The document summarizes the key events in the life of Buddha. It describes that Queen Maya had a prophetic dream of a white elephant entering her, and she later gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama. As he grew up, Siddhartha was shielded from the suffering of the world but after seeing an old man, sick man, and dead man on trips outside the palace, he realized aging, sickness, and death were inevitable. He then left his wife and child to pursue spiritual enlightenment. After years of meditation and asceticism, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree about the nature of suffering and how to be freed from it. He spent the rest of his life teaching
