Hey all- I've been working on the main Buddhism article, and I thought this one could use some tweaks as well. I have been working out of the brief discussion of the Buddha's biography in Rupert Gethin's book 'The Foundations of Buddhism'. I have tried to push this article a little closer to current scholarly understanding of the Buddha's life, but there is a lot more that could be done. I will try to add some detail about the renouncer tradition at some point. This article is not something I am actively working on, though, so feel free to add whatever you like. Thanks, Brian P.
