 | | The man who was to become the Buddha, Siddartha Gautama, was a Nepalese prince, born in 563 BC in the town of Kapilavastu, in southern Nepal. |
 | | In the year 533 BC, shocked by the inevitability of disease and death, he renounced his family life, in search of religious understanding, studying philosophy and religion so as to discover how best he could help men live their lives. |
 | | He died near Benares in 483 BC, and following his death, temples were built in his honour throughout a great part of the continent of Asia. |
