At twelve ,he was sent away for schooling in the Hindu Sacred Scriptures and for 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 shielding 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 became a beggar and went out in to the world to seek enlightenment concerning the sorrows he had witnessed. He wandered for seven years and finally sat down under a fig tree, where he vowed to stay until enlightenment came. Enlightened after seven days he renamed the tree the Bo Tree (Tree of wisdom) and began to teach and to share his new understandings .The Buddha preached his first sermon at the city of Benares, most holy of the dipping places on the River Ganges.
