Siddhartha realized at age 29 that he could not be happy living as a prince and discovered suffering, so he snuck out of the palace with his squire and horse. The Mahabodhi temple was built at Bodh Gaya in India where Buddha found enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree more than 2,500 years ago. The document also mentions ancient Buddha temples in Pagan, Myanmar and Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha.
