Detailed explanation-1: -The Buddha’s ascetic life The Buddha said that he would do so in order to attempt to achieve supreme knowledge. He sat under a bodhi tree and he slowly starved and grew exhausted. This period of self-denial meant he deprived himself of food, shelter and clothes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Siddhartha became an ascetic, which means he lived a simple life with no possessions and refused to do anything that would give him pleasure. He also tried to be disciplined in meditating to try to understand suffering. He fasted for long periods of time and this caused him to suffer even more.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ascetic told him he was pursuing the path of spiritual reflection and detachment, recognizing the world and its trappings as illusion, and was therefore unconcerned with loss as he had already given everything away.
