One evening, a gentle traveler arrived as the sun set over a quiet village in Magadha. He wore simple golden robes and carried nothing but a calm and peaceful smile. He sat under a large Bodhi tree, resting in silence.

The villagers noticed him and were curious. One of them, a merchant named Jivaka, approached him and asked, "Stranger, who are you, and why do you sit here without worry?"

The traveler opened his eyes and replied, "I am Gautama, of the Sakya clan. I have found a path that leads beyond suffering, and I share it with those who wish to listen."

Jivaka was intrigued. "Beyond suffering? How is that possible? Life is full of pain, loss, and struggle."

Buddha smiled gently. "Like the passing of seasons, suffering comes and goes. When we understand that nothing is permanent, we stop clinging to what is temporary, and we find peace."

The villagers gathered around, listening to his words. His voice was calm, his presence soothing. That night, many sat under the Bodhi tree, eager to learn the wisdom of the Buddha.

And from that moment on, their lives were never the same.
