Prince Siddhartha’s experiences with suffering transformed [transformed: to change in appearance or character] him. Suddenly, hi

s royal life seemed empty. He wanted to find the happiness and peace that the ascetic had found.
Siddhartha decided to give up his old life and search for enlightenment [enlightenment: the state of gaining spiritual insight and finding universal truth; the goal of Buddhists] . Becoming enlightened would mean finding deep truth and freedom from suffering.
One night, the prince asked his driver to take him to the forest. At the edge of the dark woods, Siddhartha removed his royal robes, sandals, and jewels. He cut off his hair with a knife. He put on a simple robe and carried only a small bowl for alms [alms: goods or money given to the poor] ,or gifts of food. Wishing his driver farewell, Siddhartha began his life as an ascetic.
Siddhartha met other ascetics as he wandered the forests and fields. Like him, they wanted to understand the nature of the world. They believed that they could reach enlightenment through meditation. While meditating, the ascetics sat quietly and focused their minds on spiritual questions. Siddhartha quickly became an expert at meditation.
The ascetics also denied [denied: to hold back and refuse something] themselves many basic needs. For example, they stayed up all night without sleeping. They sat in the hot sun without shelter. They held their breath for several minutes. They also fasted, or stopped eating, for many days at a time. They hoped to find spiritual truth through self-denial.
Siddhartha continued to follow the way of the ascetics for some time. He became terribly thin from lack of food. According to Buddhist tradition, he became so thin that he could touch his stomach and feel his backbone. Eventually, he became unhappy with this extreme way of living. And he had not yet found the key to enlightenment.

Siddhartha came from a privileged background where he had most things that people dream of.
But he lacked the most important thing in the world - inner peace.

He would only find his inner peace tho if he freed himself from the shackles of his materialistic being.

Once he had saved himself from the clutches of his riches, inner peace came much closer to him.

He engaged with others to help them be the best version of theme-selves too.

Finding their inner balance was a struggle but one that would be worth it in the future.But he found that this still didn’t bring him inner peace and that his discovery wasn’t yet completed.

Pls give me a brainliest thx

Why was West Germany accepted into NATO in 1955?
Alexus [3.1K]
The entrance of West Germany into NATO was the final step in integrating that nation into the defense system of Western Europe. It was also the final nail in the coffin as far as any possibility of a reunited Germany in the near future. For the next 35 years, East and West Germany came to symbolize the animosities of the Cold War. In 1990, Germany was finally reunified; the new German state remained a member of NATO.

What countries were on each side of the Cold War...
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Communist countries verses Democratic (capitalist) governments

Explanation:

Basically the cold war was a "cold" or stale war between the pro-communist governments and the anti-communist governments. Main players included Pro-Comm: Soviet Union, China East Germany and the Warsaw Pact

Capitolism or Democratic: United States, France. Great Britian, West Germany and NATO

The Cold War was more of a political war than a physically fought war. It can be traced to the end of WWII or 1945. But, officially started in 1947 with the Truman Doctrine. It was a "geopolticial" war which had very little physical confrontation. The tension between the USSR and the US greated in 1949 when the USSR tested it's first Atom Bomb when the US announced a bigger better bomb, there was a fear of nuclear war between the 2 countries. The Space Race was also a highented compeititon which the USSR was ahead in landing a man on the moon in 1961, which President Kennedy would counter with declaring "we would put a man on the moon by the end of the decade."

The idea of the Red Scare (1947) would spread amongst the American people (and other capitalist countries) this was the rapid fear of communisim spreading into our governments and taking over slightenly. This would lead to people being fired, black-listed, and prosecutions of suspected communist.

Notable conlicts in this time were The Bay of Pigs 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis 1962, The Korean 1950-53 and Vietinam Wars 1955-75 were overseas conflicts that the US became involved with due to NATO ties and as an attempt to stop the international spread of communist governments.

The fall of the Berlin wall, seperating East and West Germany famously came down in 1989 and the USSR colapsed in 1991 officially ending the Cold War. The biggest note is there was never direct warfare between the USSR and the US, only proxy wars.
