The Buddha Siddhattha Gotama was a rich young prince until he learned that his life of pleasure was nothing. He then became an ascetic until he learned that his life of denial was nothing. He learned that the way to Nirvana was to deny the world and live a life of selflessness and good morality (Maynes, 2019). (jan 1, 490 BC – dec 31, 410 BC)
