He had few possessions, slept in basic shelters, and ate simple food. But this simple existence did not develop spiritual understanding. ### Simple life ![Simple life](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-07/ae7be92e-5af5-4806-afb6-615d155a7f03/poverty-bread.jpg) - Siddhartha decided he must leave the palace to live a more spiritual life. - He wanted to try to discover a way to prevent suffering. - For six years he lived a life with no possessions and he surrounded himself with holy men who gave him advice. - To try and answer his questions about suffering, he fasted and endured pain. But he was disappointed, and no answers came to him. ### A new approach ![A new approach](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2021-07/372b0837-1834-4ab7-a481-63ce7b60b745/natalie-thornley-iNp_s5oLVFo-unsplash.jpg) - Siddhartha then tried a new approach by focusing his mind on big questions. - He sat alone under a Bodhi tree and meditated for several days. - Siddartha reflected on his early life and his experiences. - He tried to purify his mind so that there were no distracting thoughts or temptations. ### Enlightenment ![Enlightenment](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/9fa64482-9955-4991-afc3-101c673f8ee0/meditation-monk-buddhism-.jpg) - Finally, the answers he sought about suffering and existence began to come to him. - We call this moment his enlightenment. The point when he suddenly saw the truth and understood. - From that point onward, Siddhartha became known as the Buddha – the enlightened one. ### The Middle Way ![The Middle Way](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2021-07/b6ed0d1a-3f20-415b-8ab8-9f8172a29f3f/elena-mozhvilo-j06gLuKK0GM-unsplash.jpg) - One very important thing that the Buddha learned was the Middle Way. - This means that it is best to avoid extremes. - One example is that people should not live lives that are too comfortable, such as the one he led in the palace. - But there is also no value in giving up basic comforts, as he did for a time with the holy men. ### Lessons from the Middle Way ![Lessons from the Middle Way](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/courseImages/physics/AQA%20New%20Modules/5.1.2/scale-min.jpg) - Life lived between these two extremes is more likely to create inner peace. - The Buddha taught that it is best to avoid being fixed in our ways. - It is better to remain open minded, and willing to see things from different points of view. ## Test yourself on Asceticism, Enlightenment & The Middle Way - What is a lesson from The Middle Way?
