The Awakening of the Buddha
This chapter explores the transformative journey of Siddhartha Gautama, detailing his sheltered life in a palace and the pivotal encounters that exposed him to suffering. As he contemplates the nature of existence, he transitions from hedonism to seeking enlightenment, ultimately discovering the roots of suffering and the concept of 'dukkha.'
