उत्तर
Gautam Buddha, who started his journey as a prince, was sent away for formal schooling at the age of twelve. Four years later, he returned with an education in Hindu sacred scriptures to marry a princess. They lived happily together for ten long years and even had a son, but once on his journey, he came across a sick man, a middle-aged man, a funeral procession, and a monk begging for alms. Disturbed by the sufferings of the world, he, at the age of twenty-five, left his home and went in search of enlightenment. He wandered for seven years and finally sat under a Peepal tree. Seven days later, he attained enlightenment and named the tree the Bodhi Tree (Tree of Wisdom). Thereafter, he became Buddha and started spreading enlightenment.
