Brahma to become a Buddha, he is down to human nature and
entrance to the uterus Bandhumatã Queen, consort of King Bandhuma in
City Bandhumati. Ten months later born bodhisatta

Event Magic
Since bodhisatta born, wherever he went, day or night,

hot and cold, dust and dew. He adored a lot of people.
Lap of one person to another, have no chance to
His foot on the ground.
Name Meaning Vipassã
Since birth he has very beautiful eyes, which is
kammavipàkaja (displayed as a result of virtues
he has done), like the eye-god sharp. With eyes
This bodhisatta can view unhindered by anything so far
Yojana day and night. Like a god of Tàvatiÿsa
who see with open eyes, as well bodhisatta
see with his eyes almost never closed;
therefore he was named Prince Vipassã.
In addition, one day, during a court
on a case by his father, King Bandhuma, as usual
baby prince handed over to his father, the king of his lap,
and while the king playing with his children, minister indicted
one who professes to have the property that was not hers.
Due to an unfair decision, the prince cried loudly; king
then ordered the people to investigate what
happened to her son by saying, "What happened
with my son? Please be investigated. "The results of their investigations
states that nothing can cause infant
cry other than the judge who gave the wrong decision.
Then the decision was reversed, was satisfied, the infant stopped

Palace Life
When Prince Vipassã adulthood, he lived in three
palaces, namely, Nanda, Sunanda, and Sirimà, with serviced by
female servants, led by Prince Sudassana
(or Sutanu), he enjoyed the luxury of the palace like
god for eight thousand years.
Four Signs
One day, Prince Vipassã call the coachman and the carriage
said, "I want to see the park, I want to go there." In
way to the park by horse-drawn carriage ride, he
saw an old man who is actually a god in disguise.
(Because it is a strange sight, he had never
see parents earlier), he asked, "O charioteer, what
people do this? Hair and body are not like those
other people. "
"My lord, he is an old man," replied the coachman. "Are parents
is it? "asked Prince again (because he does not understand the meaning parents).
"My lord," replied the coachman, "parents are those whose age
already a lot. He will not live much longer. "" The driver, if I
will grow old too? "" My lord, you and me, and also all
others, must be old. Nobody can
away from old age. "
Then the prince said, "I do not want to see the park again,
returned to the palace. "When he reached the palace, he was contemplating
"Oh, the birth is very tiring, because there are certain birth
there is old age. "By reflecting this, the prince becomes
grieving.
Knowing that from the driver, the king provides everything
to please her more than ever, for
prevent the release worldly prince.
Several thousand years later, when the prince to walk to
park for the second time and saw the sick, he does not
continue his journey, but turned to the palace as
previously. When the father knew unhappiness and
his moodiness, he is more fun with
the objects of sense enjoyment.
On the third trip to the park, several thousand years
later, he saw the dead and then returned to the palace
same as before.
Several thousand years later when he traveled
fourth to the park, he met a hermit and
asked the driver about the hermit. After learning
from the driver about whether the hermit that, he became very
excited that he ordered his coachman to approach
these hermit.
Having caught up with the hermit, he asked
more about life as a hermit and he
become even more excited; He then said
to the driver, "driver, take the train back to the palace and
keep it there. I'm going to be a hermit in this place, too. "
So he sent the driver home. That day is
days in which the Princess gave birth to a son named Sudassana
Samavattakkhandha.
After the driver went home, shaved-Prince Vipassã

Then eighty-four thousand inhabitants Bandhumati,
after hearing about the prince who goes off
worldliness, to follow His example and be a hermit as well.

With accompanied by eighty-four thousand such ascetic,
Bodhisatta Vipassã traveled to the villages, towns and cities.
Wherever he went, people set up pavilions and
giving food offerings on a large scale; but
Bodhisatta feel tired with all the offerings that scale
