Long ago, a baby prince named Siddhartha （悉達多） was born into a royal family. His father, the king, wanted his son to be happy forever, so he built a beautiful palace filled with gardens, music, and every treasure. The prince grew up wealthy, and he never saw anything sad. But inside his heart, he felt that something important was missing.
很久很久以前，一個叫做「悉達多（Siddhartha）」（悉達多）的小太子出生在一個皇室家庭。他的父親，也就是國王，希望兒子永遠快樂，所以蓋了一座美麗的「皇宮（palace）」，裡面滿是花園、音樂和各種寶物。太子在「富有（wealthy）」中長大，從來沒見過任何悲傷的事。但在他心裡，他感覺到有某個重要的東西不見了。
One day the prince rode outside the palace walls. For the first time he saw four sights: an old man, a sick man, a person who had died, and a calm wandering monk. The first three showed him that everyone grows old, gets sick, and dies — this is the suffering （苦） the palace had hidden from him. But the peaceful monk gave him hope: there might be a way to find true happiness.
有一天，太子騎馬到皇宮的城牆外面。他第一次看見了「四種景象（four sights）」：一位老人、一位病人、一個已經過世的人，以及一位平靜雲遊的修行人。前面三個讓他看見：每個人都會變老、生病、死亡——這正是皇宮一直瞞著他的「苦（suffering）」（苦）。但那位平靜的修行人帶給他希望：也許有一條路可以找到真正的快樂。
So the prince made a brave choice. He left his palace, his riches, and his comfortable life to begin a great journey. His purpose was not to become rich, but to find a way to help all people be free from suffering. After years of searching, he sat quietly under a tree and looked deeply into his own mind — and there he found enlightenment （覺悟）. From that day he was called the Buddha, “the Awakened One,” and he taught the world the path of the Dharma Wheel （法輪）, the map that guides us home.
於是太子做了一個勇敢的決定。他離開了他的皇宮、他的財富和他舒適的生活，展開一段偉大的「旅程（journey）」。他的「人生目標（purpose）」不是要變富有，而是要找到一條路，幫助「所有人（all people）」遠離苦。經過多年的尋找，他靜靜地坐在一棵樹下，深深地觀照自己的內心——在那裡，他找到了「覺悟（enlightenment）」（覺悟）。從那天起，他被稱為「佛陀（Buddha）」，也就是「覺者」，他向世界傳授「法輪（Dharma Wheel）」（法輪）之道，那張引導我們回家的地圖。
