Buddha's Story
According to the Mahayana Buddhist Sutras, he was a king who renounced his kingdom and became a monk named Dharmakara. After observing the suffering in the world, he took 48 vows. He promised not to attain enlightenment until he had liberated all living beings from suffering. He practiced for a long time before fulfilling all the vows. Now, as an enlightened Buddha, he can be asked for help in the afterlife on his path of life.
