  18. We learn that the Prince was a determined individual. He tried to find the answer to suffering by embracing his own suffering in the world. He fasted. He meditated and lived as an ascetic after he had left his family. He later renounced asceticism. He went for a moderate way. He resisted temptation.Finally he achieved the enlightenment he was looking for. We can never know what that meant exactly. What we can say is that it was a peace of the mind. A tranquillity, a haven a serene contentment. He was not unaware of the world after enlightenment. What he did was have his eyes opened to all people in their suffering.

  19. His method was to teach people to meditate. Then they had to follow his teachings. They are all quite simple. Then if you lived a good life you would avoid reincarnation and achieve enlightenment. The reason why people become Buddhists would be that they agree with the Buddha that life is unsatisfactory and that they seek to find meaning in believing that continually striving for perfection is the answer.
