All of us are looking for something at some point in our lives. You might be searching for love, truth, wholeness, or self-realization. Myths and fairytales can teach us a lot about the quest and they follow a similar pattern. Even the story of how Siddhartha Gautama became the Buddha. 

In this program, I tell the story of how Siddhartha became enlightened and draw a few parallels between his journey and fairytales like “Valemon the White Bear King.”
