Married and had a son. One day Gautama ventured out of his palace, he saw three definite aspects of life each for the first time, he saw an old man, a sick man, a corpse. This scene shook him to the core, he perceived that these are inevitable fates of humans, no one can avoid. And then he saw a holy monk walking with peace and serenity in his face. All these experiences made him find a way to overcome the definite universal suffering. He left the luxury and royal life and journey to the spiritual quest at  29.

For the next six long years, he followed many ascetic, extreme self-denial, self-deprivation, and self-mortification, even if following the extreme asceticism he couldn’t find the answer to his quest. So he abandoned the extremes life nor return to the luxury life instead and discover the middle way, (like neither luxury nor poverty). He sat beneath a Bodhi tree, in deep meditation, and finally achieved enlightenment. Then on he is known as the Buddha. And spent the rest of his life teaching others about his discovery and path to achieve it. He gave his first sermon at Sarnath.
