Episode #009 ... The Buddha

Published: Nov. 11, 2013, 2:57 a.m.

b'On this episode of the podcast, we learn about the life of Siddhartha Gautama and his Heisenberg-esque transformation into Buddha. We learn how Buddha left a lifestyle of being fed grapes and being fanned with palm leaves to pursue a life of celibacy, starvation, and sleep deprivation. We also learn about how Buddha reached enlightenment while sitting beneath a fruit tree \\xe0 la Isaac Newton, and about the four noble truths which he believed were the key to ending human suffering once and for all.
