holy of the dipping places on the River Ganges; that sermon has been preserved and is given here. It reflects the Buddha’s wisdom about one inscrutable kind of suffering.QUESTION 14bookmark_borderSelect the correct answerAbout whom this passage is describing?radio_button_uncheckedGautam Buddharadio_button_uncheckedGautam Buddha's sonradio_button_uncheckedGautam Buddha's wiferadio_button_uncheckedNone of the above
