Summary
After eight years in the forest with the yoga teachers, trying to reach the highest level of consciousness, the Buddha left it, probably tired of it or disappointed, and sat down under a tree in the same posture. By then he had already given up trying to become superhuman, so he noticed that he was human, recognised that the truth is in himself and in the whole of the universe, and realised that this world, here and now, is reality.
