Siddhartha Gotama was born into a royal family in Lumbini, now located in Nepal, in 563 BC.
悉达多乔达摩是在公元前563年出生于在蓝毗尼的一个帝王家族,在现在的尼泊尔境内。
But when we rely upon the recluse Gotama as our refuge, we do not apprehend him merely as a particular individual, a wise and sensible sage.
不过,当我们依止隐者乔达摩作为自己的庇护时,并不把他仅仅理解为一位智慧贤明的个人。
The Buddha, on the external level, refers to Siddhattha Gotama, the Indian prince who renounced his royal titles and went into the forest, meditating until he ultimately gained Awakening.
