Because this was the recommended way for spiritual people at the time. He later decided that starving himself did not lead to the end of suffering, and so he came up with "The Middle Way", avoiding the two extremes of luxury and self-mortification.
I don´t the answer, to find info you should read history text book. or maybe asked your teacher mr. paivanas
It's another way of saying, "My child, you have come up with a great idea."
Siddhartha Gautama, better known as Buddha, taught the Middle Way. This is the Buddhist belief in a balance between hedonism and total asceticism.
Siddhartha has no problem with vedic religion he has problem with suffering life, he want to make his life without pain and without sorrow, happiness is not our aim of life . good and bad go hand to hand, he want to free from this cycle
Not most. Most oil comes from the Middle East.
There are many satilites in outer space that where sent off so it and we can see the milky way.
Buddhism IS the middle path. When it was started, Siddhartha only saw extremes around him - extreme indulgence or extreme restraint. He didn't think extreme indulgence was the way to end suffering, and when he tried extreme restraint he became so thin from not eating that his mind couldn't function properly. So he started a new way of moderation, and became The Buddha.
Code of Chivalry- The idea comes from the stories of king Arthur and his chivalric knights. Chivalry is basiclly a way of behaving, a way of life, wich was glorified in king arthur tales.
The middle way is: your not rich or poor your in the middle. (:
Siddhartha spent several years fasting and practicing deep meditation as a form of asceticism. He believed that by renouncing the pleasures of the body, he could achieve spiritual enlightenment. However, Siddhartha eventually realized that extreme asceticism was not the path to enlightenment and shifted to a middle way, which balanced self-discipline with self-care.
Not really. The idea of "freedom" and "rights" is a fairly new one and doesn't come about until the 17th century. The people of the middle ages saw life and power in a different way than we do today. There was the king and his nobles, the Church at the top and then there was everyone else. At the very bottom was the serf or slave. The thing is that if you don't have the concepts of freedom or "better work" you can't know of these things. This takes thinking in a different way and in the middle ages that would have been radical thinking.
