I think concept such as King is god's given right can be interpret as a sin in Buddhism

Base on my limited knowledge towards Buddhism ideology. I think ideas such as King is god's given right and divin right of the King, which exist in our conservative Western Ideology might be interpret as a sin in Buddhism ideology.
Buddha's real name is Siddharta, crown prince of India, his son Rahula was the King of India.
Buddha was extrenely dissatisfied with the contrast between the luxury life of the aristocratic (the royals) and the suffering he observed endemic in all of his people. (which in conservative western ideology will refer to as pesants or commoners.)
As a result, at the age of 29, which was around 534 BC, Buddha abandoned his inheritance within the palace and began to live an ascetic lif and training with ascetic philosophers, but six years later he found such training to be useless and abandon it and try to use training of other forms, including meditation.
Buddha eventually came up with his new philosphoical thoughts known as Bodhi, where he talk about the reason of human suffering and the way to eliminate it.
Buddha claim he is not a god, but merely a messanger (Although in the main stream Budhism faith in China, Korea, Taiwan and Japan these days, Buddha is consider as a god.)
Buddha also claim the Enlightment of his phiolosphy do not come into existence as a result of Super Nature reason, but the result of a close attention to the nature of the human mind which could be rediscovered by anyone for themselves. (In other word, Human psychology, I guess.)
Buddha spended the next 45 years spreading his teaching and his meditation technique, which is a path to enlightment, his students included monks and nuns to continue spreading his teaching after his death.
Buddha died at the age of 80.
