There was this tradition of asceticism, of people going off into the woods and meditating and thinking about the nature of life. And these folks were much more focused on the spiritual core. And so Buddha initially takes that track. He goes and he meditates. And he eventually comes to a realization. He awakens, so to speak, that the root of Buddhism is that there should not be this stratified society, that one should not focus on ritual, that at the end of the day, you need to have a very personal path to nirvana, to escaping the cycle of samsara. So I would argue, if I were to simply answer the question, why did Buddhism emerge when and where it did?
