"There Buddha found his teacher Alar Kalama, a native of vaishali accoding to Mahavasta (IL,118) Aalar was so advanced in meditation that sitting on the road, he did not hear or see even 500 carts ratting post him
mahapasinibha nasuttanta (IV,35).Mrs Rhys Davids has also reorded her conclasion that the Buddha found his first two teachers, Alar and Uddaka, at vaishali and evenstarted his veligious life as a Jain under their teachings, A support for one Buddha's Jain beginngings may be found in the fact that he vave hisself up to a course of austervities associated with Jainism by which he reduced hemself to a nere skeleton, skin cendlones by witmately him his food to the quanity that could he hold in his holdwood palne, in a manner of a good Jain like Mahavira. As iseel known, his health was not equeal to othis extreme of nortitecation, then he parted company with Jainism and discovered for himself the Middle-park, for which Buddissm is known the path that was between the two esxtremes of self forture and self indulgance.
