Detailed explanation-2: -Before he became known as the Buddha, he was a young prince named Siddhartha Gautama (si-DAHR-tuh GOW-tuh-muh). Prince Siddhartha grew up surrounded by wealth in the pal-aces of his father. At the age of 29, Siddhartha left his royal life to go in search of spiritual peace.
