Vijaya Ji नमस्ते। You are absolutely right. Buddha had a son and a beautiful loving caring wife. He had family, kingdom and many other belongings when he was Siddartha. He enjoyed all the pleasures of the palace. He had mentioned that his father had built four palaces for four seasons and all of them were filled with women servers only, not men. He enjoyed the sensual pleasure till he was 29. Greed for the pleasure couldn't bound him when he saw the suffering. He left the palace in search of the end of the suffering. If pleasure were the solution, why would he be abondaning it? After 6 years of hard work Siddartha got enlightened and known as Buddha, the awakened one, since then. He found that the cause of suffering was craving for pleasure. Anybody who craves for pleasure will suffer. To end suffering one has to leave craving. This was his discovery. He claimed that by abandaning craving he brought all the sufferings of his life to end. He taught how to abandon craving to all of his disciples, and many of them could end the suffering fo their life in his life time. If he didn't have acheived something better than the royal life, wouldn't he have gone back to palace and enjoy the life of pleasure again? Instead he lived in Jungle. When he came back to Kapilvastu, after 11 years, his father requested him to take charge of the kingdom, but he didn't. Instead he ordained his 11 years old son. His half brother, his step mother, his wife, his half sister and 500 Sakya princes joined the order. His technique is science my friend, it works. I am not convincing you, don't take it that way. I am just revealing the truth. Here is a piece of his teaching for you :) You are your own master, and you are responsible for your own actions.
