I still have to do a lecture on his actual teachings from the oldest texts. These teachings are remarkably clear and assume almost no supernatural insights. Buddhism became much more fantasical in later centuries. The old stuff is truly impressive from psychological perspective
Hello, Stephan, do you know what explanation was given to Siddhartha in his childhood or adolescence about the disappearance (death) of his mother, if so? Or he had a foster mother and * though all the time * she was his biological mother, until he unshielded himself from his father's bubble? I think that such a situation have various logical implications, because if he was informed about that, one logical consequence should be ask to his family "what death is", and so on... Did his father, family and court shielded him from the death of Maya too?
Maya is not mentioned much in the earliest biography. We read she died out of happiness when realizing the power of her son and then his aunt raised him as though he was her own son. Maya's name is not mentioned after this point.
@@Stephans_History_of_the_World So, it's plausible to assume that the boy was not aware of the 'scene exit' (death) of his biological mother, hence not having a reason for questioning what death is. It must had been hard to his father, family and court to shield him from that questioning, once many of we lose friends, relatives and other near people during the three first decades of our lives. Thank you
🙏🇳🇵Namo Buddha, Sadhu Sadhu. It is a fact that Sudhodana tried his best to hide the sufferings of the outside world . Siddhartha was not isolated in the Palace. There were a whole lot of people in the palace . Devdutt, his cousin, was a violent and arrogant prince and his parents wanted to make Him the king. Siddhartha was exposed to jealousy, violence, greed, hatered , there were a whole lot of people who influenced him into suffering . Yoshodhara was his childhood companion . Devdutt was always against him. He was shaken up well within the palace itself. Your story is enchanting but lacks logic about his life in the palace.

Thanks! His cousin is not mentioned in the oldest biography. It could be from a later tradition.
And thanks for mixing in a good compliment with your criticism. If everyone on the internet communicated like this, it would be a way better place 🙏
