His contemplative nature and boundless compassion did not permit him to enjoy the fleeting material pleasures of a royal household. He knew no woe, but he felt a deep pity for sorrowing humanity. Amidst comfort and prosperity, he realized the universality of sorrow. The palace, with all its worldly amusements, was no longer a congenial place for the compassionate prince. The time was ripe for him to depart. Realizing the vanity of sensual enjoyments, in his twenty-ninth year, he renounced all worldly pleasures and donning the simple yellow garb of an ascetic, alone, penniless, wandered forth in search of Truth and Peace.

Prince Siddartha saw the suffering around him and wanted to find the answers on how to solve the problems of disease, old age and death. The cause of our suffering is our egotistical attachment to everything around us including the seeking of enlightenment.

THE SECOND NOBLE TRUTH
What is the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering?
It is craving which renews being and is accompanied by relish and lust, relishing this and that: in other words, craving for sensual desires, craving for being, craving for non-being. But whereon does this craving arise and flourish? Wherever there is what seems lovable and gratifying, thereon it arises and flourishes.
There is this Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering:such was the vision, insight, wisdom, knowing and light that arose in me about things not heard before.
This Noble Truth must be penetrated to by abandoning the origin of suffering....
This Noble Truth has been penetrated to by abandoning the origin of suffering: such was the vision, insight, wisdom, knowing and light that arose in me about things not heard before.
[Samyutta Nikaya LVI, 11]
The Second Noble Truth with its three aspects is: ‘There is the origin of suffering, which is attachment to desire. Desire should be let go of. Desire has been let go of.’
The Second Noble Truth states that there is an origin of suffering and that the origin of suffering is attachment to the three kinds of desire: desire for sense pleasure (kama tanha), desire to become (bhava tanha) and desire to get rid of (vibhava tanha). This is the statement of the Second Noble Truth, the thesis, the pariyatti. This is what you contemplate: the origin of suffering is attachment to desire.

be careful with literal translations from languages and cultures that are very different. actual harm is very *no longer* what the Buddha replaced into conversing about with reference to suffering in the context of the 4 noble truths. Translating for accuracy for the fashionable, western global it ability: "lifestyles is imperfect. To anticipate in the different case will enhance your disappointment." "lifestyles is impermanent. To anticipate that sturdy issues will continuously very last will make you unhappy. To anticipate that undesirable will continuously very last will make you more desirable unhappy than you want to be." "The which technique of lifestyles comes from interior of. the way you stay your lifestyles each and every second of on a daily basis will be happier in case you pay interest to it because it occurs. meaning will deliver you excitement in case you loose your self from the expectancy that different issues and human beings can or ought to make you chuffed of and by technique of themselves." "Be what you want to develop into. to imagine it isn't adequate and may want to even enhance your disappointment. do not practice what you carry forth. practice. do not carry forth." ---- "yearning" in this context is needing something that you do not have. it may well be the "envy" or "lust" of the western record of deadly sins, even though it really is meant to be something some distance more desirable diffused. floor your self in what's. appreciate the particular second. pass ahead in elementary words in the context of what's on the spot and actual.

Like in Daoism it is all about coveting. If you desire, you will find your downfall. By the way, there are like twenty-four buddhas. And the whole Siddartha story is full of holes.
