Quote “A man is not called wise
because he talks and talks again;
but if he is peaceful, loving and
fearless then he is in truth called wise.”
― Dhammapada, Buddha

Summary of the Buddhas Practices:

The future Buddha left
Rajagaha and practised under
two hermit teachers of yogic meditation.
After mastering the teachings
of Alara Kalama he was asked
by Kalama to succeed him.
However, Gautama felt
unsatisfied by the practice,
and moved on to become a student
of yoga with Udaka Ramaputta.

With him, he achieved high
levels of meditative consciousness
and was again asked to succeed
his teacher. But, once more,
he was not satisfied,
and again moved on.

Awakening

In the Mahabodhi temple in Bodh Gaya,
India, is the place where Gautama
Buddha attained nirvana underneath
the Bodhi Tree.

According to the early Buddhist
texts, after realizing that
meditative dhyana was the right
path to awakening, but that
extreme asceticism didn't work,
Gautama discovered what Buddhists
know as being, the Middle Way—
a path of moderation away from the
extremes of self-indulgence and
self-mortification, or the
Noble Eightfold Path, as
described in the Dhammacakkappavattana
Sutta, which is regarded as the
first discourse of the Buddha.

In a famous incident, after
becoming starved and weakened,
he is said to have accepted milk
and rice pudding from a village
girl named Sujata. Such was his
emaciated appearance that she
wrongly believed him to be a
spirit that had granted her a wish.

Then he vowed never to arise
until he had found the truth.
Kaundinya and four other companions,
believing that he had abandoned
his search and become undisciplined,
ceased to stay with him, and went
somewhere else.

After a reputed 49 days of
meditation, at the age of 35,
he is said to have attained
Enlightenment, and became
known as the Buddha or "Awakened One".
