Question
How did the childhood experiences of buddha lead to his questioning of the spiritual practices of his time?

Answer
Hi Michael
Thanks for your question.

So what do you already know about Buddha? And what is your personal
interest and experience of considering this?

I never answer essay questions in the abstract - but if
you have considered the topic and have some personal question
relating to this I would be happy to answer it.

Peace
Bodhicitta
