Detailed explanation-1: -According to these accounts, at the birth of Prince Siddhārtha Gautama, the Buddha-to-be, Brahmin priests predicted that he would either become a world teacher or a world ruler.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eventually he was so weak that he ate some rice, and this made him realise that he still didn’t understand how to get rid of suffering. He realised that the way to live was the Middle Way between luxury and poverty. Siddhartha continued to meditate over time and eventually became enlightened .
Detailed explanation-3: -In Siddhartha, Siddhartha learns that enlightenment cannot be reached through teachers because it cannot be taught-enlightenment comes from within. Siddhartha begins looking for enlightenment initially by looking for external guidance from organized religion in the form of Brahmins, Samanas, and Buddhists.
