passage 1: he realized that all life was filled with physical and mental suffering. every living being must contend with illness, loss, and eventually grow old and die. this was a distressing revelation for siddhartha.
at the age 29, siddhartha abandoned his family and his worldly possessions and joined the ascetics, seeking a release from suffering. siddhartha planned to live in a cave, and mediate all day to attain enlightenment, or the end of suffering.
after six years of self-deprivation, he was no closer to learning the truth. then a woman came to him and offered him a bowl of sweet rice. siddhartha learned that the way to enlightenment was not through total deprivation. balance was necessary. the way to truth was a middle path between the extremes of indulgence and deprivation. he ate the bowl of rice. replenished, he began to mediate once again.
on day, sitting beneath a fig tree, his efforts led to enlightenment. he became buddha, or “the awakened one,” and the people who followed his beliefs became buddhists. he began spreading his ideas about the four noble truths. the first truth is that in life there is suffering. this suffering continues through endless rebirths. the second truth is that suffering is caused by desire. the third truth is that desire can cease. the fourth truth is that there is a way to end desire, and therefore suffering, by living according to the eightfold path.

passage 2:
long ago, in the hills of the himalayas near a lotus was reborn as a baby elephant. he was a magnificent, pure white elephant. his trunk gleamed like a silver rope and his ivory tusks curled up in long arcs.
he followed his mother everywhere. she plucked the most tender leaves and sweetest mangoes from the tall trees and gave them to him. “first you, then me,” she said. she bathed him in the lotus pool among the fragrant flowers. drawing the shimmering water up in her trunk, she sprayed him over the top of his head and back until he shone. then they rested in the soft muck of their trunks curled together. in the deep shadows of afternoon, the mother elephant rested in the shade of a rose-apple tree and happily watched her son romp and frolic with other baby elephants.
the little elephant grew and grew until he was the tallest and strongest young bull in the herd. and while he grew taller and stronger, his mother grew older and older. her tusks were yellow and broken and in time she became blind. the young elephant plucked the most tender leaves and sweetest mangoes from the tall trees and gave them to his dear old blind mother. “first you, then me,” he said.
he bathed her in the cool lotus pool the same as she did to him. then they rested together in the soft muck with their trunks curled together. in the deep shadows of the afternoon, the young elephant guided his mother to the shade of the rose-apple tree. then he went roaming with the other elephants. one day a king was hunting and spied a magnificent white elephant. “what a splendid animal! i must have him to ride upon! ” so the king captured the elephant and put him in the royal stable. he adorned him with silk and jewels and garlands of lotus flowers. he gave him sweet grass and juicy plums and filled his trough with pure water.
but the young elephant would not eat or drink. he wept and wept, growing thinner each day. “noble elephant,” said the king, “i adorn you with silk and jewels. i give you the finest food and the purest water, yet you do not eat or drink. what will you? ” the young elephant said, “silk and jewels, food and drink do not make me happy. my blind old mother is alone in the forest with no one to care for her. though i may die, i will take no food or water until i give some to her first.”
the king said, “never have i seen such kindness, not even among humans. it is not right to keep this young elephant in chains.” free, the young elephant raced through the hills looking for his mother. he found her by the lotus pool. there she lay in the mud, too weak to move. with tears in his eyes, he filled his trunk with water and sprayed the top of her head and back until she shone. “is it raining? ” she asked. “or has my son returned to me? ”
“it is your very own son! ” he cried. “the king has set me free! ” as he washed her eyes, a miracle happened. her sight returned.
“may the kings rejoice today as i rejoice at seeing my son again! ” she said.
the young elephant then plucked the most tender leaves and the sweetest mangoes from a tree and gave them to her. “first you, then me.”
