Until the age of 29, Sidhartha became a father of a son, life was going all smooth suddenly there is an incident that happened in his life which changed his perception of looking into life. One fine day while he was on his way to Kapilavastu he run across the three brutal truths of life when he saw a sick man, an old person, and a corpse being carried to the cremation ground, and while returning to the palace he saw an ascetic walking peacefully, he realizes no wealth can save him from the harsh reality of getting sick, old and subject to death. So in a desire to find the solution to overcome this fear he left the royal crown and leave the lavish life. 6 years after under a Bidhi tree he gets the enlightenment. And spent the rest of his life preaching about his discovery and how to achieve it.The teaching Buddha is that moment of his life where he first gave his sermon to his diples at Sarnath. Each of his gestures of hands and posture has some nonverbal spiritual significance. Buddha is seen sitting on a lotus platform in the Vajrasan pose.

The left hand resting on the lap forms the same circle, palm face upward. The remaining fingers of both hands remain extended. The middle extended finger of the right hand represents the listener of the teaching. The ring finger symbolizes the solitary Buddha (who independently achieves liberation), the little finger denotes Mahayana Buddhism. The other three fingers of the left hand denote the treasures of Buddhism fist the Buddha (the enlightened one), The Dharma (teachings), and the Sangha (the spiritual community).
