The vast majority of Tibetans use ghau at home and carry it on their travels. They keep it on a real altar at home. When traveling, it is attached to the back belt.

SIDDARTHA GAUTAMA

Siddhartha Gautama (better known as the Buddha, circa 563-483 BCE) was, according to legend, a Hindu prince who renounced his position and wealth to seek enlightenment as a spiritual ascetic, who achieved his goal, and who , by preaching his way to others, founded Buddhism in India in the 6th-5th centuries BCE.

The events of his life are largely legendary, however he is considered a real historical figure and a young contemporary of Mahavira (also known as Vardhamana, circa 599-527 BCE) who established the principles of Jainism shortly before the time of Siddhartha . According to Buddhist texts, a prophecy was given at Siddhartha's birth that he would become either a mighty king or a great spiritual master.

His father, fearing that he would become the second if exposed to the suffering of the world, shielded him from seeing and experiencing anything unpleasant or upsetting to him for the first 29 years of his life. life. One day (for a few days) he escaped his father's measures and saw what Buddhists call the Four Signs: An old man A sick man A dead man A religious ascetic Through these signs he realized that he too could fall ill, grow old, die and lose everything he loved. He understood that the life he led guaranteed that he would suffer, and moreover, that all of life was essentially defined by the suffering of desire or loss. He therefore followed the example of the religious ascetic, and tried different teachers and disciplines.

He eventually attained enlightenment on his own and became known as Buddha ("the Awakening" or "Lightning"). Then he preached his "Middle Way" of detachment from sense objects and renouncing ignorance and illusion through his Four Noble Truths, the Wheel of Becoming and the Eightfold Path to Enlightenment. After his death, his followers preserved and developed his teachings until they were spread from India to other countries by King Maurya Ashoka the Great (reigned 268-232 BCE). From the time of Ashoka, Buddhism continued to flourish and today it is one of the major religions of the world.
