Features: Sakyamuni is a revered saint, and before attaining enlightenment, he too had doubts and suffering. What distinguished him from ordinary people was his ability to empathize with the suffering of all beings, thus generating the supreme aspiration for liberation. He renounced everything that ordinary people desire—wealth, throne, wife, and children—and. After six years of arduous practice and enduring hardships, he ultimately severed all nameless afflictions, realized the truth of the universe and human existence, attained fundamental liberation, and became the Buddha who had attained perfect enlightenment.
