All they had to do was make emu hunting legal
the father of Gautama surrounded him with worldly obsessions of desire
@Leaf me alone it still is
and then what happened
>an emu ate my baby
?
the Buddha only knew the false reality his father had conjured up
They post bounties on emus and they found out that was more effective than military action
one day he goes outside his palace with a courtier
u lot r pulling ma plonka
he sees a man who is sick and wonders what is this thing called sick
he's never known sickness?
he sees a man being cremated and wonders what is this thing called death
>dont shelter kids too much
no his father wanted Prince Gautama to inherit his kingdom he didn't want him to be a sage
how has he never known illness and death?
by forcefully trying to hide the suffering of the world he ended up making the Buddha become a renunciate because his soul knew there was such a thing as suffering and he set out to avoid it
because his father the king didn't let him leave the palace
he's never caught a cold?
no
need me some buddha genes
after that say Gautama renounced every worldly trapping because he knew there had to be some way to escape this death
he left behind his harem and kingdom to go suck leaves and meditate
and then finally he realizes the middle way
suck leaves?
yeah
like for food?
for water
oh
I wasn't being literal I told you the other say during this period he would only consume rain that fell on his tongue cuz he was doing some gay jainism shit
right
then out of nowhere from the depths the truth came
the path is not extreme it is balanced
huh
Mornin'
What's going on, fellas?
