... RS1 Describe in detail what is meant by the 'Middle Way'. Siddharta Gautama was born about 563 BCE, in a garden called Lumbini, in the foothills of the Himalayas. Siddharta was said to have been born out of the side of his mother, Queen Maya, who died seven days later. It is said that once he was born he immediately took seven steps towards each quarter of heaven, and at each step up sprung a lotus flower. He then declared that he would have no more births, and that this was his last body and that he would 'pluck out by the roots the sorrow caused by birth and death'. Siddharta was brought up into the Shakya Clan and lived a very rich lifestyle. But this did not satisfy him, so he decided to go in search of enlightenment and at the age of 19 he started to think seriously about his life.
