At the age of 29, Siddhartha abandoned the noble status of the prince, left his wife and children, shaved his hair, and visited famous teachers in the mountains and wilderness in order to relieve the pain of life. In his middle age, he finally came to a great enlightenment under a bodhi tree. Established the Buddhist doctrine. Because he is a member of the Sakya people. So his followers and believers call him "Sakyamuni", which means "sage of Sakyamuni".
