The five wise men who were at Princ

The five wise men who were at Prince Siddhartha's naming ceremony not only predicted the great future of the new prince, but had given the king a warning "When your son sees a sick man, an old man, a dead body and a monk, he will want to leave the palace and become a monk himself," they had said . These words worried the king. He became afraid that this son would see these four sights and leave the palace. To shield Siddhartha from any such experiences he employed many young servants to distract and protect him, and did not allow any sick or old people or monks to go into the palace. He built Siddhartha three palace: one for winter, one for summer and one for rainy season, as well as enclosed parks and hunting grounds.
