| Having lived a life of luxury in Kapilavatthu, Sidhattha had four crucial encounters, with an old man, a sick man, a corpse, and a recluse. Shaken by these encounters, he resolved to leave his palace and seek the cause of suffering. He gazed silently on his wife and infant son, Rahula, before he left his home.
