Focus on the life of the historical Buddha and the doctrinal foundations of his new religious movement.

What prompted the historical Buddha, Siddhārtha Gautama, to establish a new religion? What events in the Buddha’s life shape his outlook on life and contribute to his realization about the Four Noble Truths of the human condition? What does “life is suffering” mean? What is the source of suffering and how is it related to the Buddhist doctrine of “no-self” (anātman) and the “Five Aggregates?” Why did the Buddha choose this somewhat pessimistic view to be the cornerstone of his religion? How do we transcend and overcome suffering? Does this path necessarily lead to nirvana/enlightenment? Why/why not?
